Small businesses often rely on word of mouth. A digital business card helps customers find your details easily and share them with others. It is a single page that holds your name, services, location, contact options and links, and it can be updated at any time without reprinting.
Why a digital card helps
Printed cards get lost, and details change. A digital card is always available on the customer's phone. You can share it as a link or QR code on your shop counter, packaging, invoices, social media posts and WhatsApp status. Customers can tap to call, message or get directions.
What to include
- Business name and logo: the same one you use on your shop board.
- Short description: one or two lines about what you offer, such as "Home-style tiffin service in Indore, vegetarian meals".
- Contact buttons: phone call, WhatsApp, email.
- Location: address, map link and landmarks.
- Opening hours: include holidays or special timings.
- Services or products: a short list with prices or "starting from" prices if you wish.
- Social and review links: Instagram, Facebook or your Google Business Profile.
- Payment information: the ways customers can pay. Share UPI IDs carefully and only from official, verified places.
Choose clear photos
Add a clear photo of your shop front, your products or yourself. Photos make a business feel real and help customers recognise the place. Avoid blurry or heavily edited images.
Keep text short and local
Customers read on phones. Use simple language in the languages your customers speak, and keep each section brief. Add area names people search for, such as the neighbourhood or city.
Create a QR code
A QR code lets people open your card by scanning. Use our free QR code generator to make one. Test it with two different phones before printing. Print it large enough, with a clear border, and place it where customers can see it easily: at the counter, on the door, on bills and in your social media bio.
Share it everywhere
- Put the link in your WhatsApp Business profile and status.
- Add it to your Instagram bio and Google Business profile.
- Include it in messages after a sale: "Save our number and see our menu here".
- Print the QR code on packaging or flyers.
Collect reviews ethically
Ask happy customers to leave a review on your Google profile or social page. Do not offer money for positive reviews, and never write fake ones. Honest reviews bring long-term trust.
Keep it updated
Update timings, prices and offers when they change. Remove old offers. A card with wrong information frustrates customers. Check the page every month from a phone and test each button.
Protect your privacy
Share only business contact details, not personal ones you do not want public. If you are a home-based business, consider a separate number. A Pehchan profile can act as your digital card with call, WhatsApp, map and social buttons in one place, so customers never have to search for the right link.
