Mobilo: The Digital Business Card You Need To Know About

Have you heard? The traditional business card is undergoing a profound transformation. Thanks to Mobilo, gone are the days of looking like a failed magician—fumbling around to find a flimsy piece of paper peppered with splotches of bourbon left behind after one too many at last month’s tech conference.

Mobilo card is revolutionizing how professionals and entrepreneurs connect and exchange information. And you’re going to love it. I promise. Even if you are a boomer (no offense intended).

Keep reading as I delve deep into the world of digital business cards, exploring how Mobilo are offering efficiency, eco-friendliness, and a myriad of features that empower individuals to make lasting impressions in today’s fast-paced, digital-first business landscape.

Key Takeaways

In an era where digitalization continues to reshape the way we conduct business and network, traditional paper business cards are increasingly taking a back seat. And I’m fully onboard. Let’s be honest, who really wants to carry around hundreds of pocket-sized pieces of card that often end up in the trash can or forgotten about in the jacket of a high-flying director?

Digital business cards are the way forward, and Mobilo has its fingers firmly on the pulse. Which is why I’m going to be introducing you to the brand’s tech-savvy tools that are becoming a game-changer in professional networking. More specifically, I’ll be taking you through the plethora of benefits that make the Mobilo card a compelling investment for individuals and businesses alike.

What is a Mobilo?

The Mobilo card is a smart digital business card and a sustainable alternative to traditional paper business cards. Better for the environment, hassle-free, and 100% cooler than its predecessor, it uses an internal near-field communication (NFC) chip to wirelessly send your details by tapping onto a compatible phone. Alternatively, there’s a QR code you can scan.

A contact field will appear (I know, cool. Right?), and all of your information will be automatically pre-populated and ready to save and use when required. But the magic doesn’t stop there. You can even send people to a landing page or URL. Once that information is shared, it can be easily disseminated to one of the 5,000+ customer relationship management (CRM) tools, meaning that information can’t get lost. I told you it was good, didn’t I?

Why do you need a Mobilo Card?

Did you know companies spend around $200k per year on business cards (per 1,000 employees), while 7 million trees are cut down to provide the paper required to make them? Pretty shocking, isn’t it? Mobilo card is the sustainable answer.

The digital business card allows you to share your contact details, gather leads, and connect to thousands of apps and CRM tools with just one single tap. It stores all the required data (encrypted, I should add) on a fully customizable design that can be reused for eternity.

But hold your horses, partner. That’s not all. The Mobilo card is far more than a convenient way to exchange contact details. It acts as a sales productivity tool, able to send potential clients and co-workers branded landing pages with links, videos, sign-up forms, and those detailed presentations you spent the last fortnight putting together.

Perhaps its best feature is Teams. Aimed specifically at businesses, it helps you work better together by measuring, monitoring, and managing your teams’ networking efforts via admin control panels that can track performance metrics, control user profiles, and organize members by group, department, or location.

Find a Mobilo Plan That Fits Your Needs

Before you proudly wave goodbye to the stacks of business cards that have started to accumulate on your already overflowing desk, you’ll need to know the different types of Mobilo cards available.

To make it crystal clear, I’ve broken down your options below. Spoiler alert: they offer a range of customizable cards, buttons, and key fobs that are going to make your working life considerably easier. You can thank me later.

Option 1: Personal

Ideal for personal usage, you’ll make a single payment and receive your choice of card that gives you unlimited taps, a digital QR code, lead generation mode, and a personal landing page. Your card can be customized on a durable, cost-effective plastic card, a smooth and lightweight wood version, or a stainless steel design that has a brushed finish and laser-cut inscriptions. It’s worth mentioning if you do decide to choose the wood option, Mobilo promises to plant a tree for every one they sell.

Option 2: Teams

The Teams plan is designed for businesses that want to cut costs and improve their carbon footprint. There’s an annual fee per employee ($39) and a one-time cost per card (which varies depending on whether you choose the Mobilo branded, custom classic, wood, or metal version).

You get everything I’ve mentioned with the personal card, plus access to data and statistics for your team, the ability to manage individual profiles, control, and lock profile fields, and create departments, groups, and office locations. You’ll also be able to manage, re-assign, and disable cards while mass syncing and updating employee data.

Add-Ons

As well as the physical card, there are also a number of impressive add-ons available for both personal and Team plans. There’s a clever and convenient fob that clips onto your keys and comes in super handy if you’ve left your card at home. And my favorite: the NFC smart button that sticks on the back of your cell and will launch Mobilo whenever you need it.

Creating a Mobilo card

Creating your Mobilo card is super simple. But before you get started, take some time to go through the information I’ve provided so far and make a decision on which type of card you need. Once you know what you want, simply select the personal or Teams plan, and you’ll be given a range of options.

For the personal card, make your choice between the Mobilo branded card or the custom design (available with wood or metal versions). Both versions ship within just 48 hours and work with Apple and Android devices. For those who are rocking another type of cell, there’s a QR code that can be customized to match your branding or personal preferences.

If it’s the Teams Mobilo card you require, you get to choose from the three different types of cards I’ve already highlighted, but you’ll also need to select the ‘user license’ option. All of the team packages must include a user license to guarantee that users are added to your organization, and you can manage their profiles.

Final Verdict

In an age defined by rapid digitalization and the quest for efficiency, the shift toward digital business cards is a natural and logical progression. In other words, it just makes sense. The Mobilo card is a must-have for every individual and company looking to move with the times.

From reducing environmental impact to offering greater versatility and interactivity, the digital business card is a dynamic tool that adapts to the way we connect and conduct business in the 21st century. It not only saves time and resources but also makes a statement of modernity and forward-thinking professionalism that is sure to impress at your next conference.
