Twitter ID on Individual Business Card

I’m sure all of us know how powerful individual business cards are. The moment you give out one, it means that you’ve gained a potential business connection.

People who are looking for intelligence do not only look at education and experience anymore. As there are more competitors in the field who have similar qualification, how can you stand out? You show them your personality before they get to know you!

By putting Twitter ID on your card, people who are interested would most probably check out what you’ve been doing in your own time, your enthusiasm for your field, what you like to talk about, and what kind of connections you have. That would give them a “second impression” of who you are.

If you are constantly looking for new opportunities and challenges in your field, it is a good idea to market yourself by including Twitter ID on your card.

    Phillipe, thank you so much for the info and the tweet. I can't believe I didn't think/ know about QR code on business cards.
  • Tim, sure your QR code can contain everything a V-card contains. Nokia has some links on their website that allow you to experiment with making your own QR code, including full contact info

    BTW : I have no "ties" to nokia, other than the fact that I use their "blackberry clone" E71.

    Thanks Philippe. Wow I've never thought about QR code on cards. Can the code also add the contact info directly to the phone?
  • Great idea Tim Ho, we'll be adding that type of information on our new business cards, and probably also in a QR-code so you can just scan it with your mobile and check it online immediately.
