Digitalization is a code of conduct that every business is following in present times, and it is expected that these current procedures will be followed into the future. Why? Because this way of running a business has not only kept people at a safer social distance but has been proven efficient in terms of time and cost. Hence touchless business cards, aka e-business cards, have become readily popular amongst organizations.

WHAT IS A TOUCHLESS BUSINESS CARD?

A touchless or a digital business card can be explained as a virtual form of business card that doesn’t need a handshake or face-to-face communication to be shared. The card can be shared through any digital communication medium or social media. Hence, termed as a touchless business card. This card can be designed on any computer, phone, tablet, and iPad. Now there is no requirement of printing bundles of business cards. You can easily design, edit, and share these cards within seconds to masses. You have the liberty to add as much information as you want to your e-business card without any space or content restriction. This card is a good tool to promote your business as most people who have a good online presence nowadays are approachable easily. So, connecting to businesses or people via this e-card is an easier and wiser option.

HOW DOES AN E-BUSINESS CARD WORK?

An e-business card works through an app that helps you share, edit and store the card details. There are several e-business card apps that you can find online and DoveCard is one of those apps. DoveCard enables you to share your digital business card via QR code or a numeric code. Anyone who scans or enters the code in the app accesses your virtual business card. You can easily share the codes in groups at once; hence the digital card comes in very handy in online seminars and conferences. Similarly, you can also exchange the cards or receive other cards via codes, or by accepting the request to exchange cards.

WHY USE A TOUCHLESS BUSINESS CARD?

With the globe undergoing this huge digitalization change, it is extremely necessary to adapt to this new norm. Otherwise, your business’ reputation could suffer in the market.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF A TOUCHLESS BUSINESS CARD?

EASE OF USAGE

All you need is access to your phone and you can share your business card with anyone right away. The hassle of designing the cards, editing it if some information changes, and making small talk while sharing your card physically is done away with the ease of a few clicks. You don’t need to come face to face to share your business info. All of this is just a few clicks away. You just have to send a code via social media, email, or text message, and there you have sent your card to numerous people within one go. How convenient, right?

ECO-FRIENDLY

Let us consider that the world is already in distress and making the environment harmful by cutting trees is a hazard for future generations. Touchless business cards are eco-friendly as they are entirely electronic, and no trees are cut down in the process. It is without a doubt a better choice to save trees rather than using them to make business cards that are mostly thrown away within a week of handing them over to another person.

POCKET FRIENDLY

Touchless cards, as the name itself describes, there is no need for physical business cards. You can design and share your card, doing away with the need to edit, redesign, and reprint cards after every update. This can save you a good bulk of money that can then be used in other promotional activities for your business.

BACKUP

In case you lose your device or reset it, the data on your cloud can be restored easily. DoveCard has an automatic backup and restoration system that sorts the information according to the date. So, there is no stress of losing any cards you once had, unlike physical business cards.

NO LIMITATIONS

With digital business cards, there are no limitations of space or content. You can attach your social media links to the card, which can be easily accessible for others, and also add additional information about your business for better promotion apart from the basic contact info.

CONCLUSION

Designing the touchless business card is easy through the DoveCard app. You can easily share your card with DoveCard. DoveCard has other attractive features other than card sharing, such as cloud backup, group card sharing in a video conference, push notifications of updates, chat and sharing options, and card management.
