How do we plan to do this? No rocket science. Simple and easy digital-business cards that will help you to create and share digital business cards whenever you meet a potential contact. These e-cards contain all the necessary contact information and a lot more that is digitally shared if and when you choose to share your business card.

You can modify your card whenever you want, by adding more information and achievements.

Another crucial part of staying at the top of your game is networking- a paramount feature in today’s world, so why would anyone willingly want to miss out on that. With the advent of technology, it would be criminal not to use it in every possible way. Having an e-card will, of course, take you numerous steps ahead in your networking skills but aren’t you afraid of your card getting lost in the digital jungle.

Commonly send automated introduction templates as messages on Twitter & Facebook?
With us, you can now ensure that you add your digital business card to that message. This will not only help others in remembering you more easily, but also being able to view full details about you and your business — taking you further from just contact sharing to actual networking.

Linkcards is definitely the ultimate app that will give you an edge over the others in your corporate space.
Following are the features that make Linkcards what it is:

1. Easy Creation and Transfer of Information: Once you sign in with your Google or Facebook accounts, the app will create a business card by default with your name and email id on it. This card will act as a basic layout for you to create your personalised business card. You can now add the logo, banner, and template of your company. All the contact details that need to be shared can be added to the card. You can also attach your social media profile URLs, as well as media like brochures, PPTs, and resumes. Thus, you can create a completely customized business card with all the basic personal and professional information that is instantly shared as soon as you choose to do so. This would be otherwise impossible in physical cards where the information being shared is limited.

2. Instant Sharing: Once your business card is ready, you can turn on auto-sharing which will ensure your card is automatically shared as soon as you receive one from someone. If you’re an Android user you can also have a designated widget on the home screen that can share your digital card with just one tap, without even opening the app on the phone. (iOS users — worry not — this feature is coming soon to iOS as well!).
Thus, there is a lot more convenience and surety that comes into play because of LinkCards.

3. Availability of Sharing Options: You can choose to share the card with the bucket ids of all the other Linkcards users or via Nearby and platforms such as WhatsApp. Linkcards is thus helping you in sharing cards not only with your contacts but also with the ones whom you have not known but yet could be potentially helpful. You can also share your cards offline via SMS. We are revolutionising networking in more ways than one!

4. Paper Cards Storage: For physical cards, you can scan them with the help of the app’s inbuilt feature. The app will then store the card with the contact details in separate folders. The problem of paper cards storage is solved too!

5. Maintaining and Finding Contacts: You can search for any contact or business card by using variables like name, designation or the name of the company. In the event of a memory lapse, Linkcards has got your back!
