Apple took out a full page ad in today’s paper to promote a number of their iPhone apps that are good for business. One application stood out to me, and it could save you a whopping amount in printing.
Possible Scenario at your next meeting:
PROSPECT: “Do you have a business card?” YOU: “Sure.”
Then…
- You produce a card (or something glamorous made from long-lasting plastic, platinum etc. with all your details – including your Twitter handle!)
- Your contact takes a photo of it with their iPhone (what else would you use, really?).
- Your details are now in their phone.
No paper, no waste. The Business Card Reader allows you to take the photo of a business card on your iPhone (or Blackberry). It then ‘reads’ the data and enters the details into your address book. So, no scanning, data entry, or piles of business cards stashed in drawers. Now all you need is one business card and friends and colleagues with iPhones. ;-) I’ll be getting the app. Suzi
