Calling Cards

I spent my formative years with a "real" professional job doing computer "stuff".  For all those years, I always carried business cards.  And I collected a huge pile of them. They have proven to be very helpful through the years to remember people and products.

Now that I am a recovering computer professional no longer tied to the computer and phone all day, why would I still need a business card?  Well, this in not my first hike. And you cross paths (trails) with all sorts of people in the wilderness.  And it turns out that exchanging information happens out there too.

So why scramble around to find a pen and scrap of paper to jot down a phone number, email or blog address when you can just hand someone a card with everything already printed (and legible too--my printing sucks)

So Glide & I have a shared business card to pass out. Yea, we will still scramble to find the pen and paper to get YOUR information, but at least half the process is automated.  Ahhh, efficiency on the trail...save those valuable minutes so I can get to my  Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia ice cream  quicker :-)

It is a custom design I did in Adobe Photoshop.  I think they are pretty cool.

Since we are doing the Colorado Trail, the card has a CT theme. We "borrowed" the  Colorado Trail Foundation   logo (Please support them) for the front.



And the back has all the links and details.  The QR-Code is a VCard  so you can scan it with your phone (with a QR app) and save the contact information



They were printed by GotPrint  on 2.5" x 2.5" card stock with rounded corners.  I wanted them to be small than typical business cards and the rounded corners make then unique and less prone to dog-eared corners after 500 miles in your pack.

I hope to see you on the trail so you can get your copy!
