What is a digital business card?
Digital business cards are electronic versions of traditional paper business cards. Instead of handing out physical cards, you can share your contact information with people you meet directly from your phone via a scannable QR code.
Accessing and saving your card
Find your card in the employee directory on this page, or visit ymcadetroit.org/people/firstname-lastname. You can also save your card to your phone’s home screen and access it offline.
Here’s how:
- Open the web browser on your phone and navigate to your card.
- Once the page has fully loaded, tap on the browser’s menu button (typically represented by three dots or lines on Android Device, or the box with up arrow icon in Safari) to access page saving options.
- Look for an option called “Add to Home Screen” or “Add Shortcut.” This option may be located under the “Share” or “More” menu.
- Tap on “Add to Home Screen” or “Add Shortcut.” A pop-up window may appear, asking you to confirm or customize the shortcut.
- Review the details of the new shortcut, like the name or icon, and make any desired changes.
- Once you’re satisfied, tap “Add” or “OK” to create the shortcut on your home screen.
- Your business card should now appear as an icon or tile on your home screen, just like any other app.
- Whenever you access your card, simply tap on the shortcut, and the browser will open directly to that webpage.
Note that the specific steps may vary slightly depending on your device’s operating system and the web browser you are using. However, most modern smartphones and browsers support this feature in a similar manner.
