A Visa card with an embedded digital business card? Here's why Qorbis is the ultimate solution for brands looking to enhance networking, cut costs, and deliver on sustainability targets.
In today's digital age, businesses are increasingly seeking ways to streamline operations and reduce costs. One area ripe for modernization is the use of business cards. Traditional paper cards, while familiar and tangible, are expensive to print and mean businesses are unable to meet sustainability targets. Enter Qorbis, a Visa debit card with an embedded digital business card that promises to reduce these costs and enhance connectivity and convenience – and entirely branded with a business's own design and brand assets. Let's compare the costs and benefits of paper versus digital cards with Qorbis.
Cost Analysis
Paper Cards
Printing Costs: Printing high-quality business cards can be expensive. Costs vary depending on the paper quality, design complexity, and quantity ordered. Typically, businesses spend an average of $30 for a batch of 500 cards - with costs rising for elements like embossing, increased paperweight, and colour.
Design Costs: Unless you have an in-house designer, you’ll likely need to hire a graphic designer to create the business cards. This can add an additional $50 to $300 to the total cost.
Reprinting Costs: Any change in contact information, job title, or company branding means reprinting cards, leading to recurring expenses.
Environmental Costs: The production and disposal of paper cards contribute to deforestation and waste, making them less environmentally friendly.
Qorbis Digital Business Cards
Initial Setup Cost: Setting up a Qorbis account is $75.00 annually, with digital cards charged at $36 annually, or $3 per month, per user- significantly most cost-effective than paper versions with the added benefit of unlimited use and bespoke branding.
No Reprinting Costs: Changes to your contact information or design can be made instantly an unlimited number of times via the administrative platform at no additional cost, eliminating the need for reprints.
