This business card below is very engaging because it makes use of an old school photo giving the essence that this writer has classic writing skills and is a true professional. The graph paper background adds a whimsical touch and then I like that they include a positioning statement about the business itself. It makes it feel a little more like an ad. Obviously, it is perfect for a writer, but you could sub out the photo for a hammer and make it for a contractor, or electrical wires and make it for an electrician.
This business card below is fun, because anytime you use homey graphics like this and a familiar school house type font, you create a certain amount of comfort in the viewer. The customer might look at this business card and feel this is a builder they can trust. But you could also use this card for a house cleaning service or lawn care business as well.
Right away I know what this business is for the card below, before I even read it. Framing the business name with traditional imagery that has represented the business for decades, and again using a retro font, makes you take notice. You could sub out the barber poles for symbolism of another type of classic profession, like a plumber, lawyer, leather crafter, etc.
If you have a fun product, the card should be fun. This card for a cupcake bakery makes use of colorful sprinkles to grab attention.

There is something about a tone on tone, monochromatic business cards that really gets attention. This design below features a simple line graphic, the business name and a clear positioning statement.
This is another black and white, minimalist design, and it suits the nature of this music studio business because it is clean and elegant. But another advantage to a black and white business card design is that your cards will be significantly cheaper to print. You could even print yourself.
It is important to think of your target market when designing your cards. This business card design below features a floral water-colour design for a wedding specialist. Obviously the target audience is women, so this card’s pretty design will definitely get noticed by them. The use of the rings is also a good idea, to quickly convey what the business is about. But this design could also be used for an artist or florist.
What I like about this free business card template, is that all of the key information is on the front. You could duplicate this on the back as well, so whatever side appears always has your info, and no one has to turn it over. Related Content: Try This Trick to Find a New Business Idea.
Here is another type of photo business card, but this time the photo has to do with what the business is selling. This sort of design has more of an Instagram overlay feel, making it right on trend.

Sometimes cute works, as in this card for a dental center below. If the dental centre was specifically for children, this card design would be even more appropriate, with a smiling tooth that makes the dentist seem less scary. The bright blue color even has a nursery-type feel.
This simplistic card below is one color, and the benefit of this is that one color business cards are much less expensive to print.

This is a well designed card, because it takes a classic symbol but only shows part of it, making more of an impact. The color combination is eye-catching as well. This is a great card for a yoga studio, herbalist, and meditation studio.
