Default Business Card: Your Opinion

Hi all,

I am about to update my business card, as the company is now going down a somewhat different path. My question is this:

Should a business card include just name, company name, contact info, Web address, or should it also say what you/your company does?

What opinions do the rest of you guys hold on this, and why?

It depends on how you use them. If you plan on randomly passing them out, and leaving them places - you should consider putting information on what you do (on the back, or something). However, it would be much more effective if you took the time to talk to each person you gave a card to - in which case you wouldn't need to have your services listed on the card.

The front of my card has what you mentioned and the back has all the services that I offer.

I have gotten business from what people have read from the back of my card.

Honestly, it would be insufficient info, I think that's why a slogan tells all of it, try and be creative with your slogan.

Good idea...I am toying around with a new slogan now. In the past, we have used weaving the web, though I am not sure that one is sufficient. What do you think of it? And what do you think of Ignite your Internet?

You do consulting for them or?

By the way, I just got some cards from overnightprints.com I believe, totally recommend their service. Great prices, fast service, outstanding product.
