Luna founded The Thrive Club to unite female founders in a robust, supportive business network across Surrey and Southwest London. With weekly meetups, pitches, collaborations, and new faces at every table, Luna needed a professional, flexible way to share her business details and marketing content. She found the perfect fit with V1CE.
As the face of a growing community for ambitious women in business, Luna constantly meets new people. Whether hosting in-person networking sessions or helping members promote their ventures, she always introduces herself and The Thrive Club to fresh audiences. That meant regularly printing business cards, flyers, and branded materials, sometimes in a rush, often with last-minute edits. It wasn’t just inefficient. It held her back from the polished, tech-forward presence she wanted to project.
“I had been looking for an easier way to bring my materials to meetings for a while,” Luna explains. “I run a group built on connection, so I needed something that made sharing those connections feel effortless and that could grow with me.”
The Struggle with Print in a Fast-Moving Business World
The Thrive Club hosts frequent events across Southwest London and Surrey, where time is tight and first impressions are everything. But relying on physical handouts often creates friction. If Luna forgets her printed flyers or a guest wants digital materials instead, it means delays or missed follow-ups. Any updates to her services, schedules, or contact details mean reprinting and often, wasting a stack of the old versions.
The paper-heavy process began to feel out of sync for a community-driven brand that prides itself on quality, sustainability, and professionalism.
“I’d been following V1CE on social media,” she says. “And it just clicked one day this is the tool I’ve been waiting for. It could hold everything in one place, look really sharp, and be better for the planet, too.”
Still, Luna had some initial hesitation. As a non-technical founder, she wondered whether a digital business card would be too complicated to set up or use regularly.
Getting Started: Beautiful Design, Simple Setup
Luna reached out to the V1CE team and was quickly reassured. “They were so helpful and friendly,” she recalls. “They walked me through how it worked, and I realised it was going to be easier than I’d imagined.”
When her V1CE card arrived, the impact was immediate. The design was clean, elegant, and perfectly aligned with her personal brand. It didn’t feel like a piece of tech; it felt like a premium business tool she could be proud to carry.
“It looked amazing,” she says. “And setting it up was so quick. I uploaded my logo, added links to my materials, and it was ready to go.”
Instead of carrying folders or chasing emails, Luna taps her card to someone’s phone or has them scan the QR code. Within seconds, they can access her profile, website, PDFs, contact info, and anything else she wants to share.
One Tap to Share Everything
The biggest benefit for Luna has been the simplicity of the interaction. With her V1CE smart business card, she can share all her content with new contacts instantly, professionally, and without awkward searches or delays.
“If I meet someone new at an event, I can share everything with just one tap,” she says. “It makes me feel organised. I don’t have to carry a bunch of stuff. And people really notice how slick it is.”
The digital business card also works as a follow-up tool. Instead of sending links or attachments later, Luna gives people everything they need on the spot. That reduces the chance of them forgetting the interaction or losing interest. It also reinforces the efficient, thoughtful branding that The Thrive Club is known for.
“It’s a better experience for the other person, too,” she explains. “It makes them feel like they’re working with someone who’s on it, who’s invested in doing things well.”
A Smarter, Greener Way to Network
Sustainability plays a big role in Luna's business approach. The decision to ditch paper cards and flyers wasn’t just about convenience; it was about aligning her tools with her values.
“I love that it’s such an environmentally friendly way of making connections,” she says. “We don’t need to keep printing and throwing away. This is cleaner, greener, and just makes more sense.”
By using V1CE, Luna has significantly reduced unnecessary print waste while improving her event efficiency. No more outdated details, forgotten cards, or missed moments. And because her V1CE card is always with her, she can share her details wherever she is, even outside official Thrive Club events.
Building a Brand That Reflects Confidence and Quality
For Luna, every detail matters. As a founder representing a growing network of ambitious women, she knows how important it is to leave a strong impression. The V1CE card has helped her do just that, not just through its sleek design but also through the confidence it gives her in every interaction.
“It reflects well on me,” she says. “It shows that I’m prepared, that I’m thoughtful about the tools I use, and that I care about making things easy for other people.”
The NFC business card has also become a talking point at events. Other founders often ask where she got it, and she’s been proud to recommend V1CE as part of any business’s digital toolkit.
“I’ve had so many people ask me about it,” Luna shares. “It opens up a whole new kind of conversation—one that starts with curiosity and ends with connection.”
