One Tap Beats Eight Links: Designing a Digital Business Card
Episode 5233
Published 3 weeks, 6 days ago
Description
Daniel's heading to a networking event with a box of unused business cards and a question: what should he bring instead? On this episode, we dig into why most digital card pages fail — they hand the recipient eight options and hope for the best — and what the data says about single-action design. We look at NFC card economics, the vendor lock-in hidden in every commercial card service, the surprising environmental math on paper versus plastic, and the regional realities that make WhatsApp the default in Israel and WeChat the default in China. Plus: the social function of the paper card that no QR code can replicate, and why the accordion interface Daniel proposed might thread the needle.
