A business card with your photo on it will help a new contact find you in a meeting or help to differentiate you in a group of people. If you often make initial contact with someone by phone or email, sending him or her a business card with your photo on it before you meet in person is a thoughtful gesture.
Photos add cost, not only in printing but also in having a good quality photo taken.

Many printers have the ability to print full color custom graphics and pictures on the front and back of your business cards and business post cards. Research has shown that business cards printed in four colors (full color) will attract more attention than one printed in black & white (two color).
