10 Tips to Make the Most out of

Your Business Card Photo

1. Show a friendly face and a good smile. Don’t worry about your wrinkles!

2. Do not wear accessories like sunglasses or hats.

3. No pets or kids in the photo. This is an unbreakable rule if you want to look professional!

4. Hire a professional photographer to do the job.

5. Use a headshot only. Do not take a full body photo unless you are in the fitness or fashion industry.

6. Use a small area for your photo.

7. Do not print it on an everyday desktop printer. Your photo will look cheap and unprofessional.

8. Do not present a business card with a dated headshot that looks nothing like you.

9. Try to use the same photo you have on your social media profiles, especially LinkedIn.

10. You do not need to a have real photo; you can use a drawing or a caricature.
