QR Codes for Business Cards

The contact card that updates itself.

A business card is a bet that nothing about you will change before the box runs out. Then you get promoted, switch companies, or your number changes carriers, and there's a drawer of expensive cardstock quietly turning into landfill. A vCard QR code moves your details off the card and onto a page you control. The card stays exactly the same; your job title, phone number, and links don't have to.

The bigger change isn't really about avoiding reprints; it's about what happens in the ten seconds after you hand someone a card. Almost nobody types a phone number in from a printed card anymore; they either forget to, or they photograph the card and never look at the photo again. A vCard QR code turns that moment into a single tap: name, job title, company, phone, email, and website land directly in the other person's Contacts app, spelled correctly, with nothing to transcribe. Worth knowing upfront: the vCard format here covers those core fields well but doesn't currently include a profile photo; if putting a face to the saved contact matters to you, that's still down to the conversation, not something the scan itself carries.
