Always did.  I like picture cards.  It helps me remember the face behind the name.  I assume others might feel the same.  

Yes, I do. I work with a lot of relocating people and having my picture on everything makes it easy for them to recognize me when we meet and they feel like they know me better, as well.

Yes, I want people to recognize me.

I have gone both ways. Currently I do. Most of the agents in my brokerage do as well.

Yes I do. I like your pic & I can see turning it into a pretty cool card.

I always have to have the RM balloon floating/stalking over my shoulder.

Yes, I am a brand and it shows you who I am.

I do Hella but I hear that it might not be a good idea. Studies show that some people will not like the way the person looks and pre-judge by looks, (So sad).

I have had mine on my cards for years and find it works for me.

In the beginning I did not use a photo then decided to add one. One day I was going through piles of business cards that I had received over the years and realized that I did not remember many of those who did not have a pic on their card so decided to add a pic.

I found that the photo helps people remember you so they held on to the cards so have used one ever since.

In my opinion it was a waste of space. We don't give out that mnay cards anymore.

Yes I do, on one of 2 versions. The photo is pretty small. I've been thinking of some changes, including the photo

No, I do not and Sotheby's does not permit it.  It is interesting to hear how many clients say how pleased they are to NOT see a photo on my cards or signs and what they think of those that do.  People are very judgmental and I cringe to hear them criticizing certain signs, etc

Sure do...so that is why no one is calling me?

Yes I do - I have my picture on all my marketing - when I go to the supermarket or other brokerages I an always recognized

no

My picture is on the card and people have come to recognize me from it. I also like getting cards with pictures, that way I can put a face to the name!

No,  I don't like it.  A

I always had my photo till recently, since I changed my hair color and cut ( again). 

Aleays have, and always will.  There is just something about putting a face to a name.

Yes I do and on my for sale signs.

Hella M. Rothwell, Broker/Realtor® Yes, I do.

Yes Hella M. Rothwell, Broker/Realtor® on the left side of the card.  It measures approx 1.25" x 1."  I think your photo looks great.

Yes, I use my photo. I want people to remember me!

 I'd love to see your card.... post it here and I'll stop back to see it... I'd love to do a card like that.... please post it .... AND send one to me.... PLEASE.

Hella M. Rothwell, Broker/Realtor® 

Yes ma'am I always have. 

I'm surprised that so many have answered they do not. Here, it's very common to include it, and we always have!

On some cards.

I have a photo of me and my wife on the card.  We are one of the very few professions that utilize a photo.  It is great in making the experience more personable to the clients and potential clients.

Hella M. Rothwell, Broker/Realtor® - I do have it!

And I do have a good background, too.

Yes. It shows me at the helm of my boat with the caption, "Keeping your transaction on course!" Some colleagues, clients and prospects give me luke-warm answers when I ask them if they like it. Others think it's quite creative. However, almost all who see the card remember me when I contact them again after a time lapse.

No.  

Not anymore...

yes....not this one

No, not any longer.

Absolutely!

In our industry this would likely be seen as pretentious

I do not. I have not used a photo is many years. 

I kind of thought that no photo was best, but a few people told me that having the photo there helps people remember who I am.  

I think as a real estate agent, that is really a key thing.  You want your card to represent you as a person a little.  If that is you holding your cat, your bike, or a sold sign.  

I have a little rock and dirt on my photos.  I live in a beautiful area and love hiking, camping, rock climbing, and the outdoors in St. George Utah.  When people see my online images, they tend to remember that.  

They may not rememeber what business I am in, what I do, or what I am selling, but I would rather them think of me as a person than as a business. 

Mine don't have my photo on them.

Yes.

     I always have, but I am getting ready to order new B-cards, and am thinking about no photo.  Looking forward to the answers to your question!

I always have but I always wanted not to for reasons unclear even to me. I think I would prefer to not have a picture but I'm swayed by the argument that it helps me be remembered among the thousands of agents who work near me.

I have my phone on there,  it maybe scare people away.

\

Yes. I've always had my photo on my real estate business card. Even when folks can't remember my name, they remember me and that I'm in RE. It's helpful.

Always, photo on my business card, email, website,  marketing materials. I don't like being a secret agent. 

I do have my picture on my card. 

I have two different cards, one with and one without.

I have always had a photo and find that it helps folks with that sense of familiarity that they may need to pick up the phone.  

I do not.  That way my card is "timeless". 

Yes I do and always have.

Yes.

Not currently.  I'm glad your new business card is getting a positive response.  

Its always a good subject. I do not. I took that coveted space & used it wisely

I do not at this time

Yes

I do on my real estate cards, but not on my consulting cards

No, never have. Arguments on both sides of the aisle.

yes

Good morning Hella,

You have a great picture and it should be displayed all over. My first business cards had my photo, I don;t believe it had a better impact. Now I use my logo and I want customers to recognize the company.

YES as it helps people remember you

I have business cards with and without my photo.

Those I meet in person get the card with the image.

Those who are met via correspondence have the opportunity to image the image associated with the words.

Here on AR you get both!

PS: I almost forget...."GROAN, not another picture question!"
