You have now Eight, Blinq, HiHello, Knowee and else. Digital business cards are handy, easy to make and available with a variety of fascinating templates. I’ve seem them in use at social networking events. I am not making fun of Japanese businesses in contrast but at expos in Japan, I saw a majority of visitors and presenters still depend on business cards in print. I brought mine with me, a simple one with my name, a business logo and contact details. It has no additional information. Maybe little boring.
Some of my colleagues have 2-3 different kinds of business cards and use either of them for different purposes. I didn’t find it necessary when I heard it for the first time but now I understand the point: memorable information depends on people and their needs. Those cards that include what you can do and/or what you are specialized in would be a good topic for (or would be easy to have an extended) conversation when you visit expos and meet people.
I’ve got some homework for next occasions to visit expos: make another design of business card for those self-marketing purposes.
Digital or in print: whichever it is, what kind of style/information does your business card include? And why?
