Autodialling Business Cards - Instructables DIY Guide
Instructables DIY Guide

Edible business cards are cool, but we’ve been waiting for something more hi-tech in the realm of innovative business tools. How could anyone not delight in the futuristic functionality of these Autodialling Business Cards?

Unfortunately, you can’t buy them as they are; this is a project for the DIY guy. By following the step-by-step guide at Instructables, anyone can make a business card that’s programmed to autodial your number. One of the card’s edges has a little speaker that communications with telephones by way of a tap of the finger and some DTMF audio tones.

Too high tech for me, I love my Trend Hunter cards as they are, but check out the instruction manual here:

 To use the card you just need to hold the corner containing a small speaker to the mouthpiece of your phone, and then tap it. The card then admits a series of DTMF audio tones to automatically dial the phone number you have programmed. Tom admits the card is really just an “unashamed novelty,” but I can pretty much guarantee no one will ever throw it away. And while the prototype version wasn’t that cheap, he’s actually managed to get the price down to about $2 per card when producing large batches. At that price it’s not something you’d want to hand out to everyone you came across, but if you’re trying to woo a particular client, it would make quite an impact. (ohgizmo)
