Paper or Pixel? 🚫💼💻 Let's Settle This Debate on Business Cards! 🌍🔎 Join Our Poll in our stories and LinkedIn!

The use of traditional business cards can be traced back to the 15th century in China when they were originally used to let others know of your social status.

With modern technology, business cards have become more accessible and affordable, so much so we enjoy handing them out at random sometimes!

With the advancement of digital technology we have access to apps such as HiHello and QR Me that allows us to digitally share our professional information with whomever we choose.

As promised earlier this year, the Waymaker team have been putting their boots on the ground and have been networking a lot more recently, which has increased our need for more business cards.

This has lead us to ask this question... Are traditional cards losing their edge and should we be going digital?

We thought we'd ask the public! Join in on the poll in our stories and tag the business or app you use!

Chat GPT has many uses within a business by offering a quick perception and point of view you may not have considered before.

By asking Chat GPT to act as a certain position you get filtered responses appropriate to your requirements.

✍️ By asking Chat GPT to act as a journalist you can refine your headlines.

👩 By asking Chat GPT to act as a hiring manager you can prepare for interview questions or even practice your end of interview questions.

👥 Lastly, by asking Chat GPT to act as your target audience you can get insights into pain points, desired solutions, and routes to market you may not have considered before. And so much more!

Have you done this before? We'd be interested to find out what you have asked Chat GPT to act as, and did it work for you?

We love a 'Rome wasn't built in a day' saying!

Why is branding important and how do you get it right?

First of all, let's acknowledge that building your brand isn't a task that takes a day. Rome wasn't built in a day, and it takes someone who knows your business to do your branding, and do it well.

Branding is the cornerstone of loyalty within a business and will affect how others perceive your company. This can be extended not only to your clients or service users, but internally to your employees and stakeholders.

Branding sets your business apart from others, it highlights what makes your business unique, and this can be your winning difference.

Effective branding can be the foundations of what can develop into a long lasting practical partnership by creating an identity that they can rely on, relate to, and trust.

It's not easy, and not everyone knows where to start. That's where we come in.

We take pride in the time we take to get to know not only your business but you. Getting to know you is a great place to start because your branding has to be authentic to you. This ensures the content speaks to your audience, and your identity has to be a visual representation of your brand.

If you need help identifying your branding or your brand strategy drop us or a message, let's have a chat.

"Feminism isn't about making women strong. Women are already strong. It's about changing the way the world perceives that strength." G.D Anderson.

Today is for all the people who stand in solidarity with women on International Women's Day, and everyday, to celebrate and take part in International Women's Day.

May we all continue to celebrate women who show their strength in the work-place, and at home. May we all continue to shout louder for better women's health. May we all continue to advocate for women to have their rightful place in leadership positions, and in male dominated industries.

Today, and everyday, we embrace equity.
