In businesses, most of the aspects are becoming digital, so does it make sense to digitize the business cards too in this digitally growing world. Today in the digitized world paper is becoming obsolete, whether it is in the form of letters or books. The digital business cards concept has arrived lagging behind the concept of paper business cards. Let us look at some of the advantages and disadvantages of using digital business cards:



Advantages

Let us see some of the reasons why a digital card is a good pick:

Uniqueness

The concept of a digital business card is less known to people, and it might happen that when there is a group of business people, you may be the only one who has a digital business card which shows the uniqueness of your card and attracts the potential client, investors, or business partner, etc.

Updation is easy on Digital cards

When there is a need to alter any of the details like your phone number, email address, office address, or any other information on your card, you can easily make changes to your digital card and need not waste your money on printing new business cards.

Cost-effective

Digital business cards are cost-effective as they involve no printing cost and the card stored digitally can never get lost. You have to give your card once only to your recipients. Once you give your card digitally, it would be stored in the recipient’s cell phone forever.

Can easily send the digital business card

You can easily forward the digital business card by a single click to the number of recipients and you can also receive the card from your recipients. Even if you both are not at the same location you can send these cards remotely, distance does not matter in sharing digital business cards.

Eco friendly

Deforestation is a major cause which is deteriorating our environment. When we use digital cards instead of paper business cards it helps save lots of trees and hence prevent deforestation. Picking a digital card for your business is a good idea to save our environment.

Disadvantages

Need internet access

To create, send, or view the digital business card you and your clients or partners require an internet connection. It is impossible to access the card in the situation of digital malfunction.

Lack of designing options

When you create business cards digitally, you have a limited number of designs available. You are not able to create a customized design and end up having a digital card that seems like every other business card.

Tedious

When you create a digital business card you have to install an app and have to set up an account and then you can create your card. This process is tedious while you can easily give your paper card to the clients.

These were some of the pros and cons of a digital card. After knowing about these points, you can choose between the paper business card and digital business cards.
