7 Effective Electrician Business Card Examples to Inspire You

1. Simple Electrician Business Card

While the sky’s the limit when it comes to business card ideas, some electricians prefer a simple, sleek look, and that’s OK. As Joe Friday famously said in Dragnet, “Just the facts, ma'am.” If standard business cards are more your thing, you’ll want to choose a minimalist design. 

For a simple business card design, consider adding your logo and business name, your name and job title, as well as your contact information and website address.  

Of course, you can also choose a two-sided design and still keep things simple. Utilizing both sides of a business card gives you even more real estate to work with. 

2. Multiple Services Electrician Business Card

Does your electrical business offer services beyond electrical work, such as HVAC, plumbing, or handyman services? Make sure to include them on your business card. At minimum, it advertises your full range of services to prospective customers. 

Listing multiple services also increases the chance a customer will hold onto your business card and reach out the next time they need to replace a toilet or service an air conditioner. If you do list multiple services, consider displaying them in a bulleted list to prevent the business card from looking too cluttered.

3. QR Code Electrician Business Card

A QR code business card adds a modern twist to traditional paper business cards. These business cards feature a QR code (short for Quick Response code) that customers scan with their smartphones. Once scanned, the QR code typically directs the recipient to a digital destination, such as a website, social media promotion, FAQ page, or direct link to schedule electrical service.

You may want to consider a QR code business card if you prefer a minimalist look to your design. The QR code essentially allows you to direct customers to more information, so you don’t need to include every detail on the business card. However, this format may also potentially turn off customers who are technology-adverse.

4. Landscape Lighting Services Business Card

If your electrical shop provides niche services, like installing landscaping lighting, take the opportunity to get creative with your design and showcase the look and feel of a home with exceptional landscape lighting. Make your electrical business cards really pop. Use color gradients, small thumbnail images of well-lit homes and landscapes, and a font that conveys comfort and class.

5. Eco-Friendly Electrician Business Card

Many customers today prefer to hire businesses that practice sustainability and offer eco-friendly services. If your electrical business champions green services, make sure to include the messaging on your business card and logo design. 

For instance, you can include short phrases like, “Helping homeowners transition to solar for the last 20 years,” or “We lower electric bills via energy-efficient services.” Also think about using colors and imagery that depict nature, such as green, yellow, and light brown. 

And if you want to be extra eco-friendly and cut out paper entirely, consider using Apple’s AirDrop app, which allows you to send documents, photos, websites, and more to nearby devices.

6. Referral Electrician Business Card

Looking to generate new business? Turn your electrician business card into a sales tool. With a referral business card, electrical companies include a space for a customer to write in a referral’s contact information, typically a friend, neighbor, or family member. You also want to include a space for the customer’s name, so you can reward them when a referral hires your electrical service.

To improve the chances of getting customer referrals, make sure to reward both the existing and new customer, typically by offering discounted work. 

7. Appointment Electrician Business Card

An appointment business card is a standard business card with a section for you to write in the customer’s appointment date and time. These come in handy for reminding customers of upcoming appointments, and especially for recurring services where you work in the customer’s home several times throughout the year.

What Do You Put on an Electrician Business Card?

Business owners have several options for creating electrician business cards. If you’re proficient in Photoshop, you can save money and design the card yourself. Other options include hiring a graphic designer or using design templates or a free business card maker online.

Regardless of how you design your card, include the following information.

• Company name

• Your first and last name

• Job title and licensing information

• Contact information - email, phone

• Pricing information (free estimates, military discounts, flat-rate services)

• Company logo, branding, and advertising slogans

• Social media accounts

Business cards provide a versatile tool to enhance your professional image, simplify networking, and support marketing efforts. Some of the top benefits of a business card include:
