So, how can you use your digital business card?
There are many ways to share it as CARTLY provides you with a unique link or QR code.
Your unique link is the access to your business card. It is chosen at the time of its creation. For Pro and Business users, you can choose a personalized link, easy to recognize.
Where can I find the link to my card?
You can find your unique link by going to your dashboard and clicking on “share”. This will display your card’s unique link.
Add your business card to the home screen of your mobile device
For quick and easy access, we recommend adding your digital business card to your device’s home screen. To do this, open the link, use the native functions of your device and press “Add to Home Screen”. This method lets you quickly access your card when it needs to be shared.
SMS, WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, and Email
It’s easy to share your CARTLY card. Depending on your preferred communication method, open your card with your unique link and use your device’s native features to share it via Airdrop, SMS, WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, email, or any other communication app.
Email Signature
With your unique link, you can add it to your email signature for better visibility and ease of access. If you don’t have an email signature yet, we suggest you use HubSpot’s free email signature generator to get a quality signature. By adding a call to action (CTA) linked to your business card in your email signature, you can promote your business card to others when sending emails.
Social networks
Your professional activity may require you to be very active on social networks. Adding your unique link to your profile is a great way to promote yourself and your business. Generate traffic and interest, promote your crucial business links, and other essential information about your company.
Whether on LinkedIn, Instagram, Twitter, etc., promote your business card quickly and efficiently to followers and visitors for maximum engagement.
Website
Promote your team’s digital business cards directly on the team page of your website. This is a great way to promote your team’s digital business cards and allow visitors to get the most up-to-date contact information and key company links. In addition, you’ll be able to measure performance via the CARTLY statistics dashboard and see interactions, downloads, views, and more.
Digital or printed media with your QR code
You can also share your CARTLY business card thanks to its QR code. By opening your business card, you can provide others with your QR code, which they can scan and then download your business card.
There are many other ways to share your QR code
You can add your QR code to your PowerPoint presentations, company brochures, posters, or any other digital or printed media that your company uses to promote its products and services to prospects and customers. It gives the reader an easy way to access and save your business card.
Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and Google Meet
Do you frequently use Microsoft Teams, Zoom, or Google Meet to communicate with prospects and customers? Then you should add your QR code to your background. It allows the contacts you connect with to quickly scan and save your details with minimal effort. Even better, you can measure the performance of your QR code scans in the statistics dashboard.
You can download the QR code directly from your digital business card.
So what are you waiting for? Ask your designer to include your QR code on your employee’s virtual meeting background and start leveraging the power of digital business cards for your business.
Automate sharing with Apple Shortcuts
Apple has a great native automation feature called Shortcuts, which was released in 2019.
What is automation? Automation is a shortcut that is activated by an event rather than manually.
So instead of manually opening your digital card every time you want to share or send it, you could automate the opening and sharing process with Apple’s shortcuts.
Plus, once you set up your automated shortcut to open or share your digital map, you can use it on your other Apple devices, like your Apple Watch.
