What information do you think should and should not be on a business card in 2015...
Name
Email
Direct Dial
Mobile
Office Address
Twitter HandleJust wondering what you guys think?

I'd just as soon not include the Twitter handle, but I'm old.
- this. but depends on the company obviously.lvl_13

Im old too hence I thought I should ask...
How do you feel about NO address? Do you think this is sketchy?
<<Company Logo>>
Name
Mobile
Email address
Company Website??
- I'd be happy with those 4 but what about job title?HAYZ1LLLA

I think its fine not to have the physical address since that information would likely be included on your website.
- but if they know they're in your neighborhood it might result in business lunches/drinkssarahfailin

Title can be important to include, especially if they are grabbing multiple cards from ppl at your office.

Im intrigued about the office comments...
A London and a Seattle address my suggest that the business is global.
Do you think that is a big deal?
OR do you think if people can be bothered to look at your site - they would find out everything they need to know?

Name

I think if you want to go minimalist, just Company, Name, Email, Cell. Everything else is google-able.
NO fax
NO twitter
NO any-other-handle
NO street addressWho follows someone on twitter after getting their business card?
In the modern age no one uses business cards in a roladex-- the info is all stored in email accounts and profiles. Your business card is a token that says-- "You met me in person. You get to have my cell phone number."
- Landlines are also archaic and a less reliable way to reach someone.sarahfailin
- good pointsmonospaced
- I think website is very important. At the end of the day all the other details like address, numbers, socail media details will be there.HAYZ1LLLA
