Read on to learn how to create a digital business card in the ClickCard app.

Creating a digital business card in the ClickCard app is summarized in 5 steps. Are they:

Templates: where the user chooses the card template he wants to use;

Photo: place where the user can upload an image of you or your company;

Info: space in which the persona fills in their contact information;

Social: field in which the professional chooses and inserts their social networks;

Design: step in which the user can edit the graphic elements of the chosen template.

After completing these steps, the user already has their digital business card in their hands, being able to view or edit it if necessary.

But for a better understanding, we will talk about each of these steps individually.

Read on to learn the specifics of each one.

When accessing the ClickCard Digital Business Card Creator, the user will have several pre-formatted templates available to customize according to their profile.

It is possible to visualize several free models with the information architected in a specific way for each one of them.

That is, for the user to have a personalized digital business card, templates with different colors, icons, typography and other graphic elements are available for each model.

The idea is that the user can have, even if for free, a digital business card that fits their visual identity.

When choosing a template that best matches their profile, the user must select and name it to proceed with the creation of their card.

It is important to note that the name that the user gives to their digital business card is by which it will be found in internal searches of the app, in addition to being the title of the file that will appear when sharing the card internally and externally.

When choosing a template, naming it and selecting it, the user can skip to the next step which allows the upload of a photo of the professional or company logo.

It is necessary for the user to allow the app to access the media on his phone so that an image from his gallery can be uploaded to the Creator.

The image field has an aspect ratio of 1080x1080, allowing the user to crop or rotate the file to fit the space.

After uploading the chosen image, the user will be able to fill in the contact information that he wants to present on his digital card, such as: name, position, cell phone, email and website.

There are two ways to do this: manually, when the user adds their data by accessing each of the fields presented; or by selecting “Autocomplete”, an option that allows filling in the fields automatically according to the data recorded at the time of profile creation.

The information implemented in this section is the contact information that will be visible on the user's digital card, that is, where the people who access the card will contact.

In the next step, the user will be able to choose between 6 (six) social networks, 2 (two) that he wants to present on his card. The social networks available are: Facebook, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Instagram, Twitter and Youtube.

To fill in the correct way, the user must put the link to his profile in the field of the desired social network.

Remembering that: in particular, to share the LinkedIn profile link, it is necessary to access your profile through the social network app and click on the “three dots” next to the “Add section” button. When clicked, a section with three sharing options will appear. Choose the “share profile via URL” and copy the text.

This will be the link that the ClickCard app user must add in the LinkedIn field when selecting it as one of the social networks presented on the card.

To finalize the personalization of the free digital business card, the user can choose the background that best matches their visual identity, with their own variations for each of the templates.

The backgrounds range from generic themes to specialties, such as: law, dentistry, engineering, medicine and among others.

In the ClickCard application, there are two types of users: those who use the platform by contracting a service and those who use the application for free.

But the question is: What is the difference between a premium account and a free account?

Well, read on as we will explain it to you in detail.

When it comes to “creating a digital business card”, people want to create something that has their visual identity, they want to create something that represents them.

Because the business card is a tool that works with a first impression, it is necessary for the professional to be able to convey his vision, values ​​and goals in the first contact.

This happens through your statements, your clothing, your product, your company and also through your way of networking.

In this way, ClickCard guaranteed its customers the possibility of integrating their visual identity into the digital business card. Thus, details such as typography, color palette, logo, graphic pieces and among other visual details of the company can be incorporated into the card.

You want to know the difference between the two users. Find out now: premium user has no limitations.

Do you want to edit an icon and customize it the way you want? Want to make vector designs on your card? Want to incorporate light and shadow play?

By becoming a premium user you can do all this.

While the free user has limited choices according to the formatting of the template he chooses, the premium user can create his card for free by adding the design and information he thinks is necessary.

Are you interested and want to know how to become a premium user? Read on to find out how to become one or click here to learn about our plans.

In addition to the premium user having a digital business card the way he always imagined, the ClickCard application becomes even broader for him.

In addition to the Card Creator, the ClickCard app provided card engagement through the Metrics tool. That is, the card owner is aware of all accesses that his digital card has on the day, week or month he wants to analyze.

With this tool, the user can get feedback from an event, know how many people accessed their card during their networking practice and even know what contact information they accessed from it.

Another feature available to premium users is the digital wallet.

The digital wallet works as follows: when the user saves a new contact through the ClickCard app, the contact will be directed to your digital wallet automatically. In it he will be able to access all manually saved contacts, all contacts in his company that also use ClickCard, scanned contacts (either by QR Code or printed business card), and those saved as a personalized search result.

That is, in the ClickCard app, the premium user has their own agenda that can be organized automatically according to the way in which the contact information was added to the app.

In addition to the tools available in the ClickCard app, premium users can now purchase their NFC card in addition to their digital business card!

The NFC card is printed according to the visual identity of the customer's digital business card. With it the user can share their card in a matter of seconds. Just bring your card closer to the person you want to share with.

Furthermore, despite being a physical product, its properties are edited virtually.

That is, if the holder wants to change the destination link of his card, he does not need to do another one for this, just edit it on his online platform.

The NFC Card is not dependent on the digital business card, nor is the digital card dependent on the NFC card. Both can be purchased individually or collectively.

That way, when ordering an NFC card with ClickCard, if the owner wants to link it to some social network or website, he can do that. The card does not necessarily need to be linked to a business card.

In other words, the owner is the one who decides its destiny.

To learn more about the ClickCard NFC card and how to purchase it, just click here.

When contacting ClickCard, the customer can request test models of digital business cards to decide which template best suits their expectations.

From a brand manual, corporate presentation or other arts that the user has as support for a final model, ClickCard replicates as a visual identity on the business card.

It is included in this process, from the color palette, strokes, vector elements, to typography, photographs and image editing.

When requesting the creation of a digital business card by the ClickCard creative team, the customer has control of all the details and properties of what the card is composed of.

To understand better, see some models of some companies that are customers of ClickCard:

To reach this result, it was necessary for ClickCard to study not only the company's design but also its vision and values.

In other words: as a ClickCard customer, the user can request the creation of any model, in addition to adding whatever he wants to it.

How to create a free digital and interactive business card

Do you know what a business card is and what it is for?

If you already practice networking or already invest in your external communication with customers and partners, your answer should be yes.

But if not, continue reading this blog and we will explain everything you need to know about this tool.

The business card is a piece of paper or virtual file in which the professional groups the most relevant contact information, such as: email, phone, WhatsApp, social networks, address and among other data.

Check out some business card templates below and better understand their dynamics:

This tool itself can be used by many people and in many different ways. However, the main intention of this production is so that the professional, whether employed or owner of his own company, can promote his work to clients or potential business partners, in addition to strengthening connections in the corporate environment.

Networking can be practiced in different environments, such as: in the company itself, universities and workshops.

In this way, anyone in any environment can practice networking without any limitation to it.

The importance of the business card was due to the professional's need not only to share his contact with people with promising vision and performance, but also to strengthen his connection with them.

In other words, a professional who expands his field of view becomes close, whether he is already a connection or not.

In networking, we have two business card models: digital and printed.

Keep reading this post to better understand the difference between them.

With the development of the networking practice, some bottlenecks began to become quite apparent, especially when it comes to business cards.

As with any investment, whether personal or professional, you need to base your actions on data to have a better view of your return.

When bringing this condition to the world of networking, we are faced with a mass group that, for the most part, cannot validate their actions or even improve their communicative skills because they do not have access to information. It is the indispensable result of your networking.

This occurs mainly with professionals who make use of printed business cards.

Despite containing a quality in the card exchange experience, the printed business card is quite limited for other functions, making it often ineffective.

As it is not a tool linked to a virtual environment, the traditional model ends up not generating feedback from the networking practiced.

This generates to the bearer, a feeling of uncertainty and uselessness. It can worsen to the end of the networking practice by not only a professional, but a company as a whole.

This situation is aggravating for several reasons:

Precisely because there is no data to be analyzed, when there is no return, the professional will automatically look for defects in himself. But when we talk about printed materials, the reason is not the only one.

It turns out that many people who share their data by printed business card, are unable to return because of: discarding the card by mistake through the connection, mental confusion in the attempt to remember which professional the card belongs to, the need for an effort to be generated for a simple task, such as saving a contact, and among other reasons.

Thus, there may be a negative view of this practice to be reflected in two ways:

 Excessive and unnecessary spending on printed business cards to try to make up for this lack of return

 End of a professional's investment in networking.

However, ClickCard believes that neither suggestion is a solution but a problem.

Taking on the challenge, ClickCard decided to create a tool that would overcome all the bottlenecks mentioned above. That is: an application where professionals, in addition to creating their digital business card, can track all their sharing data, thus generating the return that networking practitioners haven't had for a long time.

Follow the blog to learn more about this digital solution.

After becoming aware of the defects that the printed business card incorporates, the entrepreneurs had to bring a solution to the job market that would cover all these negative points. Being them:

With the harm clarified, the creation of a key resolution began, which would carry as a fundamental value the practice of networking by the professional without any economic or accessibility limitation.

And so came the digital business card, which provides unlimited sharing by the cardholder, as well as giving them access to their card engagement in real time.

In general, the digital business card has the following benefits:

Digital wallet with automatic organization.

To better understand this evolution, let's go deeper to know all its benefits and disadvantages, in addition to knowing how ClickCard works with the newest networking tool: the digital business card.

To solve the problems found in the printed business card, it was necessary for ClickCard to find an economical, ecological and accessible solution. Thus, his challenge became: the construction of a tool that did not need paper printing to exist, in addition to being generated at low cost.

And so ClickCard generated its own digital business card.

The digital business card has the same values ​​as the printed business card. That is: it also aims to present the professional's information in a practical way, facilitating contact between them.

In addition to favoring the visualization of the digital card, the tool also allows quick and easy access by the receiver to the data presented. That is, in just one click, the receiver can call the professional, save the contact in the agenda or send an email.

The digital business card also allows that, if the receiver decides to leave it for later to record his contact, the card will have a photo, position, company recorded on the card so that he can more easily remember who it is, so that he is not completely subjected to your memory.

Just with the points already presented, we saw that the digital business card solved: the problem with discarding and saving cards manually; limited sharing via printed card; and access to the professional's means of contact.

To get an overview of ClickCard's digital business card, let's talk about its features:

With ClickCard, networking becomes cheaper and more sustainable, in addition to having an even greater reach than with traditional tools.

As it is a virtual tool, the digital card does not need to be printed and its properties are edited in the online environment. This results in savings on the part of the professional by not having to spend on changes and new prints, in addition to unlimited sharing of the same that does not need copies to be carried out.

But, for a better understanding, let's talk about each of these values and the functionalities that it is composed of.

By downloading the ClickCard application, the user will be able to create their digital business card. With it, it will be possible to attach contact information that he wants, such as: photo, name, position, social networks, cell phone, email and address.

The division of this information, in the app, is already pre-established so that the user has a practical architecture at hand.

Each card template has its own design, thus providing the user with variations that they may like.

In the Creator, in addition to adding your information, the professional can edit the visual identity of your card according to what you want.

After completing this step, if there is a change that needs to be made, the persona can edit it without any hindrance.

Editing is done by the application itself without generating any cost to the user. In addition, he will also be able to create for himself as many digital business cards as he wants.

If the professional decides to engage the ClickCard creative team to generate a card template that they want, their future edits will also be done through the app.

The difference is that the customer will have the choice of complete customization, such as: the choice of icons, typography and any other graphic element that he wants.

After creating a digital business card, the user has several ways to share it in the application. They are: custom link, QR Code and PDF.

To share it via a link, the user will only need to forward it via any digital media to the contact he wants. Your recipient will not need to be a ClickCard user to access it, as the link will take you to an external tab.

Even accessing the user's digital business card outside of the app, the receiver will be able to add it to their calendar and access their contact information in the same way.

If the connection wants, you can also respond to a FAQ informing the reason for your contact and who it is, to the owner.

This message is sent to the user's email so they can allow and contact the connection after being read.

The second way of sharing is done by QR Code.

This is one of the most used ways by users to share their digital card in person.

In the application itself, the user will have a QR Code for each card they obtain. To use it, he can send the QR Code by message or just expand it so that it can be read by someone up close.

Thus, as in the personalized link, the user will be forwarded to the card and will be able to contact or save it on their cell phone.

Sharing via PDF, on the other hand, is nothing more than sending the entire digital card to someone.

The person who receives the PDF will have the card in hand and will be able to contact the professional by clicking on their contact information.

These are the means of sharing that the ClickCard user has when forwarding their digital card to someone.

If your connection is also a ClickCard user, it will be able to find your card in the application itself by searching for your name.

In addition, ClickCard users can save contacts in the application itself through personalized search, close-up search and the printed business card scanner.

These results are automatically saved and organized in each user's Digital Wallet.

Want to know more? Access to learn more about this tool.

As mentioned earlier, user feedback is essential in networking. In this way, ClickCard created the Metrics tool that presents users with all the accesses that their card gets in real time.

The Metrics tool lets the user know when the card is accessed and what your visitors click on when viewing it.

The functionality is able to manage engagement as a whole. That is, regardless of the means the professional used to share his digital card, all the clicks he gets will be computed by the Metrics tool.

This data can be filtered by periods. If the user wants to know how much engagement they received in a particular day, week, month or year, they can obtain this data separately by specifying their date in the tool.

Now when making a digital business card, the ClickCard customer can also request an NFC card.

The NFC card was ClickCard's response to its customers' needs. With this solution, it seeks to bring the physical card experience back to networking, while still maintaining its values.

Make your networking digital and interactive with ClickCard

Have you noticed how easy it is to make payments via NFC? Notice how quick and easy this can be?

If I tell you that you can use the same method to share your digital business card, would you think that's possible?

In search of a sharing without any noise, the ClickCard team came together to bring its customers agility, experience and sustainability in a single product.

That's what you read. ClickCard now allows access to your digital business card through sharing via contact.

So now, when you purchase a digital business card, you can also have your NFC card.

“But what does ClickCard guarantee with this new way of sharing?”, you might ask yourself.

With the NFC card, we guarantee our customers a unique experience from the presentation of the physical card. With it, the owner can share his digital business card quickly, in addition to making a good impression with the quality of the card and its technologies.

Interested and want to know more about how it works? Keep reading the blog.

For you to better understand how far ClickCard has come, let's talk about the beginning of it all.

Over the course of corporate life, professionals saw the need to create a network of contacts in order to generate returns for business and even sales. With that, what we have today as a printed business card was created: a card where all the contact information of a professional is written, such as phone, email, address, company, name and position.

Ahead, it was necessary to disseminate several printed cards so that people could reach the right professionals to turn them into connections.

Over time, many began to realize that they did not have the return they expected from networking, leaving them unmotivated to invest in other copies of the card or even in the network itself.

However, when dealing with a printed business card, the negative result can be the result of several factors and not necessarily the professional, such as: loss of the card and its disposal by mistake.

What makes the investment, of the company or the professional, futile.

With this, the digital business card was created, which shares its owner's contact information with several people without the need to make copies of it.

The digital business card was an economical, ecological and efficient solution for everyone. Which makes it essential for networking today.

However, there are those who, despite having the digital business card and its tools at their disposal, miss the physical product, as they believe that having the material in hand, the experience is unique and invigorating, in addition to showing more formality.

Thus, the NFC card emerged as a networking tool.

The NFC card has become, in addition to a credit card, a business card.

The idea is that with it the owner can relive the experience of having the product in hand while networking, while ensuring the functionality of a digital business card.

In other words, NFC is a physical product with virtual functionalities.

Although printed, it is still possible to monitor and edit it just like a virtual card.

What's more, the NFC card makes sharing contact information even faster. Just bring it close to the recipient's cell phone and in a matter of seconds he will have his digital business card in his hands.

And the most fascinating: sharing via zoom occurs quickly and without any noise during the process.

This generates a good impression for both professionals (the sender and the receiver), in addition to making the experience even more pleasant, allowing a new contact attempt in the future.

Another point is that even if physical, the NFC card is still ecological because there is no need to make copies of it.

That is, you share your digital business card and still keep your physical card with you.

Because they are both physical cards, the traditional business card and the NFC card tend to be compared, even though they are two completely different products.

As previously mentioned, despite being used for the same purpose, the methodologies are different.

With the traditional business card, there is an excessive use of paper for its production. In addition to the expenditure of water to generate energy for the machines.

We at ClickCard are aware that around 420,000,000 tons of paper are produced annually worldwide and we are always looking for ecological resolutions that tend to lower this number.

That's why ClickCard sought a more viable and sustainable solution for networking that, in addition to helping the environment, prevents professionals from spending even more money by investing in papers that will be quickly discarded.

Despite being physical, the NFC card is an ecological option as it does not have to be printed several times, both for copies and for personalization.

As it is virtual, its properties can be edited online, without the need for the card to be redone.

That is, in addition to being ecological and economical, the NFC card is much more comprehensive than the traditional business card, giving more space for the owner to explore, edit and share it.

ClickCard's vision is to generate an ecological, economical and accessible solution for everyone.

In this way, the entry of the NFC card was another ClickCard alternative to improve its values ​​and its products.

After diagnosing in our customers the lack of a physical artifact as a support in networking, NFC was a solution that met all needs.

“But what are the first steps to have an NFC card with ClickCard?”, you might ask yourself.

To purchase your NFC card, simply contact the ClickCard team clarifying your objectives.

There is the possibility of purchasing an NFC card individually or together with a digital business card that gives you access to all the tools of the ClickCard app.

In it, you can create your digital business card, monitor your access, share it via QR Code or personalized link and even meet new professionals from a personalized survey or approach.

Want to know about our app and its benefits? Keep reading.

When making a business card, whatever model it is, its owner will automatically want to know about your engagement.

It is natural that when sharing your card, the professional is anxious about your return, in addition to wanting to know if your social networks and contact information have been accessed or saved.

As a result, ClickCard has developed a tool called “Metrics” for its users.
