That’s not just a waste of money\u2014it’s a missed opportunity to connect with potential clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Think about the last forgettable business card you received. How quickly did it end up in the trash? The difference between a card that gets kept and one that gets tossed comes down to purposeful design that sparks curiosity and conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this article, I’ll show you how to create coaching business cards that stand out, reflect your brand, and actually help you attract more clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ideas for Life Coaching Business Cards<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Before you start getting some life coach<\/span> business cards<\/span> designed for yourself, let\u2019s explore the key elements your business card<\/span> should include.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Make sure your business card<\/span> has your name. If you have any other certifications, list them next to your name. Don\u2019t be shy here! <\/p>\n\n\n\n That includes life coach<\/span> certifications, medical qualifications, teacher qualifications\u2014anything you deem relevant to the coaching<\/span> work you do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you don\u2019t yet have a life coaching<\/span> niche, it\u2019s time to choose one. There\u2019s an abundance of life coaches out there today, which means you need to help yourself stand out and attract your dream clients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n How do you do this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Niche down! <\/p>\n\n\n\n Think about it this way: If I\u2019m a woman looking for a female coach<\/span> to help me feel more empowered and confident as a woman, then who am I likely to search for?<\/p>\n\n\n\n A women\u2019s empowerment coach<\/span>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you\u2019ve decided on your niche<\/a>, make sure you list it on your business cards<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your website should look like this: www.yourname.com or yourname.com (no need for the https part).<\/p>\n\n\n\n You should have a web presence because it\u2019s one of the first places a potential client will go to get a feel for who you are, who you help, and the packages and services you offer.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pro tip<\/strong>: Use Paperbell<\/a> to create beautiful coaching websites in minutes. You’ll also get a pretty URL that can be easily displayed on your card.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you\u2019ve purchased a domain, you can then set up a matching email address, e.g., malin@malinjones.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Make sure your email address is listed on your business card<\/span>, because many people prefer to reach out via email, rather than directly on the phone, these days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have a physical address for your business or a physical postal address, then you can use this here if you want to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Avoid using your home address\u2014keep your personal and professional life separate (trust me on this one!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n But listing your location isn\u2019t necessary since the majority of life coaches work entirely remotely. You can always write something broader, like the city or country you\u2019re based in.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have a work phone number or a virtual answering service set up, then list your number here. But again, having a phone number isn\u2019t necessary. If a potential client reaches out via email, you\u2019ll probably set up a discovery call<\/span> with them (via Zoom<\/a> or something similar), which means having a phone number becomes redundant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Your business card<\/span> is your chance to make an impression and demonstrate the value you provide to your clients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s how to do it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We have incredibly fickle attention spans, and there are hundreds of messages and businesses trying to turn our heads each day. So, if you want someone to remember what you do, spell it out on your business card<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What you\u2019re looking for is a short and sweet slogan or one-liner<\/a> that sums you and your coaching<\/span> business up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To get started, write down some keywords or themes, or services you provide. Play around with putting them together and think about the message you want to convey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have room, list some of the primary services you offer<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are some creative ideas<\/a> to make you and your business card stand out from the pack:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before you design your life coach<\/span> business cards<\/a><\/span>, think about what you want the receiver of your card to do. What action do you want them to take?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Next step\u2014tell them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Include a link to a web page where they can enjoy a free gift from you in exchange for their email list. This is a great way to build your email list (if you don\u2019t have one, start one today), provide value, keep the communication channel open, and build trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your gift could be an ebook, a 20-minute discovery call<\/span> with you, a discount on one of your packages for a limited time only, a cheat sheet or workbook. Let your imagination run wild, and create something that aligns with the coaching<\/span> services you provide.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lifestyle coach design – Canva<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n A photo element is a great way to create a stronger connection with your potential client. This card does this well, while also including all the other key information you\u2019d want to see. Don\u2019t be afraid to play around with the fonts and colors of ready-made templates like this one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The colors of this business card<\/span> are striking, while the simplistic design gives it a lovely modern aesthetic. There\u2019s plenty of blank space to jot down a message, too.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n This design is simple but effective. It tells us what this person does, and how to contact her to find out more. The colors, logo and fonts can also easily be changed to better suit your personal coaching<\/span><\/a> brand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I love how simple this design is! Sometimes, less really is more. You could add a tagline to the front, underneath your title, then a small list of key services on the other side. If black and white isn\u2019t your cup of tea, experiment with different color ways.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Designed by Mandy Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mandy Love\u2019s business card<\/span> design for her client Tracy J Edmonds also makes a bold statement differently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Her photo helps you get a sense of who she is and her personality. It\u2019s much easier to remember faces rather than names, and since many of us are visual people, this business card<\/span> is a winner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This life coach<\/span> business card<\/span> makes a statement because one side is a beautiful printed piece of art\u2014something you would definitely want to keep or pin to a noticeboard at home. The other side also has all of this person\u2019s key contact information, as well as space for anything extra you want to add. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This life coaching<\/span> business card<\/span> is perfect for you, if social media<\/span> is a large part of how you promote your coaching<\/span> services<\/a> and connect with people. There\u2019s room for a fun, inventive tagline on the front, with all your key contact information on the back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A new type of business card design that\u2019s becoming popular is business cards with dynamic QR Code<\/a>, created using a secure QR code generator<\/a>, which lead you to a digital business card when scanned. Digital <\/a>business cards store information like name, address, phone number, website, photo, location, user bio, social media links, and more, in an online format known as .vcf (virtual contact file). <\/p>\n\n\n\n Your clients can scan the QR Code on your card, view your contact information, and save it on their mobile devices with a single click. If a client prefers using their laptop instead, you can help them scan QR code on Mac<\/a> with ease. It\u2019s a simple way to make sure no one misses your digital business card \u2014 no matter what device they\u2019re on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, you\u2019re now ready to make your life coach<\/span> business cards<\/span>, but where should you start?<\/p>\n\n\n\n The most economical option is to use a design and print-on-demand company that allows you to design your card online, then print it and get it delivered to your door within days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Vistaprint<\/a> and Moo.com<\/a> are two of the best printing services for business cards<\/span> and are incredibly easy to use. Once you\u2019ve gathered all the information you need for your cards, head to one of these sites to get started. There are also plenty of ready-made templates to choose from, if you need a little help in the design department. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re more confident in your design abilities, you may want to use a design tool like Canva<\/a>, which will give you much more creative control over your design. You can then use their printing service and get your cards delivered to you, or you can upload your design straight to one of the above printers, or even source a local printer near you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Common business card<\/span> mistakes to watch out for:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Another option is to hire a graphic and branding design professional to design your business cards<\/span> for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are the steps to take, to ensure you hire the right person and receive a design that is beautiful but also functional. This is not <\/em>a time for style over substance! <\/p>\n\n\n\n Spend some time browsing blogs, Instagram, and Pinterest<\/a> for business card inspiration. There\u2019s no shortage of delightful imagery and inspiration, and you\u2019re bound to find something that excites you. Save down all the designs you\u2019re drawn to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you\u2019re done researching, make notes on the key elements you love about these particular business card<\/span> designs. Ensure you also have a clear list of all the information you want to include on your life coach<\/span> business cards<\/span>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n There are many ways to find a designer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Make a list of potential good fits, then inquire with your top three choices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n One thing to be mindful of when working with a graphic designer<\/span> is that while they are likely to create a striking design, you need to make sure it\u2019s also readable! If it looks pretty but it\u2019s not legible, then it makes your card obsolete as a marketing tool<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n And that\u2019s everything you need to know when it comes to designing and printing your dazzling life coach business cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One last thing\u2014don\u2019t forget to have fun with it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n And if you’re looking for more help with your business, make sure to check out Paperbell, the online software for life coaches<\/a>.
