Business cards are a staple of the corporate and professional world. The usefulness of a business card is showing all of your contact details in a single, convenient location. Hand one to someone you meet, and you’re more likely to continue the conversation later.
What Is a Smart Business Card?
The purpose of a Smart/ digital business card is simple: to help you connect with more potential clients, partners, and co-workers.
I’m sure you’re already familiar with traditional business cards, the printed product that you might hand to a potential client or colleague. It’s a perfect way of networking and leaving your contact details to connect later on.
Smart/ Digital business cards serve primarily the same purpose. Most of us are on so many platforms (Whatsapp, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, and more) that it can be overwhelming to share all of those details at once. That’s where virtual business cards shine.
The point of an e business card is to create a single, simple, shareable file with all of your contact details. That way, the recipient has no friction to follow your account on social media or contact you using the details.
A virtual business card is often shared via email in your contact signature. Instead of mentioning your social details in the body of the email, it’s easier to have them all in an e business card at the bottom in the form of a signature. Most virtual business card tools will help you generate a card to add as the signature to your email.
