How to make a digital business card?

[codegeass]

Hello!
I'm helping my cousin with her ecommerce and we thought about making digital business cards and spread them via Mailchimp. Anyone knows how to do this? We are not all that tech-savvy, so we need something easy to use and not too expensive, please :)

We've been using them for a good while now, they're cool and I'd say people enjoy interacting with an e-card much more than a paper one. Making them depends on the chosen platform, but here's a general how-to article you can follow. Since you're just starting out, don't forget to leverage on all the networking features that digital business cards allow. For example, most of them have a lead collection feature or Apple wallet integration options that might come in handy for you. Hope this helps :)

Im not going to be any help on the specifics, but consider what features are wanted/needed.

If it’s effectively an electronic copy of a business card with some details and a QR code link to a web page / social media etc then a full on service with a subscription isn’t needed

But if they want the QR code link to go to x today, but to Y next week when running a particular promotion and to Z in a month then a subscription service fits the bill

Most of the ‘free’ generators require an account which can be free, but added features cost on subscription
The generated QR code never points to your business but to the host and they redirect to a selected location
If you end the subscription then every copy becomes worthless and doesn’t redirect

At least if it pointed to one website or social media you could leave a redirect if you go to another media

Some QR generators will go to the address you choose
To test that create a QR, wave a smart phone camera over it and see what the link shows.
If it says www.mybusinessname.com then that’s where it will always go
If it says www.hosting.com/redirect1234567890 then it goes to the host and bounces to the selected address. That allows you to manage and keep changing, therefore old copies will go to your latest choice ….. until you stop subscribing

Once you have a QR don’t just leave it on the digital card. Save the image and embed it everywhere

You can also create QRs for everything, website, Facebook, linkdn ……
Then embed the QR image onto a Facebook logo (or a ‘find us on Facebook logo’), linkdn logo etc
You can recolour a basic black & white QR into themed colours, such as your friends branding, Facebook blue etc

Note that QR links don’t have to be a web address
it could be a phone number etc, or even just some text …… “Hello” etc or the brand name / slogan etc

Thanks for pitching in, both of you!

I'm working in a company which due to its nature, I have to attend lots of events. but I don't have time to explain all the details about myself. so after a lot of research, I found a solution that alongside other features like social links, book meeting and etc, it offers AI persona and prospects can answer any questions about me anywhere anytime they want without bothering me at late night(for example). it's an AI-powered digital business card, name is Avatalk and offers completely free version as well. also has physical card, QR code, sharable link, and NFC tag as well. i like it.
