Digital business cards are quickly becoming the new standard for modern networking. They’re cleaner, more convenient, and a whole lot easier to share than paper cards that end up lost, wrinkled, or tossed.
But here’s the thing:
While digital business cards solve the format problem, they don’t always solve the connection problem.
If you’re exploring digital business cards—or wondering whether the one you’re using is the right fit—here’s what to look for, along with a smarter option you may not have considered.
A good digital business card shouldn’t require an app download or a tutorial. It should be effortless.
The basics to look for:
Because if people can’t access your card quickly, they won’t use it.
Most digital business cards simply digitize what used to be printed: a headshot, a few lines of info, and a handful of links.
Here’s the problem: that’s not memorable.
A digital card should help someone remember who you are—not just what you do. Look for something that highlights your personality, your story, or your uniqueness in a way text alone never can.
Clean, clutter-free design matters.
Your card should be easy to skim, easy to navigate, and pleasant to look at. If it feels crowded or overwhelming, people won’t stick around long enough to learn about you.
A digital card should make follow-up easier, not put more work on the other person.
The best cards offer:
Because realistically, most connections fade simply because life gets busy.
Your digital card should work:
If you can’t share it easily across all the places you network, it’s not doing its full job.
Clicks and views are nice—but they don’t tell you much.
Truly useful analytics help you understand:
This is how you turn a “nice to meet you” moment into a meaningful follow-up.
Now that you know what matters in a digital business card, here’s the honest truth:
Most digital business cards only check half these boxes.
They share your information, but they don’t help you connect, stand out, or be remembered. And that’s exactly why PitchCards were created. PitchCards bring everything above together, but with something traditional digital cards simply can’t match:
A human, memorable introduction.
Your 59-second pitch makes you unforgettable. People see you. They hear you. They feel your energy. It’s the closest thing to meeting face-to-face.
You see who watched, how much they watched, what they clicked, and when they came back. That’s powerful insight into who’s interested.
In person. Online. In your email. On social. At events. On your website.
Your PitchCard becomes a living, breathing part of your personal brand.
If you’re just looking to digitize your info, any digital business card will do.
But if you want to:
…PitchCards are built for exactly that.
Because in a world full of digital noise, the most effective networking tool is still the one that helps you show up as your most authentic, human self.
