Creating strong connections with people is more important than ever for a business to be successful in this modern age. Business cards are one of the most useful tools to establish those all-important connections. NFC business cards are increasing in popularity, so what how do these digital business cards compare to regular business cards? Let’s find out.
What is an NFC business card?
While regular business cards need a physical exchange of information, NFC cards offer a digital exchange of information. An NFC business card has a chip embedded in it, much like a key card or a bus card, which uses “near field communication” to share information between individuals over a short distance.
Sharing information is as easy as pulling out your NFC business card and having the other person scan it with their phone. The chip will direct the person to your online profile through a link which appears on the smartphone. Your profile will show your contact information, social media profiles, videos, images, links to other websites, and any other important information you add to your profile.
Pros and Cons of Regular vs. NFC business Cards
In a world that is going digital, NFC business cards offer a striking and digital solution to exchanging information seamlessly. While they are handy for modern networking, some individuals still enjoy the feel of a business card in their hands when creating a business connection. Many people feel that business cards are going out of style, so let’s look at why NFC business cards are becoming so popular.
Convenient
Digital business cards are easy to customize, simple to update, and allow you to stand out amongst the crowd, as not everyone is using digital cards yet. These qualities are missing in a regular business card.
Printing business cards is effective. Yet, often business cards are thrown away before they can ever become useful. Digital business cards are convenient for potential clients and allow them to save your contact information or follow your social media immediately. You are less likely to lose potential clients this way.
A digital business card has the added benefit of storing more information than a regular business card can hold, giving you more opportunities to connect with your clients.
Costs
Compared to printing regular business cards over and over again, the cost of printing one digital business card is sustainable. Printing one digital business card is more environmentally friendly than printing hundreds of paper ones.
Additionally, regular business cards require an eye-catching graph design to hold customers’ attention. Hiring a designer with years of experience is an expensive cost for you to make your business card effective as a networking tool. Besides, regularly redesigning, printing and updating the business card adds up to a costly networking expense. In contrast, digital business cards are very convenient and only require an upfront cost with easy maintenance.
If you want to show yourself and you’re business as a cutting-edge, convenient, and trendy enterprise that is environmentally conscious, a digital business card is just the right fit for you.
