Technology has made Networking evolving at a record pace. That means everything we do – from business, meetings and even the way we exchange contact information is changing to a paperless world. This has led more and more professionals to turning to digital business cards in order to share information with new contacts more easily.
So let’s take a look at the revolutionary way to share contact information through a digital business card format that will help you expand your network and grow your business.
Digital business cards are also known as electronic or virtual business cards. They are the same business cards, but they are created and exchanged via the Internet instead of the usual paper print. They are customized with your unique information and it is an easy way to share and save contact information in real-time.
From a wide variety of digital business card software available, you can check the price list and then choose the one that best suits your needs. The platforms allow you to create numerous digital business cards with different information on each card. For example, you can have one for work connections, one for your clients and one for friends and use them in different settings.
Why use digital business cards?
Digital business card apps are great because you can add them to an Android or IOS device. That means you can design your digital card anywhere you can use your mobile Phone.
Business cards with NFC and QR code technology are created to facilitate the exchange of information and links in a contactless and economical way. NFC (Near Field Communication) is a technology that allows two devices to communicate with each other when they are close together.
Digital business cards are easy-to-use. You can share them with a URL or QR with your client being able to download your information in just a click and without needing the application.
Unlike paper business cards, the contact info you can add is unlimited. When planning your digital business card, you can add, promote and share extra information such as your logo, social media links for your brand, LinkedIn Account information, a picture or a short video, unique and eye catching designs.
Digital business cards are the best way to move your brand forward. You can customize the card to match your brand with embedded videos, social media profiles, PDFs or any other brand materials. Also, your digital business card will enhance your networking interactions and demonstrate that you are willing to adapt to changing times. And remember: the way your business card looks plays a vital role in brand perception, as the majority of people judge a company based on a business card.
