This is a great tool to attract retuning customers.

What information should you include on your business card? That also depends on you. At the very least you should include your business name as the header along with your name and title and of course, include your website address. It is up to you if you want to also include your physical address and phone number on your business card. If you have a designated business phone number, then you should definitely include that number as it will make you appear more legitimate.
