With full contact information, a link to their current LinkedIn profile, and a photo, plus a section for notes, business cards become searchable contacts in Evernote. Benefitting from LinkedIn’s network of more than 300 million professionals, Evernote can now automatically build a content-rich note around every business card you scan. There is an integration between Evernote and LinkedIn that enhances the way business cards are captured, displayed, and recalled in Evernote. And to take Evernote a step further, it is not just another business card scanning device. This allows you to create and find your memories on virtually any computer, web browser or mobile phone. While Evernote is immensely useful as a desktop note-taking application, its true power lies in its ability to synchronize your notes to the Evernote on the Web. That is why I want to introduce you to Evernote and then show you how Evernote and Linkedin are a business card match made in heaven! They enter information into their smart phones, computers or tablets and store that information there. They don’t keep business cards in a big fat rolodex on their desk anymore. While we know that business cards are alive and have talked about why, what we haven’t talked about is that people today are not used to storing paper. Over designing your cards will be wasteful because this is now where Evernote and Linkedin come in. Just know your brand, be consistent in designing your business cards to match your website and no need to go over the top with business cards made of wood or concrete. While people think that smart phones and Linkedin have taken the place of business cards, the physical exchange and engagement of handing out a visual representation of your brand can’t be beat. And it is vital that your business card make the right impression. And in face to face meetings such as trade shows, conferences, interviews or other gatherings, business cards are your first impression of your brand.

However, the web has changed the way we use business cards today.īusiness cards are a way to distinguish your brand.

And, more importantly, they are still relevant.
