The 6 Best Digital Business Cards on the Market 2025

by Georges El-Hage

Let’s talk about something turning the networking world upside down: What is the best digital business card? Yes, those paper business cards, which we all know and love, are slowly becoming a retro item… a thing of the past. So, in this review, I’ll help you find the best digital business card on the market.

Here are two pretty shocking statistics that may make you rethink going the paper route: The digital business cards market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.5% and reach $6 billion by 2030 and is expanding at a stunning rate of 12.6% each year, says Allied Market Research. That’s huge! 🌎

You may be wondering, what are these digital cards, and why are they becoming so popular in the already saturated world of business?

Well, lucky for you, I’ll be taking you through everything I know about digital business cards in my review— what they are, why they are great, and the features that make one stand out from the other. 😉

If you are a professional, a real estate broker, a lawyer, a sales representative, a marketer, or an entrepreneur, then this is the guide that will help you know the best digital business cards to use.

The List of Best Digital Business Cards on the Market — 2025 Review 🏆

The current market offers A LOT of different digital business cards — all claiming to be the “#1 Digital Business Card” including HiHello, Popl, and Uniqode — each boasting their unique features and capabilities to meet our preferences.

So I got my hands dirty to figure this out and looked around the internet for answers.👍

P.S. I also personally tried each of the providers listed below and based on some detailed scriteria listed below.

#1. Wave

Wave is the people’s champion and the best digital business card with the most free features and a modest PRO price tag.🥇 Wave digital business card homepage

Pro’s:

✅ Free forever — using QR code sharing, Apple Wallet, and Google Wallet — No app required to share your information

✅ Most affordable PRO subscription price ($4.99/month)

✅ Free business card scanning capabilities

✅ Label and tag functionality in the contacts tab to stay organized

✅ Unlimited contact storage with automated follow-up capabilities via email or SMS

✅ Different sharing modes available based on your networking style

✅ Optional App for iOS and Android to update information

✅ Widgets and Live Activities for iOS (New Feature)

✅ Custom NFC business cards with your logo available on their website

✅ Rated the “#1 Easiest to Use” platform for teams and enterprises on G2.

✅ SOC 2 Type 2 security and certificate

Con’s:

❌ Cannot create multiple business card profiles

❌ No payment integrations — for example, Cash App

❌ No link redirects

❌ No widgets for Android

I found Wave’s onboarding process to be the simplest in comparison to other digital business cards. You can create a free profile on Wave in just two minutes or less, and it is very easy to set up and use. You can start sharing your information instantly by using your QR code, sending your card via SMS or Email, or adding it to your Apple or Google wallet. I have to say that the look and feel of their profiles are very professional and would be suitable for most business environments.

Wave offers a free, PRO (for individuals) and Teams ( for businesses) plans for more advanced features.

With the free plan, you can share your company logo, unlimited websites, contact information, gallery, and social media. This is more than enough for most individual professionals as it gives you all the necessary features to put your best foot forward. You can also add a background image with your company logo, which is not a feature that is always available on other digital business cards.

It’s probably important to mention that Wave gives you, as a free user, the ability to scan paper business cards, add widgets, and store an unlimited number of contacts (which, in my opinion, is one of the most important features for a networking tool.)

The PRO plan costs only $4.99 and provides you access to quite a lot of fancy features such as CRM integration, analytics tracking, and the ability to add a video intro to your profile (I found this to be really impressive.) It’s also good to note that this is the most affordable plan I’ve found during the review process so far.

One of the notable features of the PRO plan is the ability to change the way you share your information in the settings. Once you upgrade to this plan, you can set the following modes:

Default Mode: This is the preset setting that is applied to all accounts. Once visitors land on your digital business card, they will be instantly prompted to exchange information with you or download your contact information. If they complete the form, your information will also be added to their contact book.
Lead Mode: When someone lands on your page, the lead form automatically opens up. Once they complete the form, your information is sent to them via text or email. This mode can be toggled by switching the “Contact info” button OFF.
Share Mode: This allows you to instantly share your information with someone’s phone without them having to click any buttons. It is the fastest and most efficient way to share your contact information. This mode can be toggled by simply turning the “automatically download contact info” ON.

Wave also offers free contact management features, meaning you can add, edit, and tag any new connection you meet. This also includes the ability to send follow-up emails and text messages to new contacts (how cool is that!?) The best part of it all… you can store an unlimited number of contacts on the platform. Additionally, they provide business card scanning capabilities that could be useful for conferences or trade shows.

All for free…🔥

Finally, Wave is SOC 2 Type 2 certified, meaning that your data is safe and secure on the platform. G2 has recognized Wave for Teams (their business solution) as the highest performer in the USA and Canada, with the best results, easiest administration, easiest business to work with, best support, easiest setup, and fastest implementation.

I guess connecting with people does start and end with a wave. 👋

#2. HiHello

HiHello is simple to use with all the basics for your networking needs.🥈

Pros:

✅ Easy sharing without the need for others to download the app

✅ Address book for all business contacts

✅ Automatic update of contact information when another HiHello user updates their card

✅ Easy-to-use dashboard for creating digital business cards

✅ Multiple sharing options, including QR code, Link sharing, Apple Watch, and virtual backgrounds for e-meetings

✅ Email signature generator

✅ Widgets available for iOS and Android

✅ Available on Google Play and App Store

✅ SOC 2 security and certified

Cons:

❌ No custom-designed options for NFC cards

❌ Pricey PRO subscription ($8/month)

❌ No bulk digital business card creation feature for Teams

❌ Business card scanner needs human verification

❌ No sharing modes or automated follow-ups

After trying HiHello, I can conclude that the profile does everything you need it to do. It has contact-sharing capabilities, like the option to download or exchange contact info. They’ve also implemented a pretty user-friendly design and provided us with the ability to personalize our content with the basic information.

I’ve added my profile below so you can take a look at the user interface and how a HiHello profile actually looks. 😎

I personally liked the look and feel, though I can understand that it may look somewhat childish or unprofessional in a business setting (with the flashy purple profile.) 🟪 Unfortunately, there was no way to adjust that design aspect unless you’ve paid for their subscription.

After testing the app further, I have to say that it does make it very easy to share your digital business card by simply clicking the “SEND” button. I was also able to add multiple contact details (such as phone, email, etc.), social media links (Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn), and other content pieces that provide the people I meet with a better overview of my professional identity. My quick take is that it’s easy to use… I like the fact that I can exchange my contact information using a QR code, a URL link, and an email signature.

However, the lack of a professional business landing page (it is a “business” card, after all) and an overview of your analytics might be limiting for some professionals.

Overall, HiHello is an excellent choice for anyone starting a business and looking for a minimalistic solution. While HiHello does offer the basic features for free, upgrading to a Professional plan will unlock you some more advanced capabilities — though it comes at a pricey $8/month.

To wrap up my HiHello review, I’ll say this. The fact that their platform is easy to use, provides multiple contact-sharing options, and they have a top-rated app makes them a really strong player in the digital business card space. 💪

#3. Blinq

Blinq is the minimalistic option with just enough features (and I mean it) for the modern professional. 🥉

Pros:

✅ Simple and unlimited contact sharing

✅ Apple Watch widget for QR code sharing

✅ Ability to add notes to contacts for personalized recall

✅ User-friendly app and website layout

✅ Customizable landing page with contact info, links, social media, payment options, and website

✅ PRO plan at $7.99/month

✅ Blinq-branded and custom NFC business cards available

✅ Unlimited contact info fields

Cons:

❌ No analytics to track your engagement

❌ No 3rd party integrations with CRMs and other apps

❌ Inability to add videos to business cards

❌ No automated email or text follow-up capabilities

❌ No way to exchange contact information

Alright… let’s get started with my review of Blinq. In my opinion, they’ve taken a whole new approach to minimalism. The free features that are provided are extremely bare-bone (meaning there’s not much to do on the app.) Like seriously… you can add your contact info, social media, websites…and that’s pretty much it. 🧘🏼♀️

The app and website design is pretty straightforward, allowing us (the users) to create very simple-looking landing pages (Check my profile out below.)

It’s good to note that they give you the option to share your digital business card via QR code, text, and email. I also noticed they have a built-in email signature tool, which is great and all, but i’m here for a digital business card! There are many free email signature tools out there already (like HubSpot’s free signature tool.)

So you may be wondering why I gave Blinq 3rd place in my review. It’s because of their focus on convenience, simplicity, and accessibility. They give you just enough to be satisfied with your digital business card. They also have the option to add an iPhone widget to your Apple Watch… which, let’s be honest, is pretty cool.⌚

Here’s something else I noticed: Blinq does not compromise on their security and doesn’t date. They are SOC 2 Type 2 which, based on my research, makes them a reliable and secure choice when sharing your information.

Quick review note: Blinq is very solid when it comes to the basics. However, it does lack some more advanced features like video content (YouTube and Vimeo), CRM integration, automated email/text follow-ups, contact exchange forms, and analytics. Their simplicity could be their strength, especially for those who do not network often.

Overall, Blinq is a solid choice for freelancers or individual professionals looking for a quick and straightforward solution. Though, I would not recommend them for businesses and enterprise-level clientele.

#4. Popl

Popl is an amazing option for those looking for a best-in-class digital business card, with one HUGE problem… you need to pay for a subscription to save more than 5 contacts (and it is expensive.)🏅

Pros:

✅ Many NFC products like cards, wristbands, and badges

✅ Highly customizable landing page with video embeds, payment options, and more

✅ Integration with over 5,000 software programs, including major HR and CRM systems

✅ Ability to create email signatures linked to the digital card

✅ Option to create multiple profiles in the pro version for different business purposes

✅ Instant information sharing through tapping, scanning, or sending

✅ Widgets available for iOS and Android

✅ Ability to add color themes to your profile

Cons:

❌ You need to pay to save more than 5 contacts. (HUGE RED FLAG 🚩)

❌ Monthly subscription costs $14.99/month for access to the full feature list (That is 3x the average…)

❌ They claim they have 24/7 support, though you do not get a reply when reaching out via their website live chat

❌ Solicits visitors to create an account after exchanging information

My Popl experience — Popl looks like a leader in the space and is known for its NFC-enabled products and customizable landing pages. You have the ability to share information instantly with a simple tap of your card or scan of the QR code.

I was most impressed with the landing page offered by Popl, as it stands out from the rest. It includes a list of features such as embedding videos, adding payment options, photos, and customizable links to tailor it perfectly to your brand. The pro version’s dual profile feature is particularly useful for those juggling multiple roles or attending different types of events.

🚩 However, there is one glaring red flag… you need to pay their subscription base service to store more than 5 contacts, and that comes at a steep $7.99 and $14.99 per month. In my opinion, having unlimited contacts should be a free feature, and it’s one of the most important features to have. You do not want to be in a situation where you meet 20 important leads at an event and you’re forced to pay a subscription to unlock them.

My final thoughts based on my personal experience: Popl excels in offering a great user experience, a lot of customization options, and a HUGE range of NFC products. Its products, coupled with a highly customizable profile page, would position it as a top digital business card…as long as the contacts were not limited.

However, if you are willing to pay $179.88/ year for the advanced features and a richer experience, I find Popl would be a great addition to your networking tools.

#5. Mobilo

Mobilo is a great option for sales, with a lot of analytics and tracking. However, for the individual business professional, the customization is very limited, and the features could be considered “over the top.” 🏅

Pros:

✅ Customizable QR code to match your branding

✅ Easy to update your contact information in real time

✅ Lead tracking and generationreal-time boards for effective networking management

✅ Various NFC options like cards, key fobs, or smart button

✅ Unique email signature creation with QR codes

✅ Physical NFC cards, especially metal cards, are highly appreciated for their quality

✅ Four powerful modes for the digital business card: business card, landing page, lead generation, and link to any URL

Cons:

❌ No free option — requires purchasing an NFC card to try the solution

❌ Some users may find the landing page too minimalistic, and adding videos is not an option

❌ Plain landing page with no ability to add a background image

❌ Their focus is on selling NFC products and not digital business card landing page

My experience with Mobilo: So, they do stand out from the rest because of their integration capabilities and individual dashboard analytics/overview. The dashboard for individuals gives you quite a lot of visibility on the number of leads you’ve collected, notes taken, and the location where you met the contact (phone GPS needs to be turned ON.) They also make it easy to exchange information with profile visitors and capture leads.

Here are a few cool features I found during my review: Mobilo’s digital business card comes with multiple modes, allowing you to switch between a business card, a website landing page, and a lead generation page. This flexibility 🤸🏼♀️ is pretty neat when you’re looking to adapt to different networking scenarios.

Here’s how I would use the feature. If I’m attending a networking event, I would turn the business card or lead generation page ON. Once I’m done with the event, I’ll toggle the website landing page ON — so that I can share more information on my page. If you don’t feel like constantly switching modes, I’d keep the business card or lead generation page ON indefinitely.

Additionally, the ability to track all my networking results and automatically follow up with leads really helps with the lead-generation process. Who wants to remember to follow up with 100s of contacts when it can be automated? 🤖

However, here’s where their digital business card falls short. You’ll see in the image of my profile below that they are missing a lot of customization and a touch of branding. It feels like the landing page is plain and lacks any personalization…

I also wasn’t too happy with the fact that you need to purchase a card to try their platform. Seriously, you can’t create an account unless you purchase a card. The bar is set so high for digital business cards (with all the competition) that you should give your potential customers the option to try your product for free before making a purchase. The fact that there are no free trials or plans might be a barrier for some business professionals. Though, I understand what they are going for with the one-time purchase model.

Mobilo also has a team dashboard that integrates with third-party tools like Salesforce, Hubspot, and Zapier for larger enterprises. Their physical NFC cards, particularly the metal ones, are good quality based on the reviews they have on their website.

Overall, Mobilo’s solution is great for lead generation and networking. Its no-subscription model for personal use and customizable NFC products make it a SUPER unique and cost-effective choice in the market. While it may not offer the same level of customization and branding as the other competitors, it is still a great option that I highly recommend.

#6. Uniqode

Uniqode has a more sophisticated dashboard that can only be accessed via a desktop — which is why Idecided to review them. They also only have a paid option at $6/month… which is a bit of a bummer. There are many free digital business cards out there for individuals, and this is not the one for you if you want a that option. 🏅

Pros:

✅ Can customize the font displayed on your profile

✅ You can add a custom logo to your QR code

✅ You can add a custom domain to your profile

✅ Cards can be shared via Apple or Google Wallet

✅ You can add geolocation to pinpoint where you met a contact

✅ Integration with over 5,000 CRMs and HR tools.

✅ Capability to track card scans, location, and time of day for better performance analysis.

✅ Advanced QR code customization options

✅ You can create multiple business card profiles

Cons:

❌ No free option, only a paid tier available

❌ No NFC or physical product options — solely based on QR codes or links

❌ Limited features for designing standout cards (e.g., no video embeds)

❌ Similar page layout as Blinq and Hihello…but paid!

❌ No downloadable app to update your information

❌ Your profile is only accessible via desktop 👀

Here are my thoughts: Uniqode stands out for one reason only, their highly customizable QR codes. After a more thorough review, I noticed the Uniqode’s initial business model was providing custom QR codes to businesses and individuals (they’re competing with the likes of Adobe.) They then added a digital business card feature to their product line… and that's the problem. It’s hard to compete with the others providers on this review list because their MAIN business model is to provide the best digital business card. PERIOD.

Now, from my perspective, it seems like Uniqode is better suited for business and enterprise clients and not individual professionals. The features they like to speak about on their website are more along the lines of bulk card creation, CRM integrations, and HR integrations.

For individual users, you only get to create digital landing page and attach the QR code to your Apple and Android Wallets, though there is no mobile app. This means no push notifications, no way to easily access your contacts, and much, much more. I believe you should give users the option to download an app if they would like to. 🤷🏼♀️

However, and this is a big PLUS — they do take security seriously, which is a significant benefit. I took a look and they are SOC 2 Type 2 certified.

🔥 Hot take: Bulk card creation, CRM integrations, and HR integrations, which are boasted by Uniqode, are provided by most of the other digital business card providers when upgrading to a business or enterprise plan. I do not see the additional benefit or value that Uniqode adds to the space with that feature set. I find they may have missed the mark here and only focused on selling digital business cards to companies… but ultimately, an individual will use the digital tool at an event.

Since Uniqode’s main focus is QR codes, they are pretty advanced in comparison to the other providers out there. You can customize their shape, color, and add a logo. You also have the ability to track quite a lot of statistics and data. Some of that data includes total QR scans and location data. It’s unfortunate that they do not have features like adding video embeds, background images, or the choice of NFC physical cards.

While they may not offer the widest range of business card landing page design options for the end users, Uniqode is a solid option for businesses that prioritize security, simplicity, and the power of QR codes in their toolset. With it’s bulk creation feature, security compliance, and integration with numerous CRMs… It makes a great choice for companies looking to digitize their business cards efficiently.

What Are the Features of the Best Digital Business Cards? 🥇

Criteria for the best digital business cards

The best digital business cards are ranked based on many different factors in my review. This includes the ones that have the ability to upload a variety of content pieces, share your contact information in multiple ways, track analytics, set up CRM integrations, and are well-secured.

I’ve added more information on the ranking criteria below and their overall importance on each digital business card I review:

1. Uploading Unique Content Pieces

The best digital cards are the ones that give you the ability to share multiple pieces of unique content on one page. It’s not just your name and contact information that you are sharing, you are also sharing website links, social media profiles, videos, and maybe even some neat little animated GIFs. 👾

2. Many Contact Information Sharing Options

The main feature we’re all looking for in a digital business card is the ability to share our contact information, duh! It only makes sense that the best one gives us a complete list of options to share our profiles. This can and should include email, phone, Apple Wallet, Google Wallet, widgets, live activities, virtual backgrounds, and an easy-to-access app. 🤳🏼

3. Click Analytics and Tracking

Another important ranking factor I considered in this review is the analytics. I asked myself, “Are there any actionable insights that I can gather by viewing the analytics?” If there were, then the electronic business card would get bonus points. If not, well, you know how it works. 📈

4. Profile Page Appearance

This is the area where you can be creative and be yourself. From adjusting the design to selecting the right layout, the best options always provide you with the tools to really make your professional brand shine. In this review, I’ll be taking a hands-on approach and creating a profile with each provider. I’ll also add a screenshot of each so you can see how they compare.

5. Security and Privacy

Now, it’s important that the information displayed on your digital business card is secure and safe… for obvious reasons. In my analysis of these virtual business cards, I’ll be taking a VERY CLOSE look at the security of each one of these providers. My criteria will be focused on identifying if they are SOC 2 Type 2, GDPR, and PIPEDA compliant. If they are compliant, they meet some serious standards for managing your data. 🔐

6. Contact Management and Follow-Ups

The top digital business cards act as a personal assistant that helps you manage, filter, tag, and easily access your professional contacts. We can all agree that less is more in this case. I’ll also be looking for a tool that allows you to manage your contacts, sync them with a CRM of your choice, and ensure that you’re a click away from making a meaningful connection. ✅

7. Subscription-Based Services Affordability

This is the fun part since it involves paying your hard-earned cash for a bunch of value. No one likes overpaying for bloated software, so in this review, I’m putting on my “Should I upgrade my subscription? And is it worth it?” hat. 👒

I’ll be taking a look at some of the additional features provided with the upgrade. This includes customization, security, analytics, and overall benefits to the end user. I’ll also be comparing the added benefits with the overall cost.

8. Customer Support

Last but not least, I’ll be taking a look at all the provider's customer support. I’ll test the email, live chat, and phone support (if any.) In a world where almost everything is accessible with a click of a button, I’ll see if these digital business cards provide a support wiki that makes it easy for users to find the information they need. 🆘

What Are Digital Business Cards? 🤷

Digital business cards, which are also known as electronic or smart business cards, are virtual paper business cards with some added benefits. It’s as simple as that! They work by opening a web browser such as Safari or Chrome after a recipient scans a QR code or taps an NFC business card (FYI, there are many other ways to share a digital business card.)

On your landing page, the recipient can either download your contact information or exchange contact information. They also have the chance to engage with your website, social media profiles, and much more.

Why Use Digital Business Cards? 🤔

Okay, let’s talk about why digital business cards are setting the bar so high for any modern business professional (and the fact that everyone is using them at conferences and tradeshows.) First off, I want you to think about all the times you’ve been at an event, met someone cool, and then… you’re out of business cards. 😤

It’s frustrating, right? Well… digital business cards are here to save your day! (Not all superheroes wear capes.) They’re like your personal networking super-assistant who is always ready to help and has an infinite stash of virtual cards to “hand out.”

Trust me, after reviewing the top 6 digital business cards, I can confidently say that they are a MUST for any networking event.

🌟 Always Accessible, Never Forgettable

So, have you ever been at an event, you meet someone amazing, and then — oh no — you’ve run out of business cards?

Enter digital business cards, your personal networking superhero. They’re always with you, right on your phone. Did you just meet someone over coffee? Whip out your phone, share your card via text, email, or a quick QR scan. It’s that easy, and you’ll never have that ‘Oops, I forgot my cards’ moment again.

📊 Fact Alert: Less Paper, More Green Trees

I’m a BIG advocate for sustainability so if you can reduce your carbon footprint even by a very tiny amount… why not do it? Millions of trees are cut down each year just for paper business cards. When you switch to digital, you’re not only stepping up your tech game but also doing a solid for Mother Earth. Go you for being eco-friendly! 🌳

💼 Professional Impressions

We all know the drill… first impressions matter! So make sure you showcase your brand in style — think colors, logos, or even a cool intro video.

🔄 Update from Anywhere

New job? New city? Looking great in a new display picture? No stress. Update your digital business card from anywhere. Literally… Just log in. It’s like your very own LinkedIn profile but with your own design and brand identity.

📈 Track Your Activity

Some of the cards I reviewed let you peek at who’s viewed your card and when. It’s like having a backstage pass to your network — perfect for ensuring you never miss a follow-up again!

💬 Build Deeper Connections

Digital cards aren’t just about the phone number and email you collect. it’s about adding some personality and what truly makes you… YOU. Unlike other platforms, you can share links to your portfolio, social media, or even your pet’s Instagram (everyone loves a cute pet pic!). It’s about creating a connection, not just sharing contact info.

What Are the Benefits of Digital Business Cards?

Digital business cards offer their users with a range of benefits, this includes being environmentally friendly, cost-effective (no more buying paper business cards), making it easy to share contact details, and store your new contacts on one single dashboard.

🌳Go Green with Every Swipe

Let’s talk eco-friendliness…. I mentioned this before, but digital business cards are a big win for our environment. Think about it — no paper means we’re saving trees and cutting down on all the energy that goes into paper production. It’s not just about ditching the paper (and cutting down all those trees.) It’s about joining a global movement to evoke change! With these electronic cards, you’re networking and caring for the environment at the same time… how cool is that?

💸 Saving Money, Making Sense

Here’s the money-deal with digital business cards: they’re super cost-effective. Forget about all the printing costs and the hassle of ordering new batches of cards after every job title change. Now you can update your details… It’s free and can be done by simply logging in to your account. No more reprinting for every little change in details or design.

📱 Sharing Made Super Simple

Say bye-bye to fumbling through your bag or pockets for a paper card. having a digital card is all about making sharing easier for your and the recipient. With a few taps (or scans) on your phone, you’re exchanging contact details like a pro.

🚀 Customize to Your Heart’s Content

Brand flex is the name of the game with a digital business card. You get to play designer — by choosing your layout, colors, and what goes on your card. If you want to add a video or a link to your social profiles… It’s only a click away.

🔀 Sync Up with Your CRM

Here’s where you can get “fancy” with the way you manage your new contacts. Try connecting your digital business card to your CRM system. During my search for the best digital business card, I found that setting up these integrations is very straightforward. Once a contact exchanges information, the integration, will automatically create the same record in your CRM (from there, you can set up additional workflows like sending those contacts to email campaigns, customer retention flows, or a personalized message sequence.)

Building a Digital Business Card Best Practices

Alright, I’ve created a bunch of digital business cards recently, and they are great for making a lasting impression. However, there are a few important things to consider when trying to build one well. In this section, I’ll give you some valuable tips on how to create an impactful virtual business card that’s optimized for your content and branding. The more optimized your page is the more likely people will want to exchange contact information with you. 🙂

Tips for Creating a Digital Business Card

Keep it concise: When it comes to building your profile, less is ALWAYS more. Try to only keep the essential information on your page. People are browsing your profile during or at the end of an in-person conversation. For that reason, make sure you have a clear call to action such as “download my contact,” “exchange contact info,” “browse my website.” or “connect with me on LinkedIn.” Make sure you remove any unnecessary information from your page.
Highlight contact information: This continues with my previous point… make sure to highlight your most important contact information. If you have the option to display your phone number or email on the page… you should definitely do it. By keeping this detail clear, you’ll make sure that your new contact is directed to the correct info.
Use a professional display photo: This is obvious, but I’ll include it here anyway. A professional photo is non-negotiable, as people are more likely to exchange contact information with you if your page looks like a social profile and not like a website landing page.
Choose your text wisely: Many of the cards I’ve reviewed do not have the option to change fonts. Though, if you do have that option, please make sure that you select one that is easy to read. You do not want to be in a situation where someone can’t read the text displayed on your page!
Add branding: Alright… next up, branding. make sure to customize your profile to reflect your brand identity. Add content such as your company logo, color, or font style (make sure to make it legible.) Remember, consistent branding helps create a unified image across all your customer touchpoints.
Regularly update your card: I probably don’t need to say this, but please keep your virtual business card up-to-date if you’ve changed contact info or job titles, simply log in to make the necessary adjustments.

Make sure to follow these tips to make one heck of a digital profile and an outstanding first impression. 🥳

What Are the Near-Future Predictions for Digital Business Cards? 🔮

No one really knows the future of digital business cards, though if I were to take an educated guess, I’d say there’s going to be a global adoption. People worldwide are moving to a more green and digital alternative to paper. It’s only a matter of time before everyone utilizes QR codes. Even mobile phones globally are able to scan them — making digital business cards an even more viable option.

I also believe that this tech will soon integrate with a lot more tools. At the moment, the core value proposition is to sync your contacts to a CRM. However, I do see a future where this tool will be able to incorporate AI in some shape or form. It’s no longer a matter of how but a matter of when.

This space is evolving extremely fast, and I’m looking forward to keeping up with all the new updates from all the brands I reviewed.
