🚫📇😫Networking Without Cards: Socializing Struggles!

You know, I've hit up a few networking events 🥂 and let me tell you, not having a business card (virtual or old-school style) can be awkward.... think dancing with no rhythm...

Let me explain, you meet so many cool people 😎 and trying to connect with them all without sounding like that over-eager kid on the playground - "Wanna be friends? Wanna be friends?"... its kinda awkward.

So yeah, business cards definitely make life less cringe-worthy 😜 

Let me tell you how I ended up with these👇 and why

💼📲✨Virtual Business Card: Tech Founder's Choice

I'm a tech founder, so obviously I wanted a smart/virtual business card. My requirements were straightforward

• Branded sticky tap card for the back of my phone 📱✨💳

• QR code on a phone app leading to a profile page with contact info 📲🔳🔗

I looked at a couple of options and settled on Popl, the free version obviously. I designed a tap card with huddl branding 🎨.

Sure, it cost me $48 (with 1-7 day shipping), but hey, you can't put a price on coolness 😎

Printed Cards, But Smarter❓🤔

Why have a printed business card when you've got a virtual one on your phone? 🤔 Because technology can be as reliable as a startup's revenue forecast 😂📈.

Printed cards are a great backup, but rectangles are so… last decade. 😴 

I came across some square designs and thought, hey, what else is square? A QR code from Popl! 🤓 A bit of template tweaking later, and boom! Huddl cards with a QR on the back to my Popl profile. 🚀

Wrapping up 👇

The printed cards cost me $45 for 200 pieces. That’s a total of $93 with Popl, but the good news is that you can deduct* it when you file taxes, under ‘Advertising and Promotional expenses’ category 💵💵💵 *This is not financial advice

Be your own brand! No pressure to get business cards, but if you do, make sure it screams 'YOU' 🗣️👀🌟
