Digital Business Card Service ...
-
Our Sales Director asked me about getting digital business card. He had a customer that was using Blinq which he liked.
A few others that I found were HiHello, Linq and Tappy.
Has anyone used Blinq or others? What has your experience been with them?
-
No, not used any. I think digital business cards are weird. While there is some value somewhere, I think that they miss much of the point of business cards and don't meet the needs like paper does.
-
Yeah, I don’t get this. If it is digital, I likely have your email. I don’t need anything else.

Much of the point of the physical card is to make a mental pathway in the human, not the phone, which builds a memory and enforces the connection. That's why we use paper, the way it interacts with the person.
Paper cards can always have all the info you want AND a QR code to allow for the digital transfer in a more universal way. That digital card isn't going to work with a laptop very likely. I have no idea how they work, as I've never had someone attempt to use one. If my phone is dead or not on me, it's useless. If my phone doesn't have your app, it's useless (I presume.) If I don't have the right kind of phone, I'm annoyed that you made me keep trying something you've not tested. Paper is universal and works.
Also, not me, but I know a lot of people who use paper cards as little note cards to write additional info on. Can't do that with the digital.
