Business Card Advice

[rousemark]

People are odd at times. There may be something that they do not like about your looks. Happens to me all the time .

Could be the bulbous red nose that comes from drinking all that wine..

I am in the no picture camp.

Those of us who know what you look like understand your feeling about a picture on a card.

If you use a picture on the card does it have to be of yourself or does anybody count ???

It's a business card. Not a resume. I think you're working too hard on this maybe? But..no pic. That's old school and kinda hoakie. But...you HAVE TO put an address on there. Not having ALL of your contact info on your biz card is a huge red flag to consumers. Go with the PO Box if you're not comfortable with your home address but if it means anything, when I worked from home and my agents would ask me, we always just used our home address? In all my years in this, I've NEVER nor has any of my agents(or at least never told me) had any issue(s) with having your home address on our cards.

And, I LOVE Vistaprint. In fact, I'm addicted to them. I think we are purchasing stuff from them every week. My wife tells me we keep them in business. If you search, you'll easily find a promo for them for free biz cards. 250 of them. Pay shipping which is like $5? Takes 10 mins to design unless you really take your time looking for your design. Once you start to purchase from them, they email you everyday(a bit much but hey) BUT, most every email has free stuff. Again, you just pay for shipping. Upgrades cost a little more but my point to all of this is we always buy pens, mugs, shirts even...anything they offer "free" just shipping, we get. GREAT to hand out to clients or mail to them with our welcome and confirmation packet or give to agents etc... EASY AND CHEAP BRANDING!!!

I have my picture on my cards in the front.. And a map of my office on the back.

Is your office really so large it requires its own map? Does having to use a map to get around your office impress your clients.....Copier is in that room and the free coffee is that way....

I'm just messing with you the map to your office isn't a bad idea...I went with the appointment reminder on the back of my card last time and won't do it again because people don't really use it and I would rather have either the back clean for jogging a note and handing to the client or maybe for products I offer.

Thanks for the input. A little surprised the photo is not high on the list. I guess the main thing is to be able to leave a professional impression.

If you are a good looking gal the photo rates higher.

I almost posted the exact same thing....X marks the spot to buy insurance.

I may be wrong, but I think that my state, (NJ), requires your address on all letterheads & cards. I'd check it out before you finalize it.
