Digital business cards for doing general business

Explore these 3 digital business card examples designed for general business networking, aimed at making a strong impression and fostering valuable connections.

1. Add social proof

People trust what others have to say about your product or service more than they trust what you have to say about it. Even a familiar logo can go a long way for building trust.

You can add client logos to your digital business card design or leverage social proof on a landing page that you send your contact to.

If you’re a B2B and you have G2 badges, consider adding them in the same way as proof of your value.

2. Show off what your business can help them achieve

Your digital business card is your chance to make an impression.

Highlight the key benefits your product or service offers with clear, simple language. For example, you could say, “Boost your revenue by 25% with our data-driven marketing strategies.” It’s short, sweet, and to the point.

If you want to keep your design clean, you can do the same with a landing page connected to your digital business card. Because you can constantly update the information on your card, you can keep this up to date without paying extra.

3. Send them to a video that explains your product or service

A video can help you explain your product or service in ways a spoken elevator pitch won’t. Plus the video can be revisited again and again, even when you’re not there to talk business.

Add a link or QR code on your card that directs contacts to a video about your product or service. Keep it short and engaging, so your potential clients or partners get the idea quickly and want to learn more.
