Mobile Marketing: Rethinking the Business Card
While I’m not the most technically savvy person, I am always hip to change when I find out about something personally meaningful. My newest “find” is the “M” Card (well that’s we call it at Firebelly anyway).
Let’s assume you’re working with a mobile partner - ours is textbyrequest. It’s simple, you select a key word that people can text to a 5-digit number – and they’ll receive all your contact info, including a short statement. What’s even cooler is they can even elect to have it emailed to them! As our friend Sally Falkow would say - "Hot Dog"!
For instance, if you text “Angela” to 71813, you’ll receive my virtual business card via text. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been caught without a business card. Now, with the “M” Card I can give people my contact info (as long as they have their phones or write the info down to text to later). And think about it, not many people eave home without their cell phone.
I’d love it if everyone was in the know and ”in” on this technology. I’d never have to worry about keeping track of stacks of business cards, not to mention the fact that paperless transactions save trees. I know that this technology will not completely replace the business card, nor do I think it should. It’s just yet another way to get your contact information to people. Since this is fairly new – it’s also a great conversation starter and could help communicate your early adopter stance in life
If you are interested in getting the “M” Card please contact me at angela@firebellymarketing.com - I’d love to hook you up and save a few trees!
