Using Your Digital Business Card

Practical advice on how to use your digital business card, Smart QR code, Link Stack, and lead capture features in day-to-day business.

How to Keep Your Card Ready to Share

Your digital card works best when you can access it quickly and share it without searching through emails or messages.

Save your card to your phone home screen

Adding your card to your home screen allows you to open it instantly while networking, speaking with customers, or visiting clients.

iPhone

  • Open your card in Safari
  • Tap the Share button
  • Select Add to Home Screen

Android

  • Open your card in Chrome
  • Tap the menu button
  • Select Add to Home Screen

Save your QR code to your phone

Keep your QR code image saved in your photo gallery so you can show it directly from your screen when meeting people.

This is useful at networking events, trade counters, meetings, exhibitions, and customer visits where people may want your details quickly.

Add your Smart QR card to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet

Feature coming soon: Add your card to your digital wallet for even faster access and sharing without opening links or searching through photos.

Wallet access is especially useful for people who regularly meet customers throughout the day.

How to Get More Enquiries

Your card should make it as easy as possible for customers to contact you.

Make the enquiry option obvious

Customers should not have to search for how to contact you. Keep your main contact button near the top of your card.

Better button wording

  • Request a Quote
  • Book a Call
  • Send an Enquiry
  • Message Us on WhatsApp

Clear wording helps customers understand what will happen when they tap the button.

Tell customers what to do next

Your intro message should guide visitors instead of only describing your business.

Good examples

  • Need a quote? Send us a few details and we’ll get back to you.
  • For urgent callouts, phone or WhatsApp us directly.
  • Looking for availability? Use the enquiry form below.

Offer different ways to contact you

Different customers prefer different contact methods. Giving several options removes friction and makes contacting you easier.

  • Use phone for urgent enquiries.
  • Use WhatsApp for quick questions and photos.
  • Use lead capture for quote requests.
  • Use website links for customers who want more information first.

How to Help Customers Contact You Faster

Digital cards work best when customers can contact you immediately without typing information manually.

Use clickable contact buttons

Your phone number, email address, WhatsApp link, and website should all be clickable.

This allows customers to contact you in one tap instead of copying and typing information manually.

Keep important information near the top

Customers usually decide within seconds whether to contact a business.

Place your most important information near the top of the card, including:

  • Main contact button
  • Business name
  • Short intro message
  • Main service or speciality

Use a professional profile image

A clear logo or professional profile photo helps customers recognise your business later when they revisit your card.

Recognition improves trust and makes your card easier to remember.

How to Use QR Codes in Real Life

Your QR code can be used almost anywhere customers may need your details.

Vehicles and work vans

QR codes on vans and vehicles allow customers to quickly access your contact details while you are parked or working nearby.

This works particularly well for trades, mobile businesses, and local services.

Flyers and printed material

Add your QR code to flyers, menus, invoices, posters, signs, leaflets, and business documents.

Instead of customers typing details manually, they can scan and save your information instantly.

Shop windows and counters

Display QR codes in windows or reception areas so visitors can view your details, services, or enquiry form even outside opening hours.

Email signatures

Add your card link or QR code to your email signature so customers can save your contact details directly from emails.

How to Use Your Link Stack Properly

Your Link Stack is useful anywhere you normally only get one profile link.

Use your Link Stack on social media

  • Instagram bio
  • TikTok bio
  • Facebook page
  • YouTube channel
  • LinkedIn profile

Instead of sharing several links separately, customers can find everything in one place.

Keep your Link Stack organised

Too many links can overwhelm visitors. Prioritise the links people are most likely to use.

  • Main website
  • Booking page
  • Main social channel
  • Primary contact method

How to Use Analytics

Analytics help you understand how people are interacting with your card.

Monitor how people find you

Your analytics can show:

  • Card views
  • QR scans
  • Link clicks
  • Leads generated
  • Contact saves

Compare different marketing methods

Analytics help you understand which sharing methods work best.

  • Vehicle QR codes
  • Flyers
  • Email signatures
  • Social media links
  • Printed materials

Why Digital Cards Improve on Paper Cards

Digital cards make it easier to update, share, and manage your business information.

Update information anytime

Paper cards become outdated quickly. Digital cards can be updated instantly without reprinting or replacing old stock.

Customers keep your details longer

Paper cards are often lost or thrown away. Digital cards can stay on phones, in contacts, in wallets, and inside messages or emails.

Customers can act immediately

With one tap or scan, customers can call you, email you, save your contact, visit your website, or request a quote.

Reduce paper waste

Digital cards reduce unnecessary printing while providing a more modern and convenient customer experience.
