The digitisation of the business card

We live in a time when the words environmental protection and sustainability have an insanely big meaning. Everyone should and wants to try to live as environmentally conscious as possible. So why not start with print business cards? Everything is going digital these days anyway, so why not use a digital business card? This article educates on the topic of digital business cards so that many more people can make the leap from paper.

The digitisation of the business card

Business card - Essential for entrepreneurs
It is impossible to imagine the world of business without a business card, and despite digital networking on LinkedIn, XING and the like, they are still necessary. On the one hand, they represent the owner of the company and on the other hand, the counterpart sees at first glance who is standing in front of him on the basis of the business card. Digital business cards enable sustainable work and save not only time and resources, but also costs. In most cases, the investment in a digital business card quickly pays for itself.
High-quality digital business cards are designed to be received and sent via NFC tag or QR code. This means that printing on paper can be completely dispensed with.


What belongs on a business card
Creating a digital business card is not witchcraft. Of course, it always depends on the individual company how the business card should look. However, there are some elements that are fundamental and belong on an impressive business card:


Showing responsibility as a company
Every company, no matter how big or small or in which sector it operates, should be aware of its responsibility to operate in an environmentally friendly and sustainable manner. A "green" company also has a much better reputation with its customers. In today's world, design is no longer done in an analogue or physical way, but digitally. In the course of day-to-day business, so much waste is generated that it is possible to significantly reduce the additional waste by using print business cards. The easiest way to do this is through digitalisation.

In most industries, PCs, laptops and monitors are standard. Therefore, it is no longer necessary to waste resources such as wood on physical business cards. A digital business card makes contact even quicker.

Companies save time and money
The function as an employee changes or the mobile number is different, which means a reprint of physical business cards becomes necessary. With digitised business cards, it is easy to update the changed contact information. This in turn saves a lot of time and above all money.

Other media show the way
How often did you have flyers in your letterbox just a few years ago? When you think about it, the first thing you notice is that they are missing. This is because media such as flyers or even price lists have been distributed only in digital form for some time now. And that works. If the companies that have digitised their price lists, flyers, etc. had experienced a sudden drop in sales, we would have a lot more paper in our letterboxes again. So why shouldn't it also work with digital business cards?
