Digital Business Card

A digital business card is a web page or file that holds a person's contact details and can be shared without paper. It is usually opened through a link, a QR code shown on a phone screen or printed material, or an NFC card or tag that opens the page when tapped against a phone. The page shows the person's name, title, company, photo, phone, email, and links, and offers a button that saves the contact to the recipient's address book, typically by downloading a vCard file. The email signature and the digital business card overlap, since both present the same contact details, but they serve different moments: the signature travels with every email, while the card is for in-person meetings, events, and anywhere an email has not yet been exchanged. They work best together. A signature can link to the card or include a save contact link, and the card can link back to the person's booking page. For organizations, the same problem applies to both: details change with promotions and departures, so cards and signatures that pull from one directory source stay accurate, while cards created individually drift just like hand-made signatures.
