In our modern digital post-pandemic world, smart business cards provide new ways to connect and do business and a great way to upgrade your networking toolkit.
Given that around 88% of all paper business cards are thrown away within the first week, all while providing a small amount of relevant information – usually only the owner’s contact details, smart business cards are an excellent opportunity to network and market your business.
A smart business card uses Near Field Communication (NFC), a short-range wireless network, and a QR code that allows the exchange of information between two paired devices, such as any Apple or Android smartphone or smartwatch, and a smart card.
With a digital business card, you can create memorable experiences to share your contact information and convince your audience to do business with you in our highly digitized age.
A digital business card can help you stand out from the crowd and connect effortlessly in one single tap.
Smart business cards allow you to connect wherever you go and even network smarter at online meetings, giving you the prestige to stand out from the crowd.
These innovative cards bring a much-needed revamp to the old physical business cards with impressive new functions.
Smart business cards allow you to quickly share a digital version of a business card.
There are various options for how your card will appear for the recipient.
You may choose for them to receive your contact details with name, photo, phone number, and company position.
Or, for example, go for the wow factor with a direct link to your website, product information, or a presentation. You can also instantly share a personal landing page with your portfolio and more.
Smart business cards transcend the limits of classic business cards, providing paperless, borderless, and multi-layered networking solutions.
This is a new tool to make a great first impression, and never miss an opportunity to share your company or business contact details or gather leads and connect instantly to your CRM tools.
You likely may have already seen these smart cards but aren’t sure how to create your own and what direction to take. There are many factors to consider, and getting lost in a sea of options is easy.
But how does this all work?
If you’re scratching your head and wondering how to get started, don’t worry- you’re not alone.
Want to know how to create a remarkable and memorable card?

There are three simple-to-use components – a physical business card, software to design your card, and the smart device to receive it.
The design options are limitless – you have total control over colors, business information, logos, graphics, and media files.
