How can your prospects view and save your digital business card details?
Once you create a digital business card and share it with your prospects, here’s how they can quickly view, access, and save it.
Note: We will demonstrate how the entire process works via Uniqode’s digital business card solution—without needing any app download.
1) By scanning the digital business card QR Code
Your prospects can instantly access your contact information by just scanning your digital business card QR Code. Here’s how it works:
1. First, share your digital business card as a QR Code with your prospect through your preferred mediums such as Apple or Google Wallet, email signature, social media, event ID tag, or as a JPEG or PNG image on your mobile device.
2. Your prospect can scan this QR Code using:
- a. Their mobile device camera, or
- b. The in-built QR Code scanner, or
- c. A dedicated QR Code scanner app
3. Upon scanning the code, a URL pops up on their mobile screen.
4. Your prospect can click the URL to view the contents of your e-business card as an interactive landing page on their mobile device.
5. Then, they can click “Add to contacts” at the bottom of the digital business card landing page to save it as a .vcf file on their mobile device.
After that, your prospect can access your e-business card details from their phone’s address book anytime.
2) By accessing your digital business card URL
Another way your prospects can view and save your contact details is through your digital business card URL. Let’s see how it works:
1. First, fetch your digital business card URL from Uniqode’s dashboard.
2. Then, you can share the URL with your prospects via Whatsapp, SMS, email, and other mediums.
3. Once your recipients click the URL, they are directed to a digital business card landing page with all your contact details.
4. Then, they can click “Add to contacts,” present at the bottom of the digital business card landing page.
5. Once they click this button, your e-business card details are stored as a .vcf file on their mobile device.
