Most professionals still hand out paper cards. The problem is they rarely lead anywhere.
88% of paper cards are thrown away within a week. That means most of your networking effort disappears almost immediately.
Digital cards fix that. They stay accessible, trackable, and usable long after the first interaction.
Cost Comparison
| Factor | Paper | Digital |
|---|---|---|
| Cost per use | High | Low |
| Reprints | Required | None |
| Updates | Costly | Instant |
| Tracking | None | Built-in |
Digital cards cost significantly less over time and scale far better.
