Your Card
You still need a card
Cards are less important than they were a few years ago but they are still a core part of the government market and people will expect you to have them.
We recommend providing the following pieces of information on your card:
On the front
- Your name
- Your title
- Company name
- Phone, email, address
On the back
- Your top 5 NAICS codes
- Your set-asides
- Any major contract vehicles you’re on (this won’t apply to new vendors but add them once you have them)
Example:
If you are looking for a card design and printer I recommend the design below from VistaPrint
