The Advantages of Adding Business Cards in Google Wallet

The Digital Age has paved the way for several different innovative solutions. One of them is the digital business card. It’s also worth noting that digital wallets have also made its presence known over the years.

So could the two come together in a digital solution that not only makes networking easy, but also storing contact information? The answer is a resounding yes. In this guide, you will learn the advantages of adding business cards to Google Wallet. 

With that in mind, let’s jump right in and discuss this convenient and innovative solution.

1. It’s convenience redefined

When business cards were exchanged, they were done physically. One small piece of paper was exchanged with another. Physical business cards would provide a multiple amount of issues over the years.

For example, they could be lost or damaged. Meaning you won’t have the contact information handy of the person who handed it to you. With digital business cards, this won’t be the case if you store it properly in a Google Wallet.

Gone will be the days of carrying multiple amounts of physical business cards - whether you give someone one or carry a ton from other people. The great thing about digital business cards is that they are stored on their smartphones.

They can be accessed easily. And they can be shared fast. All without having to thumb through your pockets trying to find a physical business card to give to someone. 

2. Real-time updates

Another excellent advantage of digital business cards in Google Wallet is that they can be updated in real-time. If you have to change pertinent information such as a phone number, location, email address, and so on - the business card will update accordingly once the changes have been made.

The carrier of the digital card will also be able to have access to up to date information. This saves them a lot of time that would otherwise be wasted trying to figure out the new contact information of who they’re trying to reach. A major hassle for those who use information from a physical business card, only for the phone number to no longer be in service, the address no longer relevant, and so on.

With physical business cards, there are no real-time updates. This means throwing away remaining cards and reordering a new batch with the updated information. Not only is this a waste of money but also a waste of paper as well.

Don’t forget that there is the frustrating pain of missing out on follow ups with new contacts. That is no longer the case with digital business cards. Real-time updates may or may not be the game changer of the century - especially when it comes to the way we network in the Digital Age.

3. Searchable and organized information

Another key advantage of digital business cards in Google Wallet is that you can be able to organize and search the information with little to no effort. This eliminates the obviously frustrating task of organizing stacks of business cards (while trying to search for a specific contact). Not to mention, that old process is a major time waster.

With this in mind, Google Wallet will store digital cards in a systematic and searchable manner. It will make them easy to locate and retrieve the information you need. With just a few taps on the smartphone, you’ll have the information you need right in front of you.

Imagine having the ability to easily organize your contacts based on certain categories, tags, or other criteria. This will enhance the entire efficiency of storing contact information.

4. It’s a cost-efficient solution

The great thing about digital business cards is that it’s a cost-efficient solution compared to traditional business cards. With the latter, you spend money on printing and distribution. This isn’t the case with digital business cards.

Because of the cost-effective nature, this will be easier on the wallet for many businesses. Especially for startups that are operating on small, limited budgets. No longer will you need to spend money on traditional business cards (along with the additional costs).

5. Environmentally friendly alternative

Earlier, we touched a bit on how traditional business cards can be a waste of paper. And it is true. You can throw them away because of out of date information (among other things). Thus, paper waste can be detrimental to the environment.

With digital business cards, they are paperless. Therefore, they are environmentally friendly for this reason. You can play a role in reducing your ecological footprint with digital business cards.

Many businesses are intending to go green and have adopted the concept of exchanging digital business cards among one of its practices. If your business intends to go green, this is one more good idea to go paperless whenever and wherever necessary.

6. Analytics and insights

Digital business cards offer an analytical feature that traditional cards don’t have. This will give you insights of how often the cards are viewed, accessed, or even shared. Some will use the business card to view through your portfolio or follow you on social media.

So you will see the analytics of who’s been down the rabbit hole with the intent of getting to know you better. It will give you a good idea of who may be interested in any services that you offer - both in the physical and digital sense.
