Bye-Bye (Physical) Business Cards

A few months ago I attended my first professional conference since pre-Covid. As I prepared, I had to dig into my memory machine to what was once second nature – what do I need to pack to take with me on the road? As I opened my old travel computer bag, I pulled out my business cards and realized that a lot of the information was no longer accurate. Uh oh! I must have business cards with me or networking will be less effective. I remembered seeing some posts about a new digital business card and got to Googling. After reading some reviews and trying a few apps, I landed on one called HiHello. What is great about a digital business card is that any time you change any piece of your contact information, you don’t waste time, money nor impact the environment creating new cards.  Besides, no one wants to sit and enter your information into their contacts. With a digital business card, a quick scan of a QR code allows your colleague an easy way to save your contact information. You can also use HiHello to scan their business card while you stand there and it automatically enters their data into your app. Cheers to saving the environment (and time!). Try mine now … scan this code:
