A traditional visiting card helps people remember who you are and how to contact you. But what happens when you want to share more than your name, phone number and business address?
You may want to showcase your products, explain your services, share a special offer or make it easier for someone to start a conversation with you.
That is where a digital business card can help.
What Is a Digital Business Card?
A digital business card is an online profile that allows you to share your business and contact information electronically. Instead of carrying only printed information on a piece of paper, you can share a digital profile that people can open on their smartphones.
Depending on the platform, your profile can include:
- Your name and business details
- Phone number and contact information
- Products and services
- Special offers and promotions
- Website and social media links
- Ways for people to contact you on WhatsApp
You can share your profile through a link or a QR code. Someone can scan the code, explore your profile and connect with you.
How Does a Digital Business Card Work?
- Create your business profile. Add the information you want people to know about you and your business.
- Share your QR code. Print it on your visiting card, display it at your shop or share it online.
- Let people scan and explore. Visitors open your digital profile on their smartphones.
- Help them take the next step. They can explore your offerings, save your contact details and use available action buttons to connect with you.
Your visiting card becomes more than a way to exchange contact details. It becomes a way to introduce people to your business.
Digital Business Card vs Traditional Visiting Card
A traditional visiting card is useful for sharing basic information. A digital business card can take that interaction further.
- Traditional card: Shares printed contact details and has limited space.
- Digital card: Gives people access to an online profile with more information.
- Traditional card: Usually needs reprinting when printed details change.
- Digital card: Can be updated without reprinting the QR code, provided the profile link stays the same.
- Digital card: Can present products, services and offers through interactive cards.
You do not have to stop using printed visiting cards. Add a QR code to your existing card and give people another way to discover your business.
What Can You Showcase on a Digital Business Card?
Products
Show people what you sell. Product cards help visitors explore your offerings and their relevant details.
