Stickers are the new business cards

When I first went freelance and needed to meet people, I found that business cards were a staple of the networking world. I knew that I needed some, but as a new face on the networking scene I wanted mine to stand out. I came up with the idea of origami business cards. These have served me well over the last four years and definitely made me stand out, although they didn't always fit in people's wallets.

I fancied a change and also wanted a business card that would fit with the new design of my blog. One problem I've discovered with traditional business cards is that there's nothing obvious to do with one after you're given it. All the ones I've collected are in a drawer. If you're given a sticker, it's obvious what you should do with it. You should stick it on something (like a note book), which is what I'm hoping people will do.

Since I collected my stickers from the printers I have become a little obsessed with sticking them on everything I own. It turns out I've never really grown out of stickers. I'm hoping that the people I meet haven't either. If you'd like a sticker then come and find me or get in touch through twitter.
