As an alternative to carrying around physical, printed business cards, professionals may now choose to use a paperless business card app like '100AM.'
With this app, users are able to create their own dynamic business cards with photos, GIFs and videos. Because these digital business cards do not need to be reprinted in batches when a change is needed, they can be instantly updated with relevant contact information and shared with business contacts.
When it comes to sharing one's digital business card via 100AM with a new contact, it's as simple as sending a card via email, SMS, Bluetooth or even geolocation. The app also makes it possible to share the card with paper business card owners using a feature called 'print2digital.'
