You’re working a wedding and the bride’s cousin comes up to you and asks if you have a card. Do you? If not, or if your existing card is in serious need of an overhaul, keep reading for some critical photography business card design tips.

Ideas for Freelance Photography Business Cards

Consider ordering specific cards for specific industries

With cheap business cards starting at just over $20 for 250 cards, there’s no reason you can’t have a separate card for every industry. For example, instead of trying to cram the fact that you do weddings, babies AND bar mitzvahs into every one of your photography business card ideas, just make several sets of cards – one for each niche.

Of course, feel free to include a line telling potential clients that you also have the experience to handle other events (like bar mitzvahs and babies), but now you can make one set of wedding-themed cards, another set of baby-themed ones and so on.

Showcase your work on each and every card

Here at UPrinting, we offer offset color printing as part of every business card package and it’s available on both sides. As a photographer, you should be taking advantage of this because now is the time to be showcasing your work.

Use the back of your card to include one or two of your favorite images, something that reaches out and holds a prospective client’s attention. Then, of course, include a link to your full online portfolio.

Project your style

Your professional business cards are an extension of you and your brand as a photographer, so do your best to make sure that their style and look reflect that. Any photography business card ideas that you use need to be reflective of your style as a photographer, otherwise you could end up either attracting clients who don’t mesh or turning away those who do.
