A general or corporate-style business card can be used for practically any type of business, from a daycare to a freelance writer. These will often have a generic design not identified with any type of business or activity. Wavy lines, boxes, geometric shapes or other graphics add interest. Sometimes, the plain business card with nothing on it except for the typed information can be elegant and simple.

If your business has a logo and tag line, these should definitely be on your business card. It will be an important part of building your brand image.

Let your type of business and your personal style guide you in the selection of your business card. A freelance writing business might use graphics such as a feather quill, a typewriter, a computer, laptop, keyboard, a scroll or pencils. The architect may want to use a blueprint graphic, a building, or just a personal photo. Real estate agents usually put a personal photo on their cards, along with a tag line. Building companies often use graphics or photos of the type of construction they do – residential homes, commercial buildings, decks, carports, cabinets, additions or furniture.
