Why using a digital card is in your best interest?

 

A kid from the 90s like me who has seen the evolution of digital things, I can understand the marvel of digitization. Also, the nostalgia of paper and simpler times. Today everything is digitized, from currency to paper and business cards.

Do you remember the times when we used to exchange paper business cards with our investors? They were an intimate gesture and a solid way to do networking. Though they still exist, digital business cards are becoming more prominent now.

It is because a smart card saves time, paper, money, and you are sure that the person has it and doesn’t throw it away. A lot of people say that it is impersonal, but excluding this, a digital card has tons of benefits and uses.

In this blog, we will understand what exactly is a business card and why it is in your best interest to get one for your business?

Defining a smart business card

A digital or smart business card is the electronic version of the paper card. With tools and websites like Mobilocard, you can design a digital business card and share it with people using email or social media network sites.

It is similar to a paper business card in terms of its responsibility, which is, to inform people about your business and you. But it does have more use than the traditional card.

Why is it in your best interest to design a digital card?

1.      Paper business cards are disposable

The average of cards that people print daily is around 25 million. You can find around 80% of these cards at the bottom of the trash. No matter how interactive your card is or what kind of paper quality it has, sometimes people dispose of these cards either intentionally or unintentionally.

With that, the hope that you will get a chance to work with them fades too. But when you have a digital business card, you can share the information via mail or phone which ensures that they have your details with them forever.

2.      Digital business cards save money

A company can spend thousands of bucks annually to print their business cards, and the return may not validate this expense. Also, if you end up making a mistake on the cards, you have to print them again, which means double expense.

But when you have a digital business card, you don’t have to worry about this. You only pay the company once to design it. After that, making changes is easy as you have to update the information online only.

3.      It is interactive

There is a lot you can do with your digital business card which makes it interactive, like adding a video link or image or a clickable link to your website or blog.

You cannot do this with your paper business card, which makes it more popular in the eyes of millennials who love interactive things.

 

Lastly, they are eco-friendly. No more wasting of paper or destroying trees for printing thousands of cards. So, choose digital cards and save the environment and make your business trendy.
