Whether you're a solopreneur or part of a growing team, this tool can make a huge difference in how you show up and scale your impact.

Quote of the Day

Today’s quote is from Benjamin Franklin: “Winners expect to win in advance. Life is a self-fulfilling prophecy.”
The mindset you carry into your day shapes everything—including how you grow your business. And one way to improve that outcome is by having the right tools.

The Noise in Today’s Marketplace

We live in a world filled with distractions. Between social media, messaging apps, email, and nonstop notifications, it’s harder than ever to break through the noise. It’s not just your audience—you feel it too. Whether it’s struggling to communicate with your teenager over dinner or checking five different platforms to stay caught up, everyone is moving fast and multitasking constantly.

That makes it hard to capture attention, deliver your message, and clearly communicate your value. The good news is, there are still tools that work—if you use them well. And one of the best tools I’ve found is something you may not have fully tapped into yet: the digital business card.

Why Digital Business Cards Work

Let’s look at three major trends dominating how people interact online: mobile use, video content, and texting.

Today, more than 90% of people access the web on mobile. Two-thirds of all ecommerce traffic comes from mobile devices. Nearly half of consumers do all their shopping online. Then there’s video—84% of people say they’ve been convinced to buy something after watching a video. And texting? It blows email out of the water, with open rates of 90% or more and a much stronger response rate.

So here’s the thing—if you can combine mobile, video, and texting into one system, you’ll have a real advantage in growing your business. And that’s exactly what a digital business card can do.

What Is a Digital Business Card?

A digital business card is more than just an online version of your contact info. It’s a landing page or website that houses everything your prospect needs to take the next step: contact details, links to your website, social media, booking calendar, reviews, videos, and more.

Unlike a paper card—which usually ends up in the trash—a digital business card is a tool that can drive real business. It lives on your phone, can be shared instantly via a tap, QR code, or link, and most importantly, it gives people a full picture of who you are and how you can help them.

I’ve partnered with a company called ePipe, which offers NFC digital business cards—cards that allow you to tap someone’s phone and instantly transfer your info. Think of it like the tap-to-pay chip in your bank card. But this is just one way to deliver the card. You can also share it via link, text, social media, or QR code.

‍

Now let me walk you through three major benefits of using a digital business card in your business.

1. Contact and Connect More Professionally

Traditional business cards are expensive, outdated, and rarely leave an impression. Digital cards, on the other hand, let you fully brand your image. You can add custom colors, logos, headshots, and even intro videos. Want your contact saved in someone’s phone with one click? You can do that. Want them to send you their contact info, book an appointment, or call you with one tap? That’s possible too.

For example, one of our clients used a QR code on the jumbotron at a football game to send people directly to a donation page. That page lived inside their digital business card and allowed them to collect donations in real time while people were watching the game.

2. Capture and Convert More Leads

Paper cards don’t help you collect leads. A digital business card can capture name, email, phone number—even drop people directly into your calendar or email list. With video and a structured layout, your prospect doesn’t have to “go Google you” or hunt around for more info. It’s all there in one place, ready to guide them through the next step in the buying process.

You can even track what people click, segment them into groups, and send follow-up messages automatically.

For instance, a large client of ours used digital cards at a tradeshow for Disney travel agents. Their reps simply tapped a phone or handed out a QR code. Each interaction created a digital lead and directed the user to the exact info they needed—without the reps having to follow up manually.

3. Communicate More Effectively

Communication is everything in business. With a digital business card, you can keep your customers engaged through ongoing updates, new offers, and consistent messaging. Imagine sending out a weekly message or video, pointing your customers to a new property listing, a product launch, or a limited-time offer—all from your business card.

You can even automate these communications. With platforms like ePipe, you can tag leads, group them, and run automated text or email campaigns directly tied to the contact information you collected through your card.

That’s a huge advantage over paper cards or even basic websites. It’s not just about first impressions—it’s about staying connected, nurturing the relationship, and closing the sale.

You can brand it, add your photo, and customize your page with videos, links, social buttons, and lead capture forms. Use it at events, with your team, or simply in your everyday networking to turn conversations into conversions.

You’ll find the link in the show notes. Tap the link or scan the QR code to claim your free card.

Final Thoughts

If you’re trying to build momentum in a crowded, noisy world, you need every edge you can get. A digital business card isn’t just a tech gimmick—it’s a tool for growth. It helps you be seen, be remembered, and be chosen.

So make the shift. Ditch the paper. Go digital. And start generating leads, closing deals, and communicating like a pro.
