Pretty in Anything: The Professional Model’s Business Card

Envied and detested, beautiful and eccentric, the professional model has a hard role to fill. From go-sees and photo shoots to catwalks and catalog work, the model is a versatile, hardworking professional. The model’s business card should show diversity, experience and confidence.

The amount and type of information on a model’s business card is key to branding success. Be sure to include the model’s cell phone number, e-mail address, agency name and number as well as the name and contact information for any publicist or agent. Consider a two sided or fold over business card to ensure enough room for all the pertinent information without crowding the card.

A head shot is the only real option for the professional model’s business card. Use a copy of your current head shot and upload to the printer’s website. Consider getting a thousand business cards with four different photographs. Just order in lots of 250 and upload a different head shot each time. This is great if you get stuck with only your business cards and a potential client. Just give them all four business cards to show your range.

When it comes to style and design for the professional model’s business card less is definitely more. The star of the show on this card is the model so clean lines and neutral background tones is the best way to compliment the model’s natural beauty. A thick cut white or cream card with engraved printing is classy and cool.

Always carry the model’s business card with you when meeting with potential employers. Clip a card to resumes and head shots. Use a portfolio folder that has a pocket on the inside front for business cards. Selling yourself and the garments of others is the job of the professional model. A business card lets clients know that you have a business mind behind that pretty face.
