# I&#039;m ditching my business card pile

I've been to a lot of conferences. I've gotten a lot of people's business cards. I've been less than perfect about managing them all. [![Business card pile](https://farm4.static.flickr.com/3174/2969459862_1fc71fe33c.jpg)](https://www.flickr.com/photos/financialaidpodcast/2969459862/ "Business card pile by Financial Aid Podcast, on Flickr")Today I've hooked up with a company that is going to handle it from now on. Shoeboxed handles bulk business card scanning. Mail them the pile after a conference, get back a datafeed and the originals in the mail. Excel, CSV, PDF, whatever. For anyone who has had to manage more than a few business cards after a conference, you know how good this will be for you. ***Full disclosure: I signed up as an affiliate.
