My Life is More than Business with My Photo Contact Card from MyPersonalCard.com

New product introduced by MyPersonalCard.com. The product is a personal photo contact card which is a new solution for people who want to establish better personal relationships. The cards are the same size as a business card and they are customized with a person's photo, name, phone number, email address, a custom comment of interest, and some graphic icons selected to highlight personal interests. When a business card is not the best solution or when one does not have a business card, a personal photo contact card can offer a solution for making new friends.

When someone is meeting people in a leisure environment one's business may have no relationship to the encounter. Therefore, leaving a business card is not always the best contact information one wants to leave when making a personal contact. Also, a standard business card may leave too much information where one does not want to be contacted at their work. A representative of MyPersonaCard.com decribes an example of using a personal photo contact card: "You are talking to another parent at a Little League game and you give your Personal Photo Card to the other parent. Your personal interest comment on your card says 'I'd rather go sailing'. When the other person sees this comment you find out they love to sail too. They mention they will use the card to contact you and try to plan a time to go sailing together. Your personal photo card just helped you make a sailing buddy you may enjoy for the rest of your life. If you would have handed out your business card you would not have made the connection. Personal photo contact cards allow you to leave personal contact information for friends, club groups, neighbors, and those folks you want to have a separate connection from your business work environment. You can keep your business and pleasure connections seperate."... (Continue reading)
