MBizCard

Contact details that land directly in a client's phone are the aim of MBizCard, a mobile-first web app first created in 2012 and sold by MBizTools, LLC. It works as a professional profile page rather than a simple digital version of a paper card. The company says that, unlike many digital business card tools, it offers a responsive design that reads comfortably on a large tablet or a computer screen as well as on a phone.

From job hunters to sales teams

The card began as a way to help people searching for new jobs. Sales coaches, realtors, car dealers and network marketers soon took it up, and the company says its users now include many industries built around sales and customer support. The idea is that a professional can share contact information quickly and have it saved to a prospect's phone and contact list, which makes networking more efficient.

What an Unlimited account adds

With the Unlimited account, a user can create as many versions of the card as needed: one for every service offered, networking group joined or organization represented. It also brings a blog on the card's own domain through a Blog Engine integration, and an unlimited supply of Redirect Pages, of which ten are generated at the start and more can be requested. Plus Pages, a set of ready-made pages for associates, distributors and representatives of particular organizations, are being built with those organizations.

Platform features listed today

The current site describes cards that can sit on a user's own subdomain, calendar and VoIP connections, and team account management, and positions the product as an enterprise-ready digital business card platform.

Accounts for organizations

Two custom plans exist for groups. One offers bulk arrangements under the MBizCard brand, and the other lets an organization private label the platform with no reference to MBizCard or MBizTools. The company suggests these suit trade associations, chambers of commerce, direct sellers, networking clubs and any organization with big sales or support teams. The company also runs training and overview sessions where most of the time goes to questions from current and prospective users.
