For what it's worth, I second the other posters wave recommended Moo. I've used them for a couple of years now, and they're absolutely fantastic.

You can order a packet of free samples- they even ship the same free, and allow you to upload your own images/artwork on them too. Can't really argue with that.

It might also be worth putting "www." before your url to make it clear to everyone that it is a url.

Lastly what I think works quite well is using a cropped image.

This way it doesn't take much space on the card, can look stylish if done right, and from an advertising perspective I'd say it can make the viewer curious to see the whole thing, thus leading them to your website.

But maybe that would work better for fashion photogs. 'Cause in that scenario I'd make sure some interesting part of the image (but not key feature, such as the whole/most of the face) is featured but you can't really make out what it is exactly. Still, something to give you ideas.

Images that are a part of the card's composition also work well, such as:



In general I'd prefer to have an image on the card, but of course that's down to how eye-catching your shots are.

And on an ever-so-slightly-off-topic-note, how cool is that?

I think I would include some image(s) as this is what you are selling. This may be your only chance to grab your potential clients attention.

Pretty damn cool, I'd say. Die-cutting costs are probably a #$%^!, though.
