A Business Card You Can Keep Using as Your Role and Work Change
The information on a business card sometimes needs to be updated.
If you work for a company, you may move to a different department or take on a new title. If you are a freelancer, the services or areas of work you want to focus on may also change over time.
However, paper business cards are often printed in batches of dozens or even a hundred. When you want to update the information, you may still have many cards left.
The cost of reprinting them may not be particularly high. Even so, throwing away cards that could otherwise still be used feels wasteful.
Keep Less Changeable Information on Paper
One option is to print only relatively stable information, such as your name and email address, together with a QR code. Details that may change, such as your title and the type of work you do, can be shown on an online profile instead.
By linking the QR code to your ONE B CARD profile, you can update the information that is not printed directly on the card while continuing to use the same QR code.
For example:
- Your title and the work you do
- Services you offer
- Links to your social media accounts and websites
- Your portfolio
- Recent updates
Even if your work changes or you begin a new activity, you can update your ONE B CARD profile so that people who received your business card can always see your current information.
Let People See Your Current Information After You Exchange Cards
With ONE B CARD, people can save your profile information to their phone’s Contacts app. Your ONE B CARD profile URL is saved along with it.
Once your details have been saved, they can open your ONE B CARD profile from their contacts and view your current information without having to find your old business card.
Instead of treating a paper business card as the finished source of information, you can use it as a gateway to your online profile.
This allows you to keep using the same paper card while updating changing information online, rather than reprinting your business cards every time your title or work changes.
