Business cards are an excellent way to direct anyone you meet to your information. From a phone number to a company website, your business card should make it easy for new connections to find the right information and access it easily.
This is where digital business cards shine. Not only can you include unlimited information (no more 3.5” X 2” constraints ), but you can also create a fully interactive card. Before digital cards, adding a website, phone number, or any other information to your business card required a lot of space and still might only include a simplified version of the information. On top of all that, the person receiving your card still had to go and type the information into their phone.
Thankfully, there’s a solution. Interactive business cards make it simple to share any information and for the receiver to be directed to the right information with a simple tap. In this article, we’ll show you how to make a more interactive business card.
What is an interactive business card?
An interactive business card is any business card that allows the viewer to take an action with your business card. Interactive cards include fields that drive direct traffic to your business and boost your business card’s return on investment. Effective interactive fields often include a call to action that directs the viewer to your website, an embedded video, a sign-up or payment link, and more, sending leads right where you want them.
How do I create a more interactive business card?
With a digital business card, you can include any information—no matter how complex—and the receiver can simply tap the interactive field to access the information. From links, phone numbers, websites, social media profiles, videos, PDFs, and more, the options are endless—and simple!
