Will There Be a Time When the Business Card Goes Electronic?
The increasing number of commercial transactions that are being carried out through the electronic media that the Internet represents are slowly but definitely changing the way we conduct our lives. Not only in a personal manner or the way we interact with those around us, but also in the way that we work and provide for our families and ourselves.
So much so, that in the past we used to have customised Christmas cards printed, we used to address them and write on them personal messages directed to those people that we love so much. Nowadays, people will log into a specific greeting card website and send hundreds of animated or still emails that will contain a link to an additional place where our Christmas card is located.
The same applies to our purchases; we can have products from across the world delivered to our doorstep in just a matter of weeks, and we can even pay for them in a matter of seconds without even having to leave our desk or chair. Communicating and contacting those that are dear to us once required dialling a phone number, walking to a house or writing and mailing a letter; now, all it takes is logging into a chat room or writing an email, and we can have an answer from that special someone just as quick.
If our personal life has changed that much, the way business is conducted by businesses in the world has to change too. As a result of this, even business cards have changed; most of the instant messaging programs such as the ones that you can use online, for example MSN, Yahoo and ICQ, have an option for the user to upload and create their own business card as an additional form of promotion.
The same thing applies to most email service providers, and even some cellular phones have this particular feature. Such a trend is reinforced by the ecological tidal wave that has been launched in all media and business worlds to use electronic media instead of paper and other consumables that require manufacturing processes that are said to pollute the air, soil and water of the world. Therefore, it is understandable to see that in a future not far away, business cards will become an electronic medium just like the Internet and emails.
Yet, just as with any other electronic media, electronic business cards will require to be a novelty, attention-catching and modern, otherwise they will be dismissed, just as today the paper variety are dismissed if they possess a lack flair. While business cards with just the name of the company and the relevant data will not be necessary or used anymore, attention grabbers such as animated graphics and even textured images will be the trendsetter for electronic business cards.
The dawn of the electronic Business Card is yet to come, however, it will happen and the business, company or independent professional that wants to thrive and bloom in the middle of this electronic birth has to keep up with the changing times.
