Gmail
You know that little icon next to your email? Have you ever seen someone else’s picture next to their email? Your image can go there.
Google Business
If you register your business on Google Business, you have the opportunity to add you profile shot, and images of your team, onto your Google Business Profile.
Social Media
Facebook and Instagram are two big social media platforms that clients use to search business. Everyone loves a Facebook stalk, and people like to look at what you’re doing before interacting with you. Having your headshot here is another opportunity to connect to your clients.
LinkedIn is the social media for professionals. The first thing people see is your profile photo. It is the key for solid connections and looking serious.
Your Website
Be recognisable! Make sure you have an about or a team page. Even a bit of company background can look more complete with images of the team members.
If you’re on Twitter then use your headshot! Don’t be tweeting things with a ‘nothing’ image next to. Be a personality and not just a business.
Marketing Material
If you have business cards, send out flyers, create PDFs and EDM emails, or even blog online. A headshot can be used on some or all of this type of marketing material.
Posters/Billboards
For those in fields like Real Estate and government, your image can very easily be put onto billboards and posters. Make sure you have one, and make sure it is professional.
