  • Trade show floors

Keep the profile simple

Fast sharing pairs best with a clear card. If someone scans while walking, they should still understand who you are and why they saved the contact.

Follow up later with context

Quick scans create the contact, but context creates the relationship. Add a note or send a message when you have a quiet moment.

Speed helps with the exchange; a thoughtful follow-up still does the real work.
