I still love traditional business cards. It’s so uncommon now, that Zoomers find it a novelty and I immediately come across as ancient (although I’m a Millennial).
The cost is so minuscule, I use them almost like post-it notes, writing stuff down on the back for people I meet.
I’m sure they mostly end up in the trash, but it does beat handing someone a post-it note with my email on it.

- chiefalchemist 4y agoTo your point, yes they are easy to dismiss. Until that one time you bump into someone of substance and don't have anything to hand them. Biz cards are now a differentiator. For the cost, they're a no brainer.
- Spivak 4y ago> but it does beat handing someone a post-it note with my email on it When does this ever come up? I have never once in my life ever felt the need to copy down a printed email, url, or phone number. If you're a company rep, you have a website I'll just Google, if you're a person you have social media or I just hand you my phone to enter your phone number.
- Robotbeat 4y agoSo if you’re good at remembering names, that’s good. If you want to pull your phone out and mess with it for half a minute (versus 3 seconds to pocket a card), then sure. For me, that’s usually a no on both, and I think others are similar.
