WHAT IS A DIGITAL BUSINESS CARD?

A digital business card is an interactive platform that replaces the conventional paper business card using smart phones and/ or computers.

The digital business card contains all the contact information that a paper business card would normally display, such as the business logo, company name and basic contact information. However, the digital business card offers an enhanced marketing platform that can include a brief company profile, contact details and photos of individual or team, photos of business premises, as well as various links i.e. email, website, GPS location, etc. The digital business card is interactive using icons that your client would click on. For example, when the recipient clicks on the telephone number, it will automatically dial the number; or clicks on the email address, it will open their email with your email address already typed in. If they click on the social media icon, such as WhatsApp, it will open on your profile; if they click on the Navigate icon, it opens a Google map showing directions to your business address. Your client will never have to physically type in a number, or your staff will never have to explain to clients where your business is based.

THE DIGITAL BUSINESS CARD CAN DISPLAY A LARGE VARIETY AND VOLUME OF INFORMATION:

·       Company brand

·       Business name and logo

·       Business Objectives and Mission Statement

·       Contact information, including your social media contact information

·       Address with navigate button (using Google Maps to direct the client to your address)

·       You can share your card using sms, email, or on the social media platforms with a click of a button.
