Headshot Uses

Businesses have many uses for quality, professional headshots and in today’s fast-paced business environment, it’s good to be prepared with needed headshots BEFORE important opportunities are missed.

The company website almost always has photos of some of the executive management team, somewhere in the site. It’s beneficial to have up to date executive portraits of the current management team. Over the years, management will change. New people will come and others will leave the company. When a new person comes aboard, maybe that’s an opportunity to update all the other executive headshots for the organization, especially for the people that really didn’t like their current photos.

Brochures, newsletters and other marketing materials all need fresh new content and often times these print materials talk about various executives and employees of the company. Why not have photos on file to use when you need them? What about when you have a press release or you need a photo for the company newsletter? You can ALWAYS use a fresh new headshot of your company’s executives and often times it comes in handy to have photos of the middle management as well.

Social media has changes the way we live and work. Gone are the days of the old marketing methods and now we have a new day where in order to find new customers, a company needs to be heavily involved with social media marketing. And if you know anything about social media marketing, you understand that it has a ravenous hunger for content. Content is what makes up all those blog posts, those tweets, and mass emails and all those things require photography, and often times photography of the employees of the business.

LinkedIn is a business-to-business social media site where business people get together to network. Having a high-quality professional headshot is important in branding the individual and the individual’s company, by association. Many companies actually supply headshot to their employees so that their social media profile pictures will represent the company in a consistent and branded manner. The company’s photos portray the company’s image and branding. Do you want your company represented by photos that the secretary took with her phone? Probably not…
