10 Reasons Why You Need an Online Business Card

The business cards of today have been around for many years and let’s face it, most people are annoyed by them but there hasn’t been a viable alternative. Information on a business card does not stay updated. Recipients don’t like carrying them around. Trees are killed and cards get tossed out.

Enter the next generation business card, an online business card on your very own domain name. Yes digital and online versions were attempted before, but none were under your own domain name. Now that’s how you appear professional and easily accessible.

I’m talking about the recently launched .tel technology that allows you to become the proud owner of your own www.yourname.tel. You’ve probably guessed it, you access your online business card just like you would a normal website and that’s why it’s so cool. People can simply launch the browser and type in your .tel name and voila, you’re right there. They can then go on to select the many ways to contact you or just look at your information and qualifications.

Without further ado, here are 10 reasons why you must get your own now.

1. Yourname.tel loads lightning fast on a mobile phone.

Sure people can go to yourname.tel on their computer, but if they want to quickly contact you or quickly check out your info with their mobile phone, they can do that easily. People take their cell phones with them everywhere so you want to stay accessible with your own .tel.

2. All your contact info are clickable.

If a person decides to contact you while looking at your .tel info on their cell phone, they click (or tap) on your phone number and their phone immediately calls you. If they want to skype you, they click on your skype. If they need to email you, they click on your email address. If they want to contact you via facebook, they click on your facebook. If they want to see where you are, they click on the map. You get the idea. It’s not possible to click on paper business cards and make your phone auto dial, but you can with .tel.

3. You don’t have to worry about web hosting.

If you know how websites work, you’re probably thinking, “How can this be?” That’s how cool .tel is. Information is stored in the DNS so there’s no need to pay for webhosting.

4. It’s easy, you don’t have to worry about web designing. Just log in and fill out your info.

How can it be that easy? Again, information is entered into the DNS so paying for web designing is not necessary.

5. It’s affordable.

You can register your own .tel name for the cost of a dinner and have it running almost immediately.

6. You can add information about yourself or your business.

Informative details like hours, rates, directions, restaurant menu, and even your resume may be added.

7. Just give out yourname.tel and people will remain updated to contact info changes.

You don’t have to call everyone when your phone number or email changes. If they have your .tel name, they’ll remain updated as long as you keep your .tel updated.

8. People don’t need to memorize your phone number.

They can call you by going straight to your .tel name, which is way easier to remember than your phone number and they can be confident they’re calling you and not some old out of service number. Dialing phone numbers should be out of fashion by now.

9. Public or Private.

You can make your business discoverable to the world if you like. Google can visit your .tel and list it in their search engine if that’s your wish. You could also make some information private for VIPs or friends and family.

10. No two .tel can be the same.

This means that if you and another business or person have the same name, you risk losing your name to them. Grab it before it’s taken because every .tel name must be unique.

Heck, keep using traditional business cards if you really love them. You can have your .tel name printed on paper business cards or you can scribble it on a piece of napkin. You can decide. If you print your .tel name on paper business cards, you won’t have to worry that your cards are outdated. Your .tel will keep them up to date. Now go get yourname.tel or businessname.tel before someone beats you to it. You’ll enjoy it and your colleagues will envy you.
