Paper business cards are usually the last thing that comes to mind when you think of a digital nomad. The reverse of what being a digital nomad is all about, analogue is unsustainable, unadventurous, and uninteresting. Packing excess stuff is the last thing you should do, especially boxes of paper cards. Instead, smartphones serve as your virtual business card.
We are aware of the value of being open about your professional identity, particularly when you’re on the go and attempting to expand your network and attract new clients.
Online business cards are used to virtually distribute your contact information. These cards may also be referred to as vcards, digital business cards, QR code business cards, or a combination of these terms. Although the terms are interchangeable, Bizzit is the best online business card solution for discerning people and company teams.
How can a digital nomad benefit from an online business card?
The Bizzit Card is designed to be updated in real-time. When you update your virtual business card, the information syncs with everyone with whom you’ve shared your card. That means that if you decide to open a temporary office in Bali, Barcelona, or Hawaii, your contacts will be able to find you right away. There was no muss, no fuss.
Our online business cards are intended to be shared in a manner consistent with how you work. You can even hold your phone up to your laptop camera and request that your viewer scan your Bizzit QR code business card from the screen of your phone!
In a post-COVID world, how will the pandemic drive NFC adoption?
Businesses face many challenges as the world continues to sail through uncertainty in the newly adopted world, including shifting business hours, fluctuating supply chains, and protecting their employees, all while ensuring that public health is a priority when making these decisions.
In a post-pandemic world, contactless solutions will be the norm.
As social distancing and zero-touch transactions become the new norms, various industry verticals are shifting to contactless solutions based on NFC and QR Codes.
In the post-COVID world, NFC promotes transparency, safety, and awareness to end-users, middlemen, and manufacturers.
Contactless or zero-touch technology will soon become the norm. Companies and brands that promote transparency and adhere to strict hygiene standards can still effectively serve their customers.
