Business cards in Edinburgh

Financial and legal Edinburgh

Edinburgh has one of the UK's longest-standing financial and legal sectors outside London, with asset managers, insurers and law firms concentrated around the New Town and the west end. A virtual business card can follow a formal introduction with a QR scan or a shared link, making the follow-up instant.

Festival season and the EICC

Every August, Edinburgh's population of business cards effectively multiplies, as the Fringe and the wider festival season bring producers, promoters, sponsors and venue managers into the city all networking at once, often outdoors or in queues rather than in offices. A card that can be opened or scanned in seconds suits that pace far better than trying to find a pen and paper mid-conversation. Outside festival season, the Edinburgh International Conference Centre, the EICC, hosts a steady programme of corporate conferences and association events where the same QR code works just as well on a lanyard.

Very, a fast scan or a shared link suits the pace of festival networking better than searching for paper cards in a bag.
