New Feature Alert: Download Business Card Contacts by Category
December 28th, 2009
One of the most popular features we added to CloudContacts this year has been the ability to categorize your business card contacts. Many of our awesome customers send in their contacts in categorized bundles which allows us to add the cards to the categories as we process them. Of course you can always add the contacts to categories at any time which helps for future interactions with the contact.
I’m excited to announce we’ve added a new download option today that will allow you to download only a selected category. The “download by category” option is available on the left menu and will display all of the categories that are available inside your CloudContacts account. The selected category is included in the download which makes it easy for category importing into other services including Gmail and Salesforce.
When collecting business cards from events and other networking, you should always bundle them in categories. Even if you don’t use CloudContacts to manage your cards (we hope you do!), it will help you identify where you originally met a contact later on. Just a simple band or envelope with a notation (e.g. “SXSW”, “NYC December 2009″ or “friends of Mike’s”) will work. It’s much easier to do it from the start than attempt to remember later on.
