How To Stand Out In A Wallet Full of Business Cards

Networking has become the single most important way to find a job coming out of college. I know, I am in that position right now. But how do you create a lasting impression once you have traded contact information with yet another rectangular piece of paper? I feel like I always come away from events with a wallet full of business cards but never any real network connections. So what would make that scenario better? What about technology? Isn’t that the answer to every question nowadays?

Correct! Introducing Moo Business+ cards, the future of business cards. Not only does Moo create stunning looking cards, they have incorporated technology into them. Using Near Field Communication or NFC, (the same technology that allows you to check out with Apple or Samsung Pay) Moo has added the feature that has long alluded traditional business cards, interaction. You see, with a simple NFC sticker integrated into the center of a Moo Business+ card, you are able to customize information that will be available to who ever taps their phone to the card. Near Field Communication works like a mini computer by transferring small amounts of data to a phone (only Samsung at this point) once the card comes within a few inches of the phone. There are really endless possibilities for this experience, add your personal website to display your portfolio, connect effortlessly on LinkedIn, or just swap contact details instantly.

This technology might not be new, in fact it has been around since the mid 2000s but until Apple and Samsung made it popular with mobile payments, it has just started to be used to its full potential. Carrying around small computers is a huge luxury but really incorporating them flawlessly into our lives has proven to be more of a burden. With Moo Business+ the opportunity to really stand out to a potential employer or contact is yours for the taking. Just think about the lasting impression that you can make when a contact can’t put your business card down.
