This was a great exchange between connector Eric Cole and Katy Sooter at Bliss Salon. It was an innocent enough question: When you feel it’s time to change your profile pic, how often do you put any thought into it? And when you do, are you making the right choices? Katy passed on some advice from behind the chair:

We all know how important first impressions are and how difficult it is to change a person perception once that impression is made. The new world of Social Media has cut out personal contact eliminating the opportunity to read body language or see how a person physically presents themselves. All we have to analyze a person is some typed words with very little if any emotion attached… Or is it?
First impressions are based mainly on image, how you are put together, and how one interacts or responds to others. In the world of social media the image part comes from your profile picture. When choosing a picture for a business profile you must take into consideration what your want your image to say about you. Once you have decided what you want your image to portray to your profile visitors it’s time to create a “look” to match. When I say “look” I don’t just mean what cloths you wear, I am talking about the entire appearance from wardrobe to hairstyle.
For example two gentlemen wear the same suit only one has a short crew haircut while the other wears a slightly longer more modern style. Or two women wear the same dress yet one has a sleek short bob with bangs while the other has long wavy hair with long layers. In both examples each person is presenting themselves very differently simply by the type of hairstyle they choose.
I would encourage you when you think about your next picture for your business profile think of what kind of message you want your image to convey about you. Choose a hairstyle and attire that not only represents who you are, but that enhances one another so that not only do you know what kind of first impression you are sending to the social media world, but you’ve created it on purpose!
