Digital Business Card

What Is Digital Business Card :

A digital business card (also known as a virtual business card, electronic business card, smart business card, and digital visiting card) replaces the traditional business card and is a way to safely and securely share contact information. A digital business card contains all the information on a paper card but does much more. You can embed your picture, make multiple versions with different contact information, and customize it with different calls to action, effectively using the card as a sales, marketing, and customer service tool. Digital business cards often come in the format of mobile and web applications.

• Editable in real-time
• Increased return on investment (ROI)
• Less wasteful

Digital business card cons:

• Slight learning curve

• Mobile phone, tablet, computer, or Apple Watch required to share and receive

Why Do You Need a Digital Business Card?

The point of a digital business card is to have one set of information available to share with others. While you could use the old vCard format, the new style of digital business cards can include much more rich information in a more pleasing design.

Because digital business cards aren't constrained by the size of a physical card, you can put as much information on your digital business as you want.

How Do You Share a Digital Business Card?

There are many different ways to send them out. Some online tools generate a card that you can attach to the bottom of an email in the form of a signature.

Some people send them out via text or share them using QR codes. Some business card apps even have a feature that allows users to send them to others without sending a link or code.
