It's not a good idea to go overboard with text--as the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words, and clients are less likely to read all of the text on your business card than they are to respond passively to a striking image.

Even people whose business doesn't directly relate to the visual arts can benefit from an image-centric strategy when designing a business card. A musician might include a photo of a performance, or a photo of a room filled with musical instruments: the perfect picture of someone who knows what he or she is doing when it comes to music. A housecleaning firm might include a photo of the business owner, or of typical workers, which gives your potential clients some idea of what the business is like: do the people look energetic? What sort of tools do they use on the job? How professional do they look?

Of course, there are some professions--writers and lawyers come to mind--who can't really communicate the nature of their business effectively with a picture. In that case, it can be a good idea to include some well-chosen text. For example, if your business has any testimonials from previous clients, awards it's won for outstanding service, or even a short description of typical business operations (i.e. "Serving Midtown Des Moines From 1979", "Provider Of Outstanding Legal Representation For Realtors And Other Businesspeople").
