Nope, I give them out at meetings and other places where I make contacts. What s the alternative? Take a selfie and text each other

I am still given them from my work to hand out.
They help when at conferences or training to make new contacts . |

I think they're still relevant. But then, I design them.

Not dead. I got to meetings on a billion dollar project and we all exchange cards. I don't have a business card holder like I used to. Either snap a pic or keep the ones I like in the desk.

Still relevant. I work with so many different people that I can just give them my card and say if you need anything give me a call. Quick and efficient. If they want to add my contact in their phone they can do it from my card.
I hate when I don't have any because that always seems when someone wants one. |

When a probationer or parolee I supervise doesn't open their door I tuck a card in the jam so the neighbors know I was by. The fact that it clearly states Sex Crimes Team is just another free service we offer.

I text or email all of my contact info as much as I give out cards. But I give out 2,000+ cards every two or three years. So I still use a few cards.

In my line of work (IT) if you don't have 20 seconds to exchange e-mails with me, or tell me how to find you (linkedin) why would I let you shove your garbage into my hand. To be a salesperson or small business owner, I get it - you've got to cover all bases, but for general pop I dont see it. |

No, It's still a good quick way to exchange info. 90% of people I exchange cards with I never contact and I don't want their info cluttering up my digital contact list.

I like having contacts right in my phone but I still deal with enough people who aren't setup for a quick exchange - a card is much easier Plus work provides them

ZA The good heavy coated ones make nice book-markers. Yep, every time you take a dump and open a book there's XYZ LLC's card. 
It's a damn good use of limited advertising funds to buy 1st rate cards. Ironically "crap" cards end-up in the card box. |

Cards are still ok if they are quality and professional.
Otherwise they looks like advertisements for some cheap hack company. Every smuchk has a card. Professionals don't hand them out to every Joe Shmoe and they are simple and to the point. Much like the Paul Allen card at the top of this thread. |
