Digital vs paper business cards
A paper business card holds a few lines and goes out of date when your details change. A digital business card opens a page you can edit any time, with your photo, links and a Save Contact button. Paper needs no phone at all, so it still has a place. KONEK is a physical card too, so you can hand it over like paper and let the page behind it stay current.
Side by side
| Paper card | Digital card (KONEK) | |
|---|---|---|
| Changing your details | Reprint the cards | Edit the page; the card stays the same |
| What fits | Name, number and a few lines | Photo, bio, up to 20 links, social icons, Save Contact |
| Saving your details | The other person types them in | One tap on Save Contact |
| Seeing how it is used | No way to tell | Taps and link clicks are counted, not who |
| Needs a phone | No | Yes: the other person's phone reads NFC or scans the QR code |
| Cost over time | Each reprint | Paid once from ₱899, no monthly fee today |
When paper is still the better choice
- The other person has no smartphone, or their phone is off or flat
- You only ever need to share a name and number that never change
- You will hand out hundreds of cards at a cost of a few pesos each
Many people carry both. A KONEK card is a physical card, so you can still hand it across the table.
When a digital card wins
- Your number, job or links change, and you do not want to reprint
- You meet many people and want them to save your contact in one tap
- You want to show more than a name: a portfolio, a menu, a booking link, your socials
- You want to know how many people tapped your card and which links they clicked
Questions
Is a digital business card professional?
It can be. The page carries your photo, role and links, and you can style it to match your brand. How it looks depends on the page you build.
Is a digital business card worth it?
If your details change, you meet many people, or you want links and a Save Contact button on your card, yes. If you rarely hand out cards and nothing about you changes, a paper card may be enough.
Do I pay a monthly fee?
No. You pay for your card once. Your profile, Save Contact and Konek Count are included, with no monthly fees today. KONEK keeps growing, and more in-depth features may come with monthly fees later. Any shipping fee is shown in your total before you pay.
Can I change my details after I buy?
Yes, anytime. No reprint needed.
