The digital business card with QR code - advantages and possible applications

You've probably seen a QR code before. Since they were developed by the company Denso in 1994, the black and white square barcodes have become part of our everyday life.

QR codes are used in many areas, but mainly for data collection. The QR code is a so-called Quick Response Code and can be read from a smartphone. Lemontaps digital business card captures all the information from you that you want to share with your future contacts. You too can leave a lasting impression!

Our digital business cards with dynamic QR code

As you edit the links and details of your digital business card over and over again, the two-dimensional code must be just as dynamic as the digital business card itself. And that's exactly why the digital business card works with a dynamic code. Unlike a static code, a dynamic code does not contain fixed data.

QR code generator needed?

If you want to create a QR code, you don't need a QR code generator. With a Lemontaps digital business card, you can combine all your contact information into a single vCard QR code. You can create your business card in a few minutes with our freetrial.

There, every step will be explained to you individually and you can't make a mistake. Get your data ready, like profile picture, logo, files, website or various links to social media profiles and enter everything online into the business card form.

This makes it easy to share your contact information with your customers, partners and colleagues with one scan.

Why should there be a Quick Response Code on my business card?

At Lemontaps you can choose between a physical NFC business card with a QR code or a QR code sticker for your smartphone. With our freetrial you get the QR code for free and you can share it directly wherever you prefer.
