The digital business card as a medium for your communication
Mc Luhans once said: "The medium is the message". By this he meant that it is not necessarily what is said that is essential for communication, but with which medium it is communicated.
What role does the digital business card play in business communication?
In addition to quality and performance, communication represents an important factor of any business. Communication with your customers, your employees and your business partners must be clear and effective to ensure that everyone is on the same page.
The first important step in successful communication is the connection of two or more people who each have a goal to get in touch with each other. To do this, each needs the contact details of the other.
Possibilities of exchange
There are many ways to exchange business information with each other: Via email, in a chat, via Zoom Call or even Facebook. You send an invitation to a next event online, then gladly add your free QR code at the end and enjoy your gained traffic and new contacts. The business card opens the way to get to your contact and find out about them to ensure a successful exchange.
The digital business card - the epitome of comprehensibility
Have you ever heard of Friedemann Schulz von Thun? He clearly defined the principle of comprehensibility in his work "talking to each other". Pay attention to the following 4 characteristics so that recipients understand you.
