How to get your comp cards, also known as composite cards, ready for modeling agencies
A comp card (or composite card) is what the modeling agency will use to market you. A comp card provides a small collection of pictures and basic stats about a model on card stock or rigid paper. Modeling agencies often put comp cards in their display racks. This makes it easy for a client to go into a modeling agency and quickly scan their talent pool. They are sent to everyone in the modeling industry and you leave them behind like business cards during modeling auditions, or go sees, to help remember you.
