Goes with your card
PDF QR codes
The document you would have emailed later is the one that never gets sent. A code hands it over while you are still standing there.
"I’ll send it over" is where it ends
You promise the brochure, the price list, the portfolio. Then the day happens. By the time you remember, the person has either chosen someone else or forgotten the conversation that made them interested.
They have it before you part
Scanning opens a page with the document, readable on the phone and downloadable in a tap. You can set it to open the file immediately instead, which suits a price list where the page is only a step in the way.
What changes for your business
Not what it is. What is different once people are using it.
The follow-up stops being a task
Nothing to send, nothing to remember, nothing sitting in drafts. The thing you were going to email is already on their phone.
The out-of-date version stops circulating
Upload the new price list and the same code serves it. Last season’s prices stop being quoted back at you by someone holding a code from a trade show.
One card does the job of a folder
For anyone who sells from a catalogue, a card with a PDF code replaces carrying printed copies to every meeting.
Where it sits on the card
Best as a second code beside the card: the card is you, this is what you do.
Questions people ask
Can I replace the file later?
Yes. Upload a new version and the same code serves it from then on. Anyone who scans an old printed card gets the current document.
Does it work for a CV?
It is one of the better uses. A code on a printed CV or a portfolio lets someone keep the file after the interview, when the paper copy goes in a pile.
Can I see how many people opened it?
Scans are counted with the day they happened, so you can tell whether a document was actually looked at after an event.
