Why not try adding a photo to your business card?

Dear Lisa,
I read about you on Oprah.com. Years ago I saw a business card of a costume designer that had a picture on it of her playing dress up when she was only about 4 years old. It was a great card! I took her idea and used my first grade picture–vintage 1960. It’s a typical black & white school photo with bad haircut and a face with a bad attitude. People always laugh when they see my business card and remember me. It’s a good conversation starter and ice breaker because everyone remembers their old school photos.

Dear V.,
You’re right! A photo on a business card makes it much more memorable–adds a face to a name, and you know that a picture is worth a thousand words. I’ll bet you’re in a creative field, correct? Those who are in corporate positions might have to be a little more formal, but to the ones with more flexible positions, I say let your inner child out!
Thanks for the tip — I’ll pass it along.
Lisa
