Business Cards: Still in the Networking Game or Outdated?

21 February 2025

With a packed calendar of networking events ahead, we recently printed fresh business cards. But it got us thinking – do business cards still hold value in an increasingly digital world?

Sure, we all have LinkedIn, QR codes, and email signatures we could ping over in just one click, but there’s still something about that classic card exchange that sticks with people. A slick, well-designed card can leave a lasting impression, showing you mean business (literally).

That said, we know times are changing. Some professionals have transitioned into digital-only networking, while others wouldn't attend an event without a stack of cards in hand. So, we have one question for you:

Do you still hand out business cards?
