Business cards are still necessary.<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We all know that things rarely stay the same in the business world. But one practice that has remained a constant for decades is the exchange of contact information via business cards.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>2. It is easier than you might think to forget a name.<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve ever had someone introduce themselves at a networking event and not follow it up with a business card, then you know how easy it is to forget a name.
