Why You Need a Professional Headshot

Today’s world is a media-driven marketplace. Snap decisions are made from the images we see on websites and social media. As business professionals, we no longer have the opportunity to make that great first impression in-person. We now make it online and at essentially anytime someone is browsing the web.

The new world in which we live makes a good headshot not just a luxury but an essential. Having a selfie or your friend take a shot of you simply won’t do. You need a professional headshot you can be proud to share with the world.

Professional headshots are an important marketing tool for many reasons including:

– Professional headshots are often the first “peek” your customers have into who you are.
– Professional headshots show others that you care about how you present yourself to the world.
– Professional headshots create a quality photo you can use on many sites including your website and social media profiles.

Tips for taking a great professional headshot

– Your professional headshot should look like “you”. It should capture the essence of who you are and reflect what people can expect when they meet you.
– Make sure your photo works with your brand and image. Does it fit with the message you are sending with the rest of your marketing materials?
– Keep your clothing and accessories neutral. Choosing trendy pieces can make the photo seem dated in a shorter period of time. Unless you are in the creative arena, a timeless photo is best.
– Getting family pictures taken? This presents a great opportunity for you to easily fit in some headshots. Check with your photographer beforehand but most are more than willing to capture a view solo scenes.

It’s time to take your business to the next level with a great professional headshot. This small investment can reap big rewards when it comes to how you present yourself (and your business) to the rest of the world. Another way to keep your brand on top is by choosing the right marketing strategies to meet your needs. A professional firm such as Grand Marketing Solutions can help propel your company forward with a smart approach for reaching your business goals.

    Grand Marketing Solutions has been very effective for us. They are the right size firm with the right mix of talents. They spruced up our logo, redesigned our web site, printed new literature, and worked smoothly with our people.
    - Bill
    Before starting Business Image Magazine, I met with dozens of graphic designers/printers and worked with a couple before I met Karl Hofmeier of Grand Marketing Solutions. I heard Karl speak at a networking event and was impressed with his expertise. Since then, Grand Marketing Solutions has become my one stop shop for marketing advice, graphic design, printing, website design and maintenance. The service is second to none and I am happy to refer all my clients and prospects to him.

    We are proud to be partners with GMS. As an entrepreneur and small business owner, I value a relationship with a partner who is cut from the same mold. Grand Marketing Solutions understands what it takes to keep our company competitive in a ever changing market. They ask the right questions and treat our business as it was their own. With Grand Marketing Solutions as our partner we can focus on our core business while they execute on our marketing strategy. We've been with a handful of marketing firms over the years. Some were large, some were small, but none of them have had the impact that Grand Marketing Solutions has.
