Your Location, Your Context: How SnapCard Helps You Keep Connections Alive
Ever forgotten exactly where you met someone? Or wished you could automatically remember that your client lives in a different city, your friend’s home is on the other side of town, or the conference you attended three days ago was buzzing with connections you don’t want to lose track of?
For many of us—freelancers, founders, consultants, or anyone who attends events—context is everything. SnapCard’s location feature was built with this exact challenge in mind.
Name Your Current Location, Remember the Context
SnapCard shows your current location right in the app. But it’s not just a dot on a map. It’s a tool to give your connections real meaning. Tap on your location and you can rename it to something contextual, and SnapCard will remember it.
Some examples of how this works in real life:
- Home: Rename your location as “Home.” SnapCard now knows where you live. When you meet contacts at your house, or plan calls around your home location, it can give you context-aware reminders.
- Work: Rename your office as “Work.” Now your professional connections are automatically contextualized around your work location.
- Friend’s Place: Visiting James’ house? Rename the location “James Home” and select James as a related contact. SnapCard will remember that this location is tied to him.
- Favorite Restaurant: Grab lunch at your go-to spot? Rename it with the restaurant name. SnapCard now knows your dining habits, and can even nudge you to reconnect with contacts who enjoy the same place.
- Events & Conferences: At a 3-day conference? Rename the location “ITB Berlin” and indicate the event will last 3 days. SnapCard now knows when and where you were networking, creating a timeline of meaningful connections tied to real-world events.
How It Works in the App
When you tap on your location in SnapCard, a popup appears that allows you to assign context:
Name current location:
- Lat / Long
- Location Radius (default 25m; options 25/50/100/200/500m)
This location relates to contact:
- Tap to select a related contact (optional)
Choose how to categorize:
- Name this place → enter location name
- Name an Event at this location → enter event name and number of days (default 1, max 15)
Save it, and SnapCard now remembers this context every time you interact with that location.
Why This Feature Matters
From the perspective of someone who networks, meets clients, or manages multiple projects:
- Instant Context: You never have to remember which contact was met where. SnapCard automatically ties people to real-world locations.
- Smarter Reminders: When you’re near a contact’s home, office, or a location where you’ve met before, SnapCard can prompt you to reconnect.
- Event Tracking: Conferences, multi-day meetings, or recurring events now have a memory of their own. Every connection made there is contextualized for follow-up.
- Habit-Forming Power: Naming your locations is fast and intuitive. The more you use it, the more SnapCard becomes your automatic relationship assistant.
- Turn Locations into Intelligence: Over time, SnapCard can help you identify patterns—favorite meeting spots, locations that generate leads, or where you have the strongest personal connections.
The Takeaway
Relationships happen in the real world, and context matters. SnapCard doesn’t just store contacts; it remembers where you met them, the environment, and even the events you were part of. By giving your locations meaningful names, you turn every place into a memory, and every memory into an opportunity to nurture your network.
Your relationships aren’t just names in a list—they’re tied to the people, places, and events that give them meaning. SnapCard ensures you never lose that context again.
