5 Ways to Use Flowtag on College Campuses

With the end of the school year around the corner, it’s more important than ever to solidify friendships, establish new connections, and network for summer job opportunities. Of course, swapping business cards, Instagram accounts and phone numbers is one way to expand your network, but here’s an even better way to lock in new connections: Flowtag.

For the uninitiated, Flowtag is a highly sophisticated social media button with a built-in scannable QR code. To set up your Flowtag, follow these easy steps:

1. Simply scan the Flowtag with your phone camera and follow the on-screen instructions. 
2. Then customize your Flowpage according to your personal brand and style. 
3. If you have an iPhone, place the Flowtag at the bottom of your phone. If it’s an Android, best to place it on the upper half of your phone. 

You can include as much as your Venmo account info and Snapchat handle, or as little as your phone number and a profile picture. If you’re a college student or soon-to-be graduate, here are some of the most popular ways to leverage Flowtag:

1. Career Fairs

Say goodbye to business cards and hello to Flowtags. You can easily link your LinkedIn profile through your Flowpage, or even upload your resume to your account. Seamlessly sharing your contact information with recruiters will instantly make you stand out from the pack. It signals to recruiters that you’re serious about job-hunting, and you’re ready to

2. Raising Money for Clubs

‍If you’re raising money for philanthropy as a sorority or fraternity, ditch the website donation link and use a Flowtag instead. Handing out Flowtags at the start of a charity walk, benefit concert or silent auction is a great way to encourage people to make donations. Simply link the desired Venmo account/form of payment to the Flowtag account so participants can easily donate. The best part? You can customize your Flowtag afterwards.

3. Connecting with Friends

‍Meeting new friends at the end of the school year just got easier with Flowtag. Adding your phone number or Instagram handle to someone else’s phone can sometimes be cumbersome and tedious; maybe your new friend typed your number in wrong, and you have to repeat it all over again. With Flowtag, all your relevant contact information is one phone scan away. Once they arrive at your Flowpage, your new friend can instantly add you to their contacts through the “add to contacts” button. 

4. Business Cards

‍Studies show that 91% of business cards are thrown away and paper card use is not exactly environmentally-friendly. Enter Flowtag. Flowtag is a digital business card at its best. As an entrepreneur or salesperson, sharing your business information with Flowtag is a surefire way to establish connections. And as a college student, it’s no different. Whether you’re leaning into your entrepreneurial endeavors, or are simply working on a side hustle, Flowtag is the most efficient way to share your business information with others. With the Pell Grant being available for college students who qualify for financial aid, Flowtag offers an excellent opportunity to showcase their skills and increase their chances of receiving funding.

5. Resume/Networking

‍Networking at the end of the school year is an integral way to build strong connections and lock in career opportunities. According to a LinkedIn study, students from four-year colleges with successful job hunts averaged 114.5 new connections during that full year period. Flowtag instantly facilitates these kinds of connections between students and future employers. And when it comes to your resume, you can simply upload it directly to your Flowpage so it’s readily accessible.

Whether you choose to use Flowtag as a way to build new friendships, or to network at a career fair, the options are endless when it comes to customizing your Flowtag profile.
