# Social Media Certifications Facebook-Style Business Cards are Fun and Friendly By Tisah Tucknott | Published 2009-06-24 | Marketing Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/facebook-business-cards References: [noquedanblogs](http://noquedanblogs.com/me-hizo-reir/facebook-id/) & [craziestgadgets](http://craziestgadgets.com/2009/04/22/facebook-styled-business-cards/) Made as a joke, the [Facebook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/facebook-1) styled business card seems authentic and fun. These cards have the 'confirm friend' page as the design for the business card. It's cool if you work within a creative field, but it might not be taken as a joke for the more seriously employed. I think this is a neat idea for those who travel abroad, make friends, and want to give them something to remember you by. **Implications** - The Internet has been swept by [social media sites such as Facebook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/facebook-debuts-at-stagecoach), which now have global reach. The Facebook logo is very recognizable and a parody of such a powerhouse is very current, reeling pop culturally savvy consumers in. This product is great for any business or person looking to appear inventive and modern by tying themselves to a company that has a countless amount of users. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 50% | Activity: 91% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Marketing](https://www.trendhunter.com/marketing) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Facebook-style Business Cards:** Opportunity for novelty and personalized business cards that mimic the design of popular social media platforms. - **Parody Products:** Potential for creating parody products that tap into the recognition and cultural relevance of popular brands. - **Inventive Branding:** Compelling potential for businesses to appear innovative and modern by associating themselves with well-known companies. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Printing and Stationery:** Opportunity for printing companies to offer custom business cards that mimic popular social media designs. - **Novelty and Gift:** Potential for companies in the novelty and gift industry to create parody products that play on the recognition of popular brands. - **Marketing and Branding:** Compelling opportunity for marketing and branding agencies to help businesses associate themselves with well-known companies in a creative way. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [NFC-Enabled Business Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mobilo-smart-business-card.md) - [Cutting-Edge Business Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xcards.md) - [Digital NFC-Enabled Business Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/touchless-nfc-card.md) - [Digital Networking Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digibusinesscard.md) - [Digital Business Card Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-business-cards.md) - [Branded AR Creator Courses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/facebook-1.md) - [Digital Card Creators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/businesscardgen.md) - [Digitized Business Contact Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-business-card.md) - [Phygital Business Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moo-paper-cards.md)
