What are interactive business cards

Did you know businesses using interactive business cards see roughly 35 percent more follow-ups than with paper ones?

What an Interactive Business Card Actually Is

1. A digital Profyle that acts like a digital business card. It lives in your Apple Wallet, Google Wallet. Along with an optional physical NFC card.
2. It opens a personal profile page on the recipient’s device
3. It shows your name, photo, company info, links, booking options, videos or files

Why They Make a Difference in Your Networking

• Better sharing. People scan or tap these cards more often than plain paper cards. That means more people see your info. That leads to more connections.
• More follow-ups. Interactive business cards get more responses. You get on people’s radar quicker.
• Save nature. Over 7 billion cards are printed every year. That cuts almost 6 million trees each year for just business cards alone. Going digital cuts that waste.

How Influence Works with Interactive Business Cards

There’s two scientifically proven ways to use interactive business cards to gain more influence and network dramatically better.

• Social proof. When others see professionals using digital cards, they recognise it as modern, trusted behaviour.
• Reciprocity. You make sharing your contact easy and quick. People feel compelled to respond, follow up or engage.
