Truth in Advertising means business cards, too!
Truth in Advertising means business cards, too!
O.K. I dropped by me office yesterday to pick up my new business cards that had come in. They look like the one above. I'm not liking 'em all that much 'cause I'm not cute or anything and would rather remove the photo in favor of more "white space" and a bigger tag line, but I digress....
For the good or bad of it, though, I do resemble the photo on the card. That puts me in rare company these days- judging from some of the whacked-out business card folks/actual folks combos I've seen. Heck, I think some folks are guilty of false advertising!
Head shots become business card photos- so that's where the problems begin. And folks, you know how old your head shots and business card photos are! Hints: if your business card shot was taken with a Polaroid, it's time to get another one. If your business card shot is anything close to a "Glamour Shot" or has you wearing any kind of feathery boa thing, it's time to update that bad boy- it's the least you can do for the public, you know.
Gotten older since your current business card photo was taken- and you look older, too? Get that bad boy fixed! You know you don't want to show up to meet another agent whose seen your blog or website and have 'em ask if your "daughter" is going to make it to the showing, too! Aging is a normal part of life- embrace it, don't hide it!
One can only pray the folks above have made a little trip to the ol' photographer and replaced these things above. This guy and his porn star 'stache might have sold a house or two back in the days of Dan Tanna, Sanford and Son and the Solid Gold Dancers, but it's not gonna fly today, "Robby"!
And finally... if you're a woman (a real woman) with make-up that reminds folks of Twisted Sister and other "hair bands" from the '80s...yup, time to get that bad boy replaced, too, "Elaine".
Today's public service....done.
