Entrepreneurs still use business cards, but the share of paper cards is falling year after year, but the demand for them remains. The main disadvantage of paper business cards is that the information becomes outdated very quickly, which is why you can notice crossed out phone numbers or handwritten inscriptions on business cards, and most importantly, they are lost or written down incorrectly, just a name and one of the phones, finding such a contact in a year or two is already problematic.
Evolution of business cards:
In order not to write down the phone number from a paper business card manually and to be able to update your contacts without the need to reprint, the following modern alternatives are used: NFC business cards and online business cards.
Terminology:
- NFC business cards - a plastic card similar to a bank card, you can write (program) certain information to it: links, contacts, any action of the phone. If you bring such a card to a phone with NFC turned on, it will automatically perform the programmed action
2. Online business cards - a mini web page that contains all the necessary contacts and is optimized for mobile devices. A link to such an online business card can be specified on social networks or sent in messengers. Advanced online business card services have the function of saving this business card as a VCF file, i.e. as a contact in the phone book automatically.
The most advanced solution is to use NFC cards and a special online business card service: one touch with an NFC card and an online business card opens, contacts are already in your interlocutor's phone book! This is exactly the solution offered by the Ukrainian startup eVizitka.
Ukraine is a leader in digitalization in Europe
The Ukrainian startup eVizitka took on the mission of changing the approach to transferring and storing contacts. The MVP (minimum working version) of the fully Ukrainian service was launched back in 2022 by a small team based on the EMPIRE advertising agency.
The service was primarily optimized for the Ukrainian market and its realities: integration of local services and popular social networks and messengers in Ukraine.
