My good buddy and #625 friend, Eric Michael posted a blog today about the age old question...
Do you have a photo on your business card or not?
I realize this is a matter of choice, not a requirement. But for a real estate broker that does networking (and soon to be more of it) when you meet 4,8, 10 people at an event, when you get home it's really hard to remember what Sally or John looked like.
But if their card had a picture, it would be a no brainer, right? To my knowledge, maybe the exception being people in cosmetic sales, real estate people (or our overall industry to include mortgage people) are the only ones that put their pictures on their cards.
And I'm all for it! Chalk it up to age, or whatever, but I can't remember people like I use to. But I do swear that if I have a card with a picture, first, I tend to keep them even when they have been entered in my database, and I remember the name and face better.
But, it's a personal preference. I just ordered 1000 of my new business cards. With my picture on them.
I hope to use them up quickly. I don't have a glamour shot, just the real me, shot by my graphic artist who designed my new cards. Maybe it will be incentive to make sure I still look the same in a couple years if I have NOT used all of them.
But, I've certainly gotten rave reviews on my new cards. And one think I kind of like....you almost DON'T know I sell real estate. I'm hoping it brings more people to my site!
