Why Do You Need a Digital Business Card in 2024?

In today’s increasingly digital and environmentally conscious world, traditional paper business cards are starting to lose their appeal. Although they’ve been a networking staple for centuries, paper cards come with significant limitations—they’re easily misplaced, they don’t offer any tracking or insights, and they can’t be updated without reprinting. As professionals and companies seek smarter ways to connect, digital business cards are rapidly becoming the preferred solution.
