A digital business card is a modern, shareable profile that lets people save your contact info, tap your links, and download your vCard instantly — usually through a QR code. With QRown, your digital business card is a clean, mobile-friendly profile you can update anytime without reprinting.
What Is a Digital Business Card?
Think of it as an online “contact hub” that replaces (or upgrades) a paper card. Instead of handing someone a piece of paper and hoping they type everything in, you share a single link or QR code that opens a profile with:
- Tap-to-save contact: Download a vCard and save it to their phone in seconds.
- One-tap actions: Call, text, email, directions, and social links.
- Always up to date: Change your number, title, or links without reprinting.
- Trackable engagement (optional): See scans and top taps to learn what’s working.
Why Digital Beats Paper (Most of the Time)
- No typing errors: People save the correct info, the first time.
- More than a phone number: Add booking, menus, portfolios, payment links, and more.
- Better follow-through: “Scan + save” is easier than “take this and remember me.”
- Works anywhere: Business cards, email signatures, invoices, packaging, badges, signage.
Digital Business Card vs “Link in Bio”
Link pages are great for content creators. A digital business card is optimized for real-world contact sharing: saving a contact, calling/texting, directions, and quick actions. QRown is built around that “meet someone → save contact” moment.
How QR Codes Fit In
A QR code business card makes your digital card effortless to share: one scan and your profile opens instantly. Use the same QR code on business cards, table tents, your front desk, and even your email signature.
- Print once, update forever: Keep the same QR, update your QRown profile anytime.
- Faster conversions: Fewer steps between “interest” and “action”.
- Brandable: Match colors, add a logo, and keep it looking professional.
vCard + QR Code: The “Save Contact” Combo
A vCard is the contact file (VCF) phones use to add someone to contacts. When your QR links to a QRown profile, visitors can tap once to download your vCard and save you properly — not as a screenshot they forget later.
What to Put on a Great Digital Business Card
- Core contact: Name, title, company, phone, email.
- Fast actions first: Call / Text / Email / Directions / Save Contact.
- 1–3 priority links: Booking, portfolio, menu, reviews, payment link, lead form.

FAQs
Do digital business cards work without an app?
Yes — QRown profiles open in the browser, so people don’t need to install anything.
Are QR code business cards trackable?
They can be. With QRown, you can review scans and taps so you know what’s getting engagement.
What’s better: linking directly to a vCard or to a profile?
A profile is usually better because it supports actions (call/text/directions) and still includes a vCard download.
