And while paper business cards are still commonplace, there's a new type of business card that's quickly gaining popularity: the <a href="/" title="electronic business card" rel="">electronic business card</a>, or e-card.</span></p><p style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-family:lato;"><a href="/" title="E-cards" rel="">E-cards</a> are digital versions of traditional paper business cards.

No more fumbling around with paper cards - now exchanging contact information is quick and easy.</span></p><h2 style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-family:lato;">Benefits of Electronic Business Cards</span></h2><p style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-family:lato;">There are many benefits of using <b><a href="/" title="electronic business cards" rel="">electronic business cards</a></b> over traditional paper cards.

Usually, </span><a href="https://blog.adobe.com/en/publish/2016/10/26/4-business-card-statistics-that-will-make-you-rethink-your-strategy"><span style="font-size:11pt;">88% of paper visiting cards are trashed in a short span</span></a><span style="font-size:11pt;">, by the receiver.</span></span></p><p style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-family:lato;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">Digital Business Cards can be shared unlimited times, following a simple process. To any remote person even.</span><br/></span></p><h3 style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:4pt;"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-weight:700;font-family:lato;">Environmental effects</span></h3><p style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:lato;">Paper visiting cards reduce the trees, and increase toxins in the form of lead based inks etc.</span></p><p style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-family:lato;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">With digital-based cards, no trees or other forms of environmental hazard are created. Environment supporters love getting such cards.

Still, the chances of getting business is a big concern.</span></p><p style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-family:lato;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">Digital Business Cards stand out the moment you share one because not every customer of yours receives it frequently. Also the ease of use is high.</span><br/></span></p><h3 style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:4pt;"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-weight:700;font-family:lato;">Stickiness</span></h3><p style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:lato;">Receivers spend less than a minute reading and looking at your paper business card.</span></p><p style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-family:lato;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">Digital Business Cards make receivers spend more time with the card, maybe because most of the time they are on the phone and are attracted to seeing something new.</span><br/></span></p><p><span style="color:inherit;font-family:lato;"></span></p><div style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:11pt;"><br/></span></div></div>
