You have arrived at the perfect place to create your most professional digital card. No matter the use you want to give it, we are here to help you make it a reality.
First of all, we want to give you some context about the use of QR codes, their purpose, most frequent uses, and limitations so you can better understand this technology.
Purpose of digital card
QR codes allow you to share information very quickly with the people you want, without having to share anything physically; we can say it is a contactless information sharing.
Because of this, their use has increased exponentially due to the situation in which we have stopped sharing paper or materials that have been touched by others, making these digital cards a great way to solve a recent problem due to the global pandemic.
Most frequent uses of digital card
We can highlight two major types of uses where we have been applying this technology:
Professional use of digital card
The most frequent in general. Companies have benefited from the use of digital cards in various sectors:
- Restaurants
- Franchises
- Hotels
- Events
- Business cards
- Product catalog
The most important purpose is to share information with a client and allows sharing very interesting information on mobile phones.
Personal use of digital cards
With the popularization of digital cards, other personal or leisure uses have emerged, generally anything that can facilitate the exchange of information.
- Congratulations
- Photo exchange
- Audio exchange
- Video exchange
- Wish list
These uses are continuously evolving, and it will be where we can see great innovation in the coming years.
Limitations of digital card
It should be noted that this technology dates back to the 90s and that today there are very few alternatives. Thanks to the camera on our mobile phones, its use has become democratized, but it is not free from limitations; two of them can be clearly highlighted:
- The biggest problem with this technology is that the mobile phones that scan the QR code must have data availability since each QR code accesses an internet address; this can be a major limitation for some usage scenarios: issues with poor coverage, use within an airplane or ship, for example.
- On the other hand, each QR code that is generated will depend on the content it points to, so when you change the content you will have to change the physical QR as well. This last point is a significant problem when printing QR codes since all signage will have to be reprinted again.
Avoid this major limitation with our digital cards; with our QR code generation service, you can rest assured that the code will not change if you make changes to its content.
