Business Card - Your Picture or Not?

by KristieDean
8 replies
I am a public speaker, success coach, and author. I've finally decided to order business cards, and I wanted to get your opinion - should I put my picture on the card or not? I did a search, but did not find any posts on this, although I'm sure it's been addressed before.
Thanks!
Kristie

    You would be crazy not to put that smile on a business card!

    Hi Kristie,

    In your case, Yes! You are selling yourself. You are part of this brand. People want an identity to associate with.

    For you, yes. For an ugly mug like me, no.

    I've noticed that in business these days there are a lot of attractive women that do put their pic on their business cards. I'm talking about insurance marketing so we work with a lot of insurance agents.

    I know that if I was flipping through a pile of business cards one with a nice face pic would stand out and make me stop. People will also remember a face before a name.

    I have used pics on my business cards since around 2003 and it works amazing! But I use a family pic, me, the wife, and our kids. I use it as a way t share pics of my family or kids. Everyone says they love the pic and ask if they can keep my card. Talk about viral.

    I think a picture is good because it helps people remember who you are and puts a friendly and personal touch to business.
