Business Cards
Exchanging business cards, known as meishi (名刺), is an important part of professional networking in Japan. During a busy exhibition, your team may collect dozens or hundreds of cards from potential customers, distributors and business partners.

Establish a practical process for collecting and organising business cards received by your exhibition team, helping reduce the risk of misplaced or mixed-up contacts.
Explore options for transferring business card details into a structured digital format, making names, company information, job titles and contact details easier to access.
Help organise Japanese-language business card information, including names, company names, departments and job titles, while taking care to preserve the original details where possible.
Organise contacts according to relevant business interests, product enquiries, meeting outcomes or follow-up priorities, using the notes and information supplied by your team.
Prepare organised contact information and follow-up records so your sales team can continue conversations, review opportunities and manage the next steps after the exhibition.
At a Japanese trade show, business cards often represent introductions, commercial discussions and potential long-term relationships. However, when cards accumulate throughout the day, it can become difficult to remember who discussed which product, which company expressed interest or what action was agreed during a conversation.
BoothJapan's Business Card Collection & Organisation service helps you establish a more organised approach to handling the business cards your team collects. By planning how cards are recorded, categorised and connected with conversation notes, you can make post-show contact management more practical and reduce the administrative burden on your team.
Preserve the details behind every important business connection.
From understanding your contact management needs to preparing organised records for follow-up, we help you establish a practical process for handling business cards collected at Japanese trade shows.
