In my country we use a lot of business cards, always with some company logo and of course the details of which this card represents.

I do not know because I never see business cards but I think it should be there name phone number and email address

The business cards would have the name, the profession and the Whats-app and maybe the web page or Instagram. But, now its difficult introduce with other people using business card.

In Guinea, the business cards contains these informations like the logo, address and name of company, the name, title, email and phone numbers of worker.

Hello everyone, in my country business cards contain company's name, what business it carried out, address, mobile number, and other things. Individual business cards contain person's name what position in the company, which area he work, mobile number.

In Colombia the business cards usually have the following information: Names, position of role in the company, company's name, address, phone number, email address ang the loco of the company.

In my country, people often show some information such as: name, phone number, email and career on their business card

In my country usually, we write the name and position work and contact details like phone numbers and email address.

Hello Everybody. I am not a business woman. I never see a business card. That’s why I can not tell that what kind of information is written on the business cards in my country. But in my opinion business cards shows the information about the business man or business lady means their bio data and their employment status etc. Thank you.
