Business card: Alternatives to the traditional
Moving Beyond the Traditional Business Card
In an era where sustainability and digital connectivity are more important than ever, we decided to rethink the way we share our contact details. Like many businesses, we initially relied on traditional paper business cards—until we explored more innovative, memorable, and eco-friendly alternatives.
Some of our alternatives:
- Coasters – Perfect for networking events and office spaces, these coasters featured our branding and contact details.
- Lens Cloths – A useful, long-lasting giveaway that also carried our branding and contact information through a prominent QR code.
- QR Code Pens – Functional, practical, and always within reach, these pens allowed us to seamlessly share our contact details with a simple scan.
- Seed Paper Page Markers – A sustainable and innovative option that not only replaced the business card but also encouraged recipients to plant and grow something meaningful.
Client Success Stories
We weren’t the only ones making the shift. Some clients also embraced new ways to connect, choosing solutions that aligned with their brand values and industry needs:
- Webcam covers – A tech-savvy and privacy-conscious alternative for businesses in the digital space, branded and supplied on effectively, a traditional business card – or conveying a specific message, e.g. for an event or specialised service.
- Metal business-card sized bottle openers – A sleek, durable alternative with printed contact details, ensuring high visibility and functionality.
The Impact: Efficiency, Sustainability & Memorability
The shift away from traditional business cards can reduce waste. Recipients could be more likely to interact with digital contact methods, and the practicality of these items mean they stay in use longer than a typical paper card.
If you’re looking to upgrade your own business card experience, consider exploring these smart and practical alternatives.
