What is a dot business card?

Hmm, I'm not sure (yet) that this would be a potentially great product for us to design?

A Dot business card is a modern, digital alternative to traditional paper business cards. It typically involves using a physical card or device equipped with Near Field Communication (NFC) technology and sometimes QR codes. When someone taps their smartphone against your Dot card or scans the QR code, your contact information, social media profiles, or a personalized landing page is instantly shared with them.

Here's how it works:

  • NFC Technology: The Dot card contains an NFC chip that can transmit data to smartphones that have NFC capabilities (most modern smartphones do).
  • QR Codes: For phones that don't support NFC, a QR code on the card can be scanned to access the same information.
  • Digital Profile: You can customize the information that gets shared—such as your name, phone number, email, website, and social media links.
  • Eco-Friendly: Since it's reusable, it reduces the need for printing multiple paper business cards.

Dot is one of several companies offering these innovative networking tools, aiming to make exchanging contact information seamless and environmentally friendly.

Customers can simply create a QR code that incorporates Vcard information via a free 3rd party site. Then download and replace a QR Code image placeholder you incorporate in your business card design template.
