The Fine Art of Business Cards

Youtube disclaimers make me laugh. They always say things like, “This really sux, but I worked hard making it. No bad comments.”

So here is my first vlog. It really sux, but I worked hard making it. Say whatever you like about it. In the spirit of my last post, I am just doing it, and they will get better. Really.

One real estate agent, Judy Madonna Moriarty, said it very well. She felt that not using her photo didn’t dilute her branding. Photos, she pointed out, are often glamour shots or pictures that are hopelessly dated. If your license picture looks more like you than your business card photo does, think about a change. She also pointed out that nearly every other professional does not add a photo to their card- why should real estate agents?

There you go. There were as many ideas about how a card should look as there were people- and that’s great. A card, really, should be an extension of your personality- as much as is your blog, as much as are your facebook and twitter interactions. They are all the same little squares of stiff paper, but isn’t it better to make those cards work as a canvas for you? Think about it- the same canvas that supported Starry Night also gave us Nighthawks, and these paintings tell us less about the night than they tell us about the artist.
