Digital business cards are quickly taking over as the preferred method of sharing business information and contact details with potential clients. Also known as digital tapped plastic business cards, smart digital business cards and contactless business cards, they’re the fastest, easiest and most professional way to network. With printed business cards becoming less and less relevant in a digital world, we look at the top 7 reasons why you should consider making the switch today.
Share Information Instantly
Sharing your contact details used to involve handing over a printed business card that may have been misplaced or forgotten in a pile of other business cards. A digital business card shares your information instantly with a single tap, some even automatically adding you into their address book.
Look More Professional
With specially designed plastic, digital business cards are much more durable than printed business cards which means that they will look new and professional for longer.
Link to Any URL
Printed business cards typically include a list of links to your website and social media profiles as well as basic information. With a digital business card, you can simply add a QR code or single URL that takes the person to your Link In Bio that will contain all of the links you want them to see. They can then choose to navigate to whichever page they wish to view.
Add As Much Information As You Want
You’re not limited to basic information, such as name, email, phone number and website. Digital business cards let you add as much information as you want with as many links and details as you wish to include. Zoom out to see your general information and zoom in to see your portfolio – the options are endless. Your information is also all kept in one place so it’s easy to find.
Easily Update Your Information
If something changes, no need to re-order another 1000+ business cards with the updated information. Simply use the app to change information on your phone and the update will show across every contact who has your card.
Get Creative With Maps, Media and More
You have more creative leeway with contactless business cards. Add a Google Maps link to your café, take someone to a landing page, include rich media and design your card to reflect your brand and business with as much detail as you want.
Reduce Waste
Switch to digital and save some trees! Digital business cards don’t rely on paper to make them. They involve just one plastic card that you will use over and over again.
