Digital Business Card

Frequently Asked Questions

How is a digital business card different from an email signature?
An email signature is embedded in every email you send and contains basic contact info. A digital business card is a standalone page with richer details that can be shared independently via link or QR code.
Can I include a digital business card link in my email signature?
Yes. Many professionals add a "View my card" or vCard download link in their email signature so recipients can easily save their full contact details.
Are digital business cards environmentally friendly?
Yes. They eliminate the need for printed paper cards, reducing paper waste and printing costs while being easier to update and share.
What formats do digital business cards use?
Common formats include vCard (.vcf) files, web-based card pages, and QR codes. vCard is the most universal format for saving contacts across devices.
