Many already know the benefits of the digital business card in the life of a professional.

As a cost-effective, green and efficient solution, digital business cards are a convenient virtual way to network.

With a ClickCard, for example, practicality arises from the creation of a card to its ways of sharing, having at hand the availability of: QR Codes, personalized links, export to PDF and among other forms.

To learn more about the benefits of adopting a digital business card with ClickCard, keep reading this post and we'll cover it next.

You must have known about the above mentioned means and tools for some time now, right? So what we're really here to present today is the utility of having a ClickCard, not just for you, but for your entire team.

Do you like the idea? Interested? So let's go there!

First: did you know that it is possible to acquire a digital business card collectively? In other words: are you and your team using digital business cards, which can make it easier to communicate in networks and even in business with partners and customers?

As well. ClickCard makes it possible for your business, big or small. Everyone can have a virtual interactive card.

Digital business card for the entire company

Seeking a cost-effective solution for businesses, ClickCard challenged entrepreneurs and team leaders to consider unnecessary spending on printed business cards as a networking tool.

As a result, a massive production of paper was diagnosed, with a higher cost than expected, to solve simple problems, such as: editing of employee data on the card, typing errors and printing of new copies.

Furthermore, despite spending a good percentage of their investment on cards, companies found that they were not receiving a proportional return from networking. In other words, many cards were distributed and few professionals contacted them.

Because the printed business card is a limited tool, the lack of feedback from networks is not just justified by poor execution. Because, many of the printed cards are lost or even discarded by mistake, without the contact necessarily being saved in the address book before that.

But with a digital business card purchased from ClickCard, this is no longer a problem.

ClickCard ensures that team leaders can control not only card usage, sharing, and participation, but also the professional data added to each employee's digital business card.

That is, the user registered on the computer belonging to a domain can only place the position and position in the company that the administrator makes available to them.

This guarantees the company that its employees do not complete their data, outside of a standard norm chosen by the company. In addition to not allowing the placement of personal data by them, only corporate data to maintain the representation of the brand.

In this way, we can say that the first benefit of acquiring a card for your business is the control over all those registered in your domain.

But as I said before and many already know, there are other advantages in a digital business card, such as: accessibility, economy and sustainability that it guarantees. However, there is still a benefit that is even more sought after by customers: personalization.

In view of a group, team or company, personalization of the business card is necessary, freely.

In this way, ClickCard made it possible for all its users to edit their card details without having to pay more for it.

This makes it easy for user groups to edit their job titles or contact information if there are any changes. Generate savings for the brand by avoiding budgeting for new designs and printing.

Remembering that: in the company situation, only the person responsible for the domain can make these changes from the web panel provided by ClickCard. With the individual contract, the person himself has access to these tools, being the administrator of it.

Management tools available to administrators

In order for companies to have control over the purchased product, ClickCard provides them with the Web Panel. It is possible to manage all the cards of all the employees who use the corporate model, in addition to supervising the hiring of each one.

The administrator can, in addition to managing, add new users, delete people and change data in real time.

In this way, provide the company with total control of the circulation of digital business cards in its domain and, from there, provide new solutions and innovations for its networking.

How to buy a corporate digital business card

In order for your employees to have a digital business card, it is necessary for the company to contact the ClickCard team, providing the registered data and the desired card model.

ClickCard can be in charge of creating the card art or uploading an existing branding template so they can reuse it.

Even if the app does not create the card template but the creative team, admins can edit the details and contact information through the app.

ClickCard also allows customers free trials according to the visual identity of the brand, so that, in the end, it generates a model that pleases the corporation and represents it.

The team may also submit brand mockups, corporate presentations, graphic elements, and other documents, so your vision and values ​​are well represented on your digital business card.

To contact the ClickCard team, click here.

To create an interactive virtual business card, you need to provide certain user contact information. In this case, the information that the user/company wants to share with their contacts.

Some of them are: email, telephone, cell phone, WhatsApp, address, photo, name, position, website and social networks.

For users without affiliation with any company, you can add the data you want and register in the best way that your model allows.

And those who have the registration under a corporate domain, will continue with the corporate information registered by the administrator. Unless it allows the opening to fill in the data they want.

In the ClickCard application, Creator allows customization of user data on top of an existing standard template. However, with the creation of a template based on contact with the creative team, the customization of the card is complete.

In this way, the company can choose a photo, logo, background, colors, typography, format, icons and personalized graphic elements according to their preferences.

Editing of business card data after it is launched in the application is based on the base format validated by the company. In other words, after contracting a card model, it will only be subject to a personalized change after a new contact with ClickCard. However, the updating of data, such as: name, title, photo and other contact information, is done by the application itself. The development of a new background or graphic details of icons, for example, is not yet possible for the user to do.

However, customers also have the option to create alternative templates from the same business card template. That is, creating variables from your own model as a method of organization, position or simply to give your employees more freedom to choose the model they prefer.

This method includes a different customization for each variable, allowing the user to choose, from an already established graphic property, another model with unique colors, positions, typography.

After the conclusion of the edition of the two cards, the user has the freedom to share it through social networks and other communication channels.

In this way, so that each person can share the way they prefer, ClickCard created several ways to become possible. Confirm:

Each user will have a personalized link to their digital business card. With it, it is possible to share your card with social networks and direct the recipient to a web page that will not be displayed.

Nela or recipient can find out all your contact information. Also register a FAQ so that the owner can get in touch.

The personalized link is quite used in web spaces that do not allow images or files, such as Instagram biography, for example. You can share the app, access or QR Code Web.

All the elements present are not interactive, regardless of where a person or access.

Yes, another QR Code model is available, this is the QR Code Contact. Or which allows the user to share their letter from a file extension.

It is possible that all contact data present in the user's digital business card are imported to the recipient's contact book.

ClickCard also allows, such as the personalized link and the VCF file, to be shared via QR Code. Please, the receivers will access their card through the QR Code scanner or share the same image digitally or physically.

Saying that: it is not necessary for the receiver to be a user of the application in order to access his card. Both sharing media allow visualization and interactivity with the card through external access.

Furthermore, it is also possible to share your ClickCard with other users. You can do this externally or without your own application or search for the desired contact name.

ClickCard also enables new connections between users based on approximation research.

Now that we've talked about how to share the digital business card by exporting it from the app, it's time to talk about how to import it.

The ClickCard application allows imported contacts to be automatically saved in your user's address book.

The ways to do this are by scanning printed business cards, adding contacts from other users of the app, reading QR Code or embedding them manually.

Calendars are automatic, but users can customize them as they see fit.

For users using a corporate domain, there is the Company Digital Wallet functionality. In it, employees have in a separate directory the contacts of all those who use the same domain as yours.

That is, a separate agenda with all the company's employees.

Adopting ecological  measures in the workplace can sometimes be a little complicated.  There’s a lot of bureaucracy that goes into actually implementing these  idea’s into the company.

However, there are always some small habits that do not require approval and that make the routine more environmentally friendly, if everyone does their part, great results can be noticed.

In this post we’ve gathered some simple practices that can be adopted at any time.

1- Be more cautious about using the printer

One of the main sources of paper waste is due to uncontrolled use of printers.

So the idea is to think twice about printing. Is it really necessary to print all of those sheets from that document, or is it possible to select only the most important pages that you truly need?

In addition, a great solution would be to use the option of printing double sided, so the paper consumption drops by 50%.

Need to sign a document? Instead  of going through the process of printing the document, then signing and  finally having to scan it again to be able to send it to the desired  email, try using a digital signature solution. There are solutions, such as eSign Genie, that are free and allow you to add your signature directly to the PDF.

In addition to saving sheets of paper, adding your signature directly to the PDF file will save you a lot of time.

Exchange your paper to-do list  for apps on your phone that have the same functionality. Besides, you  take this list with you everywhere! You can even activate notifications on your device at specific times to remind you of the tasks that must be done.

Among a variety of apps, we recommend Trello and Todoist.

Paper business cards are increasingly becoming obsolete.  Forgot your wallet? Did you run out of cards? Do you have a lot of them  accumulated in the bottom of your drawer? In order to avoid these  situations, switch your traditional business cards to digital ones.

In addition to saving on prints and no longer having your cards thrown in the trash, using digital business cards has several other advantages, which will bring about many benefits for you and your company.

For this, we recommend our ClickCard application. In it, you can create your personalized business card in less than 5 minutes!

Many companies have the option of providing access to accounts and payment slips over the internet or offer sending them through email.

By choosing this type of service, you will reduce the amount of garbage and paper  accumulated in various folders, after all, keeping all these files  saved on your computer is much easier. In addition, you will no longer  have the risk of receiving your account overdue, that typically results  from unforeseen circumstances of postal delivery.

Did you find these habits useful and easy to execute? Share these ideas with your colleagues and start a wave of a greener work environment – each doing their part.

5 Eco Friendly Habits To Incorporate Into The Work Environment

Digital business cards are the new trend.

They are conquering the market because more and more people want to share their professional information quickly, conveniently and securely. Technology is increasingly present in the daily lives of people, and with the constant change of technology some habits must be modified in order to keep up with new trends and with the current digital age.

Below we list the 7 advantages of digital business cards and why they are increasingly used:

1. Increased retention of business cards delivered and received


About 88% of traditional business cards distributed are discarded. This occurs not because of the lack of interest in the contact of the person who delivered it, but because of the lack of places to store and organize them. Thus, when the person actually needs the contact, the card is nowhere to be found.
With digital business cards, you can save them and store them on your phone effortlessly. This allows you to find them easily, whenever you need them.

2. Environmentally friendly and sustainable 


For every 100 customers using the digital business card, two trees are saved. Therefore, by adopting digital cards, you and your company will be helping to preserve the environment.


Digital cards are responsive, that is, with just one click you are directed to make calls, send emails and enter social networks. With that, making calls, for example, becomes much more practical and you don't risk making an unwanted call by misdialing the wrong number.


Imagine that you are at an event and there you meet someone. You mention your job and that person is interested in your service, and asks for your professional contact. You check your pockets but then remember that you don't have your business cards with you, because you didn't think you would need them. Due to this little slip up, you end up losing a possible customer or lead.
However, with digital business cards this would not have happened, as you would have had it with you on your cell phone.
In the ClickCard app, you can share your contact in an unlimited way through any digital media, such as WhatsApp, social networks, sms messages, e-mail and more.


If you change your phone number or any other information, you would have to order new business cards and throw away the old ones. With the digital card, making these updates become more easy and fast, since it's instantaneous. You won't have to wait days for your new cards to arrive. It's also economical, as you won't need to pay for printing more cards. They are also ecological, since you won't have to dispose of old cards.


You will make a great impression by presenting your digital business card in an exclusive and innovative way.
When asked if you have a business card on hand, answer "No, I have something better". Then, present your digital business card. This response catches the other person's attention and is definitely an interesting start to a conversation.

7. Generates better business opportunities


Being digital, you can share your cards with people far away from you. Thus, your networking becomes more comprehensive and is not restricted only to those close to you. You will be able to deliver your data by sharing your card through the internet, such as WhatsApp, social networks, e-mail and sms messages.
