Clinging to traditional paper business cards slows down your career advancement and business growth. You can only share basic information using a paper business card.

Popl digital business cards provide an efficient, convenient, and eco-friendly way of sharing contact and business information. You can instantly share your name, contact details, email address, and more in one tap of your Polp digital business card or scan the dynamic QR code.

Let’s look at how professionals across the globe use Popl digital business cards to connect and generate more leads and sales.

To Direct Customers to Online Platforms

Digital marketing is one of the powerful ways of putting your brand on the map and competing effectively with other brands. A digital business card will get your foot in the door by enabling seamless sharing of your contact info.

Unlike the traditional paper business card, Popl digital business card lets you include links to online platforms like your website, landing page, payment apps, service pages, social media pages, and more.

Personal branding is the secret recipe to success in your career and business. How you package and portray yourself to potential customers will determine whether they will engage and do business with you.
