Putting your photo on business card. Good idea?

I’m currently watching an interesting discussion on Business of Software forum.

The topic is about if having your personal photo on your business card is a good idea or not. It’s like everything in business – you don’t know the right answer until you try it yourself. There are cons and pros.

Advantages:

  • Breaking standards
  • Easier to recall what the discussion was about
  • Easier to recall who was that person
  • Personal photo causes a feeling of trust and openness

Disadvantages

  • Breaking standards
  • May look vain
  • May look geeky or amateurish

However, most of the discussion participants are inclined to believe that this may be a worthwhile idea. Also, they give other practical advice of effective business card usage. Check it out

BTW, do you know that you may create virtual 3D business cards with TBS Cover Editor like the sample below?
