I run a small business and do a lot of networking and I’ve noticed that people aren’t really handing out business cards anymore. Do you still use them?

      Did the QR go to their website or did it have their vcard on it? I do the latter, and the former annoys the hell out of me, because it’s way harder to type a bunch of contact info than to type a fckin URL.

      Also yes, this means I have business cards. I don’t use them much but they’re handy for leaving with other business owners in case they want to contact me (hopefully, to order!).

        I’m gonna be honest, I have no clue, I didn’t scan it. Not because it wasn’t interesting or anything like that, but because making deals isn’t my job. I got it because it (sort of) used to be mine, but since it isn’t anymore I passed the card on to the person whose job it now is haha

        Por que no los dos?

        Business cards should have QR codes for both the website and the contact info. And they should be labelled.

          My logic is:

          a.) Two QR codes could confuse some scanners… or some people

          b.) In the vast majority of cases, it’s faster to type the URL than it is to scan a QR code to go there.

          But sure, there’s no reason you can’t do both! And if you do, they should definitely be labelled. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk 😅
