The best opportunities come to people who are the first to be found
The vCard is an internationally-established standard for sharing contact information digitally. You see vCards in action when adding contacts to your computer by clicking a file with the VCF extension, scanning the QR code with a camera app, or tapping an NFC tag with a smartphone.
Unfortunately, the moment you get a new job, move to another town, switch emails, or change your work phone number, your previous vCard files, QR codes, and NFC tags become outdated, and you — are out of reach.
Skrol fixes all that by letting you create and share virtual vCards. This way, whenever your contact information changes, anyone with the link to your virtual vCard, will still be able to contact you because they don’t expire and are always up-to-date.
Here are the other main benefits of using ‘perennial’ virtual vCards:
They establish your identity. Adding a link to your virtual vCard at the end of your email and text messages increases your chances of getting a reply because this way, you come across as credible and trustworthy.
They are more informative. Virtual vCards may include information that wouldn’t fit on a conventional business card or email signatures, such as links to your social sites, chat services, personal blogs, online portfolios, digital wallets, and others.
They simplify saving your contact information. Anyone with a link to your virtual vCards can instantly add it to their Windows, Mac, iPhone, and Android contact apps with zero typing.
They keep your contact information current. Anyone opening your folder inside their Skrol app will always see your most recent photo, phone numbers, emails, addresses, and weblinks.
They are useful everywhere. Besides emails and texts, you can add virtual vCard links to documents, blogs, websites, portfolios, and all other forms of electronic communication.
They are easy to share. Skrol lets you export high-resolution QR codes or program NFC tags with weblinks to your virtual cards. You can add these QR codes to business cards, brochures, posters, packaging, websites, billboards, etc. People can instantly view your contact information online by scanning this code or tapping the NFC tag.
They may enhance the safety of your family members and pets. You can attach printed QR codes or compact NFC tags with your emergency contact information to the personal items of young children and older adults with memory disorders or pets’ collars. This way, anyone with a smartphone can instantly scan them and contact you in an emergency.
They are not limited to just one job. You can create and publish additional virtual vCards related to second jobs, volunteer engagements, and other side hustles.
They are private. We do not collect, share, or resell your vCard(s) information to anyone and block it from all search engines and scrapers. And If required, you can delete your virtual vCards anytime.
They are protected from cloning. Virtual vCards can only be created, updated, and verified from your smartphone.
They prevent identity theft. Unlike conventional vCard files, virtual cards can include your high-resolution photo. This way, no one can pretend to be you.
They are free for life. Creating and using virtual vCards will encourage others in your personal, social, and professional circles to do the same for the mutual benefit of everyone.
They save you time and money because you no longer need to carry and reprint business cards; learn and pay for different apps or services for making QR codes, programming NFC tags, and maintaining email signatures; and, most importantly, miss career and business opportunities because people from your past can’t find you.
To summarize, virtual vCards are a perfect complement to the Skrol app and a must-have tool for anyone with a large network of social and professional connections.
