A digital business card is a method of sharing and saving contact information in real time. Just like paper business cards, you can customize them to your liking to include general or detailed information such as social links, videos, and more.
To share your contact details with someone, you can either tap your digital business card on an Near Field Communication (NFC) enabled mobile device or have that person scan your QR code.
You can program your digital business card to easily provide your contact information or direct your potential new business partner to your webpage. As a huge plus, NFC cards look cool, they’re durable, and allow contact details to be stored automatically to your account and your contact's phone.
Talk about a game-changer!
A digital business card such as an NFC card offers more bang for your buck. A paper business card simply doesn’t offer enough information and it can't be changed once printed.
You also have to consider the price. Ordering an NFC digital business card is significantly cheaper than ordering hundreds of paper business cards and you get to use it indefinitely.
Arguably the biggest factor to consider is the fact that most people simply misplace paper business cards. In addition they have to manually enter details in their phone which they often don't do. Once you think about it, you will realize that paper business cards are a waste of your time, resources, and a detriment to the environment
Still not convinced you should ditch paper and go for a smart or digital business card? Maybe the benefits will nudge you in the right direction.
You’re already familiar with the traditional route of sharing business cards. It’s quick and straightforward, but it still leaves much to be desired. The times have changed, and we’re willing to bet you already have a drawer full of business cards that you’re never going to use.
Nowadays, it’s simply easier to Google someone to find their contact info, instead of scouring your office or flipping through a Rolodex trying to find a piece of paper.
With a digital business card, you’re not limited to what a physical card can realistically show as you can go beyond the basic information
With a QR code or an NFC smart card, you can direct someone to a page that lists your contact information, as well as links to all of your social media accounts. This way, they can connect with you on their preferred platform.
Additionally, you can easily share extra information that would never be able to fit on a traditional card, such as your bio or portfolio. The sky's the limit.
Let’s take a trip down memory lane to let’s say, 2010. You’ve just printed 200 business cards, you’re attending a convention next week, and you happen to lose your phone. You get a new number and suddenly all of your business cards are useless.
With a digital business card, this is no longer an issue as you can instantly update your information whenever you want - just make changes to your profile.
All your existing contacts will be updated on the new phone number or email address. This way, you ensure that if anyone wants to contact you, they always have up-to-date information.
We already briefly mentioned the price factor that goes beyond the initial investment. When handing out business cards, every time it leaves your pocket, you’re paying for them.
How much?
According to our research, you’ll pay around $20 for 50 cards, and that’s just the basic quality. Keep in mind that you’ll also have to order new ones more often if you’re in the process of networking.
Compare that to smart card manufacturers where prices for smart digital business cards are on average between $30 and $70 and once you get them, you’re all set. Even if your current information becomes obsolete, you can easily update information, thus extending the life cycle of your investment.
Paperless is the way to go. It’s not only more convenient, but you also get to play your part in helping the environment.
As you’re probably aware, traditional business cards are made from either paper or plastic-based materials. So naturally, by removing the need to constantly print out new cards, you’ll reduce your carbon footprint.
Have you seen an NFC digital business card? It looks borderline futuristic and in our opinion, it can leave a lasting impression on potential customers and business partners. Digital business cards are fairly new so many people haven’t yet made the jump and would rather still swap paper cards.
Needless to say, a digital business card can be eye-catching and is an amazing conversation starter.
This is conjecture, but place yourself in the shoes of a new contact when you whip out a flashy NFC card. They’re probably thinking your company is willing to innovate if you’re already embracing the latest technology for something so minuscule.
