Non-Traditional Marketing Guru. Social Media Addict. Ad Man. Movie Buff. Live Music Lover. Cigar Aficionado.
Traditional Marketing is Dead. Given this is a bold statement, but it is my belief that with a growing generation of Americans that have become desensitized by the constant bombardment of media the only way to get recognized is by taking a non-traditional approach.
Non-Traditional is the future of the industry, and that's where I come in. I love non-traditional marketing and often come across many original (and not so original) ideas during my travels out in the field. The disciplines discussed will all fall under non-traditional marketing but will include event marketing, field marketing, street marketing, and of course guerrilla marketing. This is a mash of cool ideas that catch my eye that I thought would be worthy to share with you. Enjoy the mash and don't forget to wash your hands.
WorldCard Mobile is one of the coolest iPhone applications I have come across and for the money, can be a pretty sweet little investment for your company's business development. If you are anything like me, I collect business cards at networking events like crazy and they all either end up in my bathroom draw or entry way counter top. I enter what information that I need such as a phone number and then I look like a fool when I have to call the guy asking for his email address because I didn't save all his information the first time. This is an easy solution to organize the clutter and save your contacts information in a quick, efficient way, not to mention its only $5.99 which is a whole heck of a lot cheaper than those business cards scanners that my friends keep raving about.
Here is how it works:
Load the Application
Take a picture of your new contact's business card
Click recognize information
Save into your directory
Make any needed adjustments like saving a photo of the company logo, etc.
It even has a feature that allows you to capture an email signature and import that directly into your contacts.
I hardly ever give a raving review, but this application deserves it. Check out the LITE version to try it out for free!
