QR codes are all the rage now and make it easy for folks to get to your website on their mobile devices. It is a good idea to include them in your print ad. They do you no good in your web ad since the person is already viewing it on their mobile device or computer. Use that space in your web ad for a bit more info or eye catching image. Remember your ad is going to link to your website if you have provided it.
If you want to use your business card as your ad go with either the Quarter Page Horizontal or Vertical ad size. Portrait cards fit perfectly in the vertical ad space since it matches the 2" X 3.5" requirement. A landscape fits within the horizontal ad space of 4.5" X 2" with an extra 1" X 2" of space. You are welcome to fill that space with something like a QR code or additional image or text.
