Getting to know potential customers can be the beginning of a successful partnership and to consolidate the acquaintance, people exchange contacts with each other. No one is surprised by paper business cards anymore but there is a more modern way to share contacts and it is digital business cards. Let's see why they have long surpassed paper cards in the process of exchanging contacts.
Digital business cards have proven to be an even more effective and versatile tool for sharing contacts and interacting with customers. Now new contacts have no chance of getting lost or being inaccurate. Practice shows that a digital business card is an interactive and dynamic alternative to its paper predecessor and it is also a powerful tool that allows you to make a lasting impression on your partner.

Linked by one network
The goal "to look at people and show yourself" has changed its archaic wording, but not its meaning. Networking, participation in exhibitions and conferences, industry meetings always imply new acquaintances and maintaining old ones and this is the part where many people still use paper business cards. But they tend to get lost and contain outdated information. As a result, the effectiveness of your participation in an event is reduced to "no" simply because the business cards "got lost" among other "handouts", and the leaders, managers, marketers and other responsible for contacts of employees did not have time and energy to sort everything out.
But this probably wouldn't happen if your employees were using digital business cards. Digital cards are equipped with clever technologies such as NFC (in conjunction with physical media to share contacts in one touch) or QR code. This gives you several convenient ways to share your business card. For example, your partner scans the QR code, saves your contacts to the smartphone, and at the same time fills in a form where he or she specifies his or her data. Those contacts are automatically uploaded to the list of collected contacts, which can be viewed directly in the application and now you are not just communicating at the event but accumulating a database of contacts and getting the opportunity to contact them by mail and messengers. The tool is also useful for company managers because the collected contacts will not be lost, even after the employees who collected them leave.
