I surf a lot, I hear a lot of new ideas and projects. And I see many websites before other people do. And then there are websites, companies or people I am in regular contact but haven’t actually blogged or recommended on my blog. This post is here to present a great website and service I know for quite a while but that hasn’t got the attention it should in Europe and in Switzerland.
CloudContacts
What is CloudContacts?
Basically CloudContacts is a service that scans your business cards, stores them in the cloud and lets you access the data any time with any device. It even connects your contacts to Facebook or LinkedIn profiles and much more. And also it offers a huge variety to export your paper business cards to electronic address books like Gmail, Apple Address Book, Highrise and many, many more.
How does it work?
It is pretty easy actually. All you do is collect your business cards you have sorted or lying around and send them in. Or you can take a photo of your cards and send an email. After sending them CloudContacts will scan and import them to an online address book. From here on you have access to all your contacts 24/7 with your computer, iPhone, Blackberry or PSP (any device with Internet access).
What does it cost?
CloudContacts offers different amounts of volumes. You can send in 100 cards for $29.95 (CHF33 / €22), 300 cards for $79.95 (CHF86 / €57) or 500 cards for $124.95 (CHF134 / €89). For 500 cards that is less than $0.25 each!
What about Swiss Customers?
Do not worry! CloudContacts has already handled customers from Switzerland and will continue to do so. Simply send your cards to the US address and your cards will be scanned in no time.
