3 Reasons You Should Give Digital Business Cards A Try

Have you been on the fence about trying out digital business cards? In this article, I will explain 3 problems they have personally solved for me and my preferred digital business card brand.

1. Digital Business Cards Make Edits and Changes in Real Time Easy

Problem: Outdated information

How many times have you come up with the perfect marketing, so you get hundreds of business cards printed only to realize you like a better headshot, or your office number changed, or maybe you want to update your logo? It is really annoying to get cards printed just to waste them to have to get them reprinted because of outdated information or a misprint.

Solution: Make edits and changes in real time

Digital business cards make it so simple to make edits and changes in real time. Not only can you edit information like phone numbers, email addresses, images, etc., you have access to many other fields you cannot typically fit on a business card. These content fields consist of:

2. Multiple Digital Business Cards to Suit Your Lifestyle

Problem: Need different business cards

You are a multi-talented individual. So, it can be time consuming and pricey to create and print multiple different business cards to cover all of your bases. Sometimes it may be hard to make a choice to narrow it down.

Solution: Create multiple digital business cards

With digital business cards, you can create as many cards as you want. I currently have one for Real Estate, Content Creation and Detroit Fashion Community. This way, when I meet someone, I can choose which card to share based on how they want to work with me.

3. Always have Access to Your Digital Business Card

Problem: Run out of business cards

I am out and I meet someone really impressive. I reach in my card case only to find out I forgot to refill it. I have more business cards in the car, but I am wearing 4.5-inch heels. I just cannot make it to the car…Has this ever happened to you? Besides, who wants to wait for you to run to the car for a business card. That doesn’t look professional at all.

Solution: Multiple ways to share digital business cards

Digital business cards can be shared many ways. The most convenient way is to keep the business card app on your phone and share it via a QR code, through messages, email, or AirDrop (apple products). Most digital card companies have many accessories as well that can be used to share information conveniently.

My Preferred Brand of Digital Business Cards

When I first heard about digital business cards, it was a complete no-brainer to me. I downloaded 5 of the most popular digital business card apps on Google. I went through the process of creating a card and tested them out. Ultimately, the preferred brand I decided to use going forward was POPL.

I ranked POPL the highest based on the aesthetic, ease of use and options. POPL produces a clean, professional card that you can customize with your brand logos and colors. They provide so many options for content you can share in a simple and easy way.

One of the best features is the LEAD CAPTURE. So, whenever I share my card, I capture the other person’s information. Then a follow-up email (that is fully customizable) is sent to them immediately. 

POPL also has really cool accessories, like:

• Premium Poly Vinyl Cards
• Metal Cards
• Apple Watch bands
• POPL Rope Band
• Displays
• Phone Cards
• Stickers
• Sports Bands
• Badges
• Keychains
• And more…
