In the fast-paced, eco-conscious, digital-first world of 2025, traditional paper business cards are facing serious competition. Enter: the Digital Business Card. But what’s really better — the old-school card stock or the tech-savvy tap? Let’s break it down.
👀 Or if you’d rather watch the answer, TAPiTAG CEO Mark Gibbons lays it all out in this quick video:
🆚 Paper Business Cards: The Old Guard
Paper business cards have been around for centuries. They're simple, cheap, and familiar. But in 2025, they’re starting to feel a bit… well, dated. Here’s why:
-
❌ They get lost or tossed — how many cards actually make it past the bottom of a briefcase?
-
❌ No interactivity — no links, no media, no instant contact saving
-
❌ Not eco-friendly — millions of cards printed, and most end up in the bin
-
❌ Expensive over time — especially with updates, rebrands, or new hires
🚀 Digital Business Cards: The Modern Upgrade
Digital Business Cards like those from TAPiTAG are changing the way professionals connect — with just one tap.
✅ Benefits of Digital Business Cards:
-
📱 Instant sharing – Send your contact info, website, portfolio, socials, and more
