A digital business card to promote your company, that’s the advantage of CARTLY. Most business professionals always have their business cards in their wallet or briefcase to share with potential clients during visits or networking events. While paper business cards are still frequently used, virtually all of the information on them is digital: email, website, phone numbers, LinkedIn, social media, etc.
Wouldn’t it be more efficient to use a digital solution to share this digital information?
We think providing your recipients with an easy way to save all your digital information accurately, instead of recopying the information, with a simple tap is quicker and less effort for your recipients.
Digital business cards are the new networking tool, providing many advantages. You might think that you don’t need them or that your business is too traditional but let us show you how to leverage this new tool and why you should replace your paper cards.
Why should you use digital business cards?
In a world that is becoming increasingly digitalized, a lot of your networking happens online. Whether it’s through Zoom, Microsoft Teams, LinkedIn, social media or your website, the days of in-person networking are slowly dwindling. It’s a great way to promote your business’s digital details and business information. Whether you share your digital business card’s QR code or unique link, you can reach everyone, no matter which device they use.
Here are some of the reasons why you should start using CARTLY Business Cards
Business cards contain digital details
Before the internet and the ultra-digitalized world that we live in today, your business card would usually contain your company address, name, position, and maybe a telephone number and maybe a fax number. The only digital information at that time was the phone and fax number.
Today, many businesses include digital information such as websites, social media, emails, etc. Therefore, a lot of information needs to be manually copied into the recipient’s device.
Make it easy for your recipients
CARTLY provides an easy way to save contact details quickly and accurately, directly to the recipients’ address book, with a single tap or click.
A digital Solution to Promote Digital Channels
When networking, you want people to access your company information as quickly as possible. If you were to write your email address on a paper card, someone would have to open their email application or address book and manually type in your email address, resulting in typos and potential errors.
With CARTLY interactive business cards, save your information with a simple touch or click. You can hyperlink all your social media links, your website, email, phone number, WhatsApp, company video, your product portfolio, etc. Recipients can click on links and be directed to your digital channels quickly and accurately. In addition, since these are external links, it is excellent for your SEO ranking as you get more clicks from your links.
Reducing the use of paper business cards
Think about how many business cards you’ve received over the years, probably thousands.
What do you do with them? Do you usually throw them away if you have no purpose or need?
In most cases, you won’t even look at them until you need the company’s product or service, and they will most likely end up in the recycling bin. It happens every day and is a colossal waste of paper and resources.
Wouldn’t it be better to switch to an eco-friendly digital business card that allows you to promote your business easily from any device to any device?
CARTLY business cards have a smaller carbon footprint than paper cards and offer many benefits such as performance analytics, two-way contact exchange, centralized user deployment and management, to name a few. On the other hand, physical cards are consumable products that have a one-time use. So, it’s unsustainable and wasteful, and it creates extra work for the recipients you are giving them out to.
