Business Card Slogans That Make You Memorable

Your business card is more than contact info,  it’s a 3.5″ x 2″ billboard for your brand. A clever slogan or tagline can turn an ordinary card into a memorable first impression. Here’s how to craft one that sticks.

 

Why Slogans on Business Cards Matter

When you hand over your card, people glance at it for only a few seconds. A clear, catchy tagline tells them who you are and what you do best without extra effort.

According to Forbes, strong slogans create instant recall, exactly what your card should achieve.

The Anatomy of a Great Business Card Tagline

A strong business card slogan should be:

  • Short (ideally 3–7 words)

  • Memorable (uses rhythm, rhyme, or contrast)

Examples of proven tagline styles:

  • Benefit-driven: “Coffee that fuels ideas”

  • Positioning statement: “Your neighborhood real estate guide”

  • Emotional hook: “Designs that move people”
