STAY CONNECTED
Tap And Click With HiWave Stickers
By Peter Elston
In this fast-paced world, we all know that the importance of communication is second to none. However, the way we engage with business partners, professional connections, and even friends is constantly changing—and even challenging at times.
That was until now. Exchanging information just got easier. HiWave now makes it easier than ever to stay connected. By placing their sticker on the back of your phone or wallet, you can exchange any of your contact information with just a tap. Hold out your phone and let the other person tap your sticker, whether you’re meeting someone at a business conference or joining a friend at a new restaurant. Your profile will open in their web browser. Best of all: The other person doesn’t need an app or sticker of their own!
EASY ACCESS
HiWave lets you effortlessly stay in touch with the people you meet. And here’s the best news: It’s free to individuals! While they charge corporate clients for custom stickers or large orders, getting and using a HiWave sticker is accessible to you. You’ll have a blast seeing people’s reactions to the sticker at work—and if you have the app downloaded, its intuitive technology organizes all your new contacts for easy access whenever you need to follow up!
Founder and CEO Phil Greenwald has been at the forefront of the technology industry for almost ten years. Before starting HiWave, Greenwald was the Associate Director of Technology and lead technology advisor at Harvard Innovation Labs, where he frequently lectured on technology, coding, and startup theory.
For many in this modern era, business cards have become an inefficient way to connect. Greenwald realized this and set out on a mission to change the way people connect to the real world—utilizing new technology that makes the exchange of information and follow-up effortless for everyone. Phil and his team designed HiWave’s first product, the HiWave sticker, using Near Field Technology (NFC)—a feature that is now integrated into most smartphones. “Our sticker that utilizes NFC is a much better alternative to the old and awkward ways of networking & meeting people in person,” said Greenwald. “Today, people are already used to QR codes for everything. But this is an even easier and more seamless experience. You don’t even need to open your camera!”
THE WAVE OF THE FUTURE
HiWave has partnered with premier organizations, including charities, sales teams, conferences, real estate companies, and more, committed to connecting their communities in a much more valuable and meaningful way and are co-branding the stickers for additional brand visibility. Organizations like the Waxman Foundation have already showcased their custom HiWaves at their events, proving it a worthwhile investment for any company looking to upgrade its networking capabilities. HiWave is also set to release a suite of digital and physical innovative products currently in development by the end of the year. Plus, because one sticker works for years and replaces the thousands of business cards an employee would typically use, enterprises and startups can save thousands of dollars when buying at scale. Most important of all is HiWave will never sell personal data.
You can order a free HiWave sticker directly on their website. Businesses can also customize stickers with their company logo—which is perfect for sales teams, events, and conferences or to add value to communities and customers.
So, isn’t it time? No more searching through your phone trying to find the people you’ve recently met. Don’t stress about having to carry 300 business cards to your next event. HiWave makes meeting and connecting with people fun again.
