Business Cards

I was thinking the other day about business cards and all the different ways we view them. You see, I was basically chastised by a number of real estate agents the other day because my card didn't "fit the mold" of what a Real estate Agent Card should be... in their opinion.

 

I was told it should be in color, be branded, and have my handsome face on it. (No, really, they said handsome... ok, no they didn't I just added that for an ego boost.)

 

So how should our cards look?

How do people really view them?

What's really the point of our business cards?

What should be included on our business card?

There are so many questions! But, what is the answer?

 

My brother sent me this video the other day and I think it might sum up how we are with our cards.

 

 

 

 

Yes, I know I am making fun of our profession (just a little) but sometimes we just take ourselves and our cards WAY to seriously!

 

Don't forget... I have made fun of us before: Real Estate Agents and Thier Cars: What Should We Drive?
