The business card has undergone many changes over its storied history, but it\u2019s largely taken the form of a physical, rectangular card made of paper or cardstock, with important information for getting in contact with the cardholder, like their name, title, phone number, and address.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As the business world has become digitized, information has become commonplace and reflective of the person\u2019s digital presence, like their email address, social media handles, and even links to their websites.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, we\u2019ve gone even further, with some retiring the physical business card altogether in favor of a digital alternative. There are softwares and apps that allow business professionals to exchange their information completely digitally, but others are using QR codes to instantly capture or transfer information.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The reality is that the more text someone sees on a small piece of cardstock, the less likely they are to want to wade through it all. vCard business cards with QR codes linking social media accounts, websites, and portfolios give easy access to more in-depth information and highlights for potential contacts to peruse. Why try to explain in words what sort of work you\u2019ve done when you can whip out a card with a QR code and invite them to look for themselves?<\/span><\/p>\n

A lot of businesses are even using QR codes to link customers to their catalog, social media, and websites! A carefully curated QR business card can be a business card, a CV, and a portfolio all in one!<\/span><\/p>\n

Don’t let this high-tech prospect intimated you! I promise, you can do it!<\/span><\/p>\n

With this in mind, here’s a quick \u201cHow-To\u201d guide on getting your own QR code!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Static vs. Dynamic QR Business Cards?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

What you\u2019ll need to determine is if you need a static or a dynamic QR code business card.<\/span><\/p>\n

A static QR code is often free, but it comes with some notable limitations. You can’t edit a static QR card, so you\u2019ll have to make an entirely new QR code if anything changes. If you\u2019re not planning on changing any information, this is a great choice for you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dynamic codes, on the other hand, scan faster and can be edited as many times as needed. What’s more, information can be accessed on you can even get information on how many times the code\u2019s been scanned, what operating systems they used, and from what locations the code was scanned from. These will often cost a monthly fee, however the benefits are obvious.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s Next?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Once you decide what type of content you\u2019re linking to the QR code, get creative. For instance, change around colors, framing, and format to your preferences!<\/span><\/p>\n

Apps like StayTouch keep all of your information in one place and allows for instant transfer with contacts. Other resources allow you to print out and distribute QR codes in digital and physical forms. You can have your QR code on your resume, website, business cards, fliers, wallpapers for video calls, and more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
