Why Your Paper Visiting Card Should Have a QR Code of Digital Business Card

Digital Business cards are the future now, but paper visiting cards are also not going away anytime soon. Having something physical to pass on to your customers is something that digital business cards lack. However, other than that gesture, paper visiting cards have more or less lost their utility. Nobody likes to accumulate paper visiting cards, and instead, everyone relies on the contact information stored on their phone.

How cool it would be if paper visiting cards themselves would have served as a bridge to digital business cards?

This can be done through a simple enhancement: Add a QR code to your paper visiting card, which opens up your digital business card.

This is because having a QR code on your paper card makes it easier for people to directly save your contact information to their phones and removes the chances of forgetting to add your contact or a typing error. With a QR code, people can access your digital business card, where they can access your contact information, website, and other important information that a traditional card cannot have. So, in this way, the QR completes what traditional paper cards lack.

And let’s say your card has a QR code and the attendees need to just scan that QR code to save your contact information in your phone.  In this way, you will have a better chance of networking with people. You're on the winning end of this deal.
