Covid 19 and Business Cards: where are we now?

Business cards are slowly going out of fashion… or are they?

An article from the BBC - “Has Covid killed off business cards for good?” suggests in a post-covid world, because of the momentous shift towards touch-free digital life, tangible marketing items like affordable business cards are being replaced with online marketing techniques and solutions like QR Codes and digital marketing.

It seems the debate between online vs physical marketing rages on, with more people discussing whether items like folded laminated leaflets and Premium business cards have a place in the world post-pandemic.

QR Code Business Cards

A simple yet effective solution to all this was discussed earlier, in the form of QR Code business cards. QR Code business cards are antibacterial and have a printed QR Code on the design for additional information that couldn’t fit onto the Business Card’s dimensions.

It is a perfect solution for those who rely on business cards to help improve sales and for clients who want to learn more information on who they’re working with.

Maintaining business card traditions after Covid-19

Not only are they a practical solution, but they hold traditional weight as well. In many East-Asian countries from China to Japan, it’s habitual to offer a business card exchange as a sign of respect and equality. Having this over a zoom call doesn't have the same impact, does it?

It’s vital to maintain traditions and rituals but to adapt them to modern society, antibacterial business cards are perfect for this as they safely allow you to provide your business card with a minimised risk of bacteria spread.
