gOT SOMETING TO ASK?

hOW?

Can I provide my own custom design & layout (artwork)

Absolutely! We believe in offering “design freedom like never before” with our “100% customizable” approach. If you or your design team have artwork ready, we'd love for you to share it with us! Whether it's a hand-drawn wireframe, a PSD, PNG, JPG, PDF, or even a design from Canva, our team will take your concept and "redesign" it into a fully functional digital business card, complete with interactive buttons and the necessary technical features. During registration, simply select "YES" when asked about providing custom artwork, and follow the prompts. If you're already registered, just reach out to us, and we can easily arrange for file transfers via WeTransfer or other platforms.

Can I update/edit the information on my digital business card?

Yes, absolutely! It’s essential to keep your digital business card up to date with any changes to your phone number, email, website, social media, or other relevant details. While we handle these updates for you, we make the process simple and hassle-free. Just submit a request through our convenient change request form, and we'll promptly update your information. There are no fees or costs associated with this service. Keeping your business card accurate is important, and we’re here to ensure it’s always current. Simply send us the revised details, and we’ll take care of the rest.

Why can't I update/edit my digital business card myself?

Since we don’t use pre-designed templates but instead offer fully customized layouts, it's challenging to provide a self-editing feature that accommodates the wide variety of unique designs. While self-editing isn’t available at this time, our team is dedicated to working with you to ensure that any changes you need are implemented accurately and promptly. Our team is actively researching and developing self-editing options, focusing on maintaining the highest levels of accuracy and security. Our aim is to eventually empower clients to make edits themselves. However, unlike other platforms that offer self-editing features, we prioritize flexibility in design, allowing for structural customization that isn’t possible with most template-based solutions. While changes to contact details or company branding may not occur frequently, it’s still important to have a seamless process for updating your card when necessary. Rest assured, our team is always available to assist with any updates you need.

Why a subscription / yearly fee model?

Our digital business cards operate on a subscription or yearly fee model for several reasons: 1) Ongoing Maintenance and Updates: Digital business card platforms require regular maintenance and updates to ensure they are compatible with the latest devices, operating systems, and security standards. The subscription fees help cover the costs associated with these continuous improvements and provide ongoing support to users. 2) Server and Infrastructure Costs: Hosting and maintaining the infrastructure necessary to store and deliver digital business cards can be resource-intensive. Subscription fees contribute to the expenses of running servers, bandwidth, data storage, and other technical requirements. 3) Feature Enhancements and Development: Digital business card providers invest in the development of new features and functionalities to enhance the user experience. Subscription fees support ongoing research, development, and innovation efforts to offer users the latest tools and capabilities. 4) Customer Support and Assistance: Subscription-based models often include access to customer support services. This ensures that users can receive assistance, resolve issues, and receive timely responses to their inquiries. 5) Sustainable Business Model: Subscription fees provide a sustainable revenue stream for digital business card platforms, enabling them to continue offering their services, maintain quality standards, and invest in future improvements.

What is a fixed "reusable" QR code?

A fixed “reusable” QR code is a QR code that stays the same and can be used repeatedly for various purposes. With our reusable QR code, anyone who scans the code will be directed to the digital business card associated with it, which may include contact details, social media links, company information, and more. Although the QR code itself never changes, the information displayed on the digital business card can be updated anytime without needing a new code. This makes it convenient for sharing across multiple platforms, including email signatures, websites, marketing materials, and other physical mediums, without needing to replace or recreate the QR code.

What is needed to get a digital business card done - ASAP?

In a hurry? No problem, you're not alone! We handle multiple urgent requests daily, so here’s the fastest way to get it done: 1) Complete the registration form. Have the following ready to fill out the form: Your logo/ A supporting background image or industry description (so we can find a suitable background for you) / Your main brand color (Hex code) Your name and title / Contact details (e.g., phone, email, website, social media profiles) Any extras (e.g., photo, PDFs, product or service details). 2) After submitting the form, send us a WhatsApp message with Urgent Digital Business Card and your name or company name, so we can prioritize your request. Please note: this operates on a "first-come, first-served" basis, and we’re aiming for a turnaround time of around 12 hours. 3) Review and agree to our terms of service (as listed below or in the next FAQ).

Digital Business Cards

Your brand, our technology!​

What is a Digital Business Card?

A digital business card is a modern, electronic version of the traditional paper business card, designed to be accessed on smartphones or digital devices. As we move further into the digital age, sharing contact information has evolved, giving rise to digital business cards—also known as virtual or electronic business cards. These digital alternatives are becoming increasingly popular due to their interactivity, cost-effectiveness, and eco-friendliness compared to printed cards.

With a digital business card, you can instantly share your contact details with anyone, no matter where they are. Share via email, messaging apps, social media, QR codes, or NFC technology. Beyond basic contact info like name, title, phone number, and email address, digital business cards can also include links to your website, social media profiles, and even multimedia content such as images, videos, and documents.

In short, digital business cards are a portable, sustainable, and more efficient way to network and showcase your brand in today’s connected world. To learn more, check out our blog for additional insights and tips.

Interesting Facts & Figures

About Digital Business Cards

Environmental impact of printed Business cards

Case study summary

Facts
!!!!

It is challenging to provide an exact number of trees being used for the business card industry due to various factors and variables involved in the paper production process. The number of trees required can vary depending on factors such as the size and weight of the cards, the paper production efficiency, the use of recycled materials, and the sourcing practices of the printing companies.

To gain a more accurate understanding of the environmental impact of the business card industry and the number of trees being used, it would require specific data and insights from individual printing companies, paper manufacturers, or industry research studies. Since this data is not available, we can only estimate by making use of available data (approximations).

Figures

01.

582 Million

Is the number of entrepreneurs worldwide in 2020

02.

83,330

Is the number of business cards produced from 1 tree

03.

500

Is the average of cards required for entrepreneurs only!

04.

281 Billion

Is the number of cards required for entrepreneurs only

05.

3,482,139

Is the number of trees required for that number of cards!

It is not all

These approximation calculations are based on 1 set of business cards per entrepreneur per year (not including the actual number of business ventures of each entrepreneur, their employees or the various other enterprises).

It’s important to note that efforts are being made in the industry to promote sustainable practices, including responsible forestry management, recycled paper usage, and the development of alternative materials. These initiatives aim to reduce the environmental impact of paper production and preserve our valuable forests.

The responsibility for reducing the environmental impact of paper production extends beyond just the producers. Users, including businesses and individuals, play a crucial role in making sustainable choices and adopting practices that minimize paper consumption.
