Is Your Business Card Scanner-Ready?

Today with technology like business card scanners being used more and more, making sure your card can be scanned and the information recorded for future use is very important. If you hand out your card but no one’s card scanner can identify the text on the card because of the font, the design, or the background, you have not made the contacts you you want to develop later.

Here are some tips about what works with business card scanners and what does not work.

  1. Make all text in large font as scanners are not able to recognize too small of a font.
  2. Select a font that is somewhat plain. It might not be visually compelling but scanners will have no issues with the text.
  3. Space out the text to allow the card scanners some space to determine the text of your contact information.
  4. Dark backgrounds or designed images look great but distort the scanned text that lies on top of them.
  5. Use text over logo images for scan-ability.
  6. Keep all important contact information on one side of the business card. Scanners do not scan both sides.
  7. Keep different information on different lines. Contact information can be combined into one field when scanned and stored in a database when the text is on one line of the business card.
  8. Finally, make sure all text is horizontal.

Poken Pulse to be Available Soon

A business card alternative is being made available in a new design called the Pulse from Poken. The thumbdrive design makes the device appropriate for business use and features the great features of previous models. This 2 GB device stores your contact information in digital format and when tapped against another Pulse exchanges the contact information using Near-field technology. Just like exchanging business cards but the information is easily transferred to a digital device or a computer database at a later time.

The device is so convenient that it can be attached to a keychain or worn as an accessory. The contacts on the device can be offloaded using the USB port of any compatible laptop, PDA, or computer. When plugged in, a web browser takes you to your Poken account online where all your contacts are stored automatically. The device also uses encryption to make sure your information is not taken unintentionally.

Job Seekers Using Business Cards to Get Noticed

With over 7 million Americans losing their jobs over the past 2 years, job seekers are getting creative to get noticed by employers. Many people hunting for jobs have utilized services initially created for small business for marketing. Services like those offered by VistaPrint for printing business cards, post cards, stationary, and t shirts.

At networking events, job seekers network and pass out unique cards that leave an impression. There’s no business name on the cards, just the name of the individual, their skills, maybe a desired job description, and contact information. And when these aggressive job seekers do get an interview, they provide business cards to all employees that are a part of the process in addition to a unique resume and brochures detailing their business accomplishments.

Professionally looking material is very important in this process and mailing the materials might not be as useful as hand delivering. Getting your best impression in the minds of the employer is your main goal.
