Blogging conference season is upon us and it’s important to bring business cards to conferences and events you attend. Having attended a handful of conferences and a lot of blogging events I can tell you one thing that I’ve learned:
Do something with your cards to organize them when you get them or you will probably NEVER do anything with them.
I have close to 200 business cards from various bloggers and businesses and they all sit in a large ziploc bag on my desk. Looking through the cards I can remember great conversations with some of the pr companies and fun nights out with some of the bloggers but with other business cards I look at, I can’t even remember meeting the people.
Here are a few things I wish I had done when I first got the business cards:
1) Connected with people on Twitter so we could keep in contact
2) Separated cards by conference or event
3) Put a star on the cards of people I wanted to follow up with or continue a conversation with
4) On PR cards, wrote down the brands they were there representing
