Question

Joe Funari · Answer

@Joseph Rios As you can see from my profile pic I am too ugly. So i don't put a photo on my business cards. Thank goodness my broker feels the same way. No pics on his card I mean.....

LOL.I sold for 5 years and always had my picture on my card. It was unique in that my picture was me and my son. I wanted to "market" myself to families and those thinking of having their first child. It worked great! But I remember seeing lots of pictures on cards and meeting the realtors face to face and thinking "this person looks nothing like the picture" or "this picture must be 30 years old!"If I were to do it again I don't think I would put my picture on my card. I don't know why realtors do this. Is it vanity? Or just "tradition?"

You can always put a unique logo instead

@Joseph Rios - what would the drawback be to putting your photo on your card? Facial recognition and recall is more powerful than words.

I just got my first order of business cards and i didn't add my picture to them. I don't have a professional picture of my self yet either. Thats the reason for mine not to have my picture, but I think I'm going to add my picture next time I need to order more cards. I just didn't want to wait to get my picture taken before I got my cards.
