3 Reasons digital business cards are key to providing an interactive networking experience

1. Recipients can contact you with a simple tap or click
2. Recipients can access their desired information instantly
3. Easily exchange contact details with prospects through your card

1. Recipients can contact you with a simple tap or click

Sharing paper business cards forces your recipients to manually type and save your contact details on their mobile devices. 

Digital business cards, on the other hand, present a more streamlined, interactive approach.

1. Recipients can instantly initiate a call with you by tapping one of your phone numbers.

2. Tapping an email address takes recipients to their email app’s “Compose/New Message” page with your address automatically filled.

3. Tapping your provided business location will activate Google Maps’s convenient directions. 

Thanks to these interactive capabilities, you can quickly establish a direct line of communication with recipients.

2. Recipients can access their desired information instantly

Digital business cards can house as many web URLs and social links as your audience needs to see. 

You can include links to your company’s product catalog, blog, social media channels, and more. 

As you have learned, your recipients can “click to access” all of them from your card.

This allows your audience to instantly view the exact resources they need to learn more about you.

3. You can exchange contact details with prospects through your card

Recipients will see an “Add To Contacts” button upon viewing your e-business card. 

Tapping this button will immediately save your contact details on their phonebook.

A handful of specialized digital business card solutions also support two-way contact sharing. 

This feature lets recipients share their contact details via a form on your card. They simply need to click a “Share your contact” button to activate the two-way contact-sharing form.
