Many LinkedIn users also sign up for digital Business Cards, where information is regularly updated and available across many different platforms. The result is fewer outdated cell or phone numbers or misplaced Business Cards.
Digital cards keep professionals, especially in the contract, freelance or consulting businesses, able to revise their contact information instantly. In the mining industry in Timmins, with its proximity to mining industry and employees working short term with many different companies or going on special assignments, constantly changing contact information is quicker via a digital business card format.
Digital Business Cards allow users in Timmins and elsewhere deliver contact information through wireless technologies via smart phones, emails or texts delivered to an internet-based address book. BusinessCard2 is a common application used in this manner.
Recently, a BMP Forum survey discovered that approximately 80 per cent of prospects can be lost because contact information is lost or misplaced, with no back up to recover lost Business Cards.
Steve Ennen, managing director of University of Pennsylvania's The Wharton Interactive Media Initiative believes digital Business Cards will move forward:
"There's a real world, practical application for it," he says. "We have decades and centuries of learned behavior to overcome."
