I am a huge believer in pictures. I can guarantee that if you have a real estate agent they have their picture on their card. The picture helps with the trust factor and this is the largest purchase you will ever make so trust is critical.

Pictures of the family always makes your primary customer (women) feel better about your company. We all root for the small guy (if you don't believe me go review the infamous 1200 thread) and a picture of the family may be the difference between your company and a large franchise.

Some of the best pictures are pictures of your child wearing the company uniform and baseball cap using a stair tool for cleaning. The best marketing is always emotional.

Remember we buy on emotions and justify with logic.

I disagree. I always wondered what marketing guru possessed all the realtors into believing that they have to have glam shots on their cards. I don't wanna see your fake, made-up ass, I want you to sell my house. Put your sales percentages on there instead!

Family pics.....what if it's not a "traditional" white family with 1.4 white kids? What if you have a goth teen, what if you are minority? What if you have a mixed race family? What if you're all overweight, what if your family is gay or lesbian? It's not up to you to put yourself and especially your family up there to be pre-judged by the public. Put your good reviews and tell/show them what you can do....forget the pics. Personal pics turn me off in ads quicker than anything.

Take care,
Lisa

Evidently, according to Bill, you're the classic case of the "reverse emotional" decision maker.

As such, bill will hit you with double negative emotional pictures, which of course will make it into a positive- Kaboom!

Just- Don't listen to marketing guys who are really good at what they do.
Cause, if they are, man, they can practically sell you anything.
And if they're not. Why bother?

Is that better? :winky:

He's kinda "mean muggin'"! Great pic, I'll have to think about that one. My wife created our picture today, she's way better than me at this kind of thing....hates cleaning pee and poop out of carpet though ;-)

If I sound like a too proud grandpa, forgive me, but we have some exoticly beautiful grandchildren. Thus I'd hesitate to put their pix on the 'net.
