Is that Really You?

By
Real Estate Agent with Celtic Realty

That's a question I had to ask myself when I exchanged business cards with another associate the other day.  The picture on her business card was about twenty years back and didn't even resemble the person standing in front of me.  While that marketing tactic may be good for those who never meet her, but for meeting folks, it sure gives a false impression.  My picture isn't on my business cards, but it is on my web cite and here on the Rain and the picture was taken within the last year.  How do you tell somone that it's just not good taste to picture yourself twenty years back, when they had hair, before they wore glasses?

I have seen great pictures on the Rain.  I love the pictures of guys bouncing their children in the air and even the pictures of folks with their pets!   I sure like the pictures of some the realtors looking casual and being themselves.  Sure nice to see some of the creativity among your pictures too.
