Static vCard QR Code
A simple way to create a QR Code with your contact details is an offline QR Code with a vCard encoded.
A vCard
is a file format for business cards to exchange contact data. You can create a free QR code for a static vCard.
vCards can be easily imported in e-mail clients like Outlook or to an address book on a mobile phone.
By scanning the following QR Code, your mobile phone will automatically suggest to add our
company’s contact details to your address book.
Most of the smartphones with a QR Code Reader installed, can handle this QR Code (including iPhones).
This QR Code also works, if you are not connected to the Internet, since all information is encoded in the QR Code itself.
However since all Information is encoded in the QR Code itself, the QR Code can get really big.
The more information you are adding, the bigger the code gets.
It will be hard to print the code on a business card while sustaining the readability of the QR Code.
Adding an image is almost impossible, since there would be too much data in the QR Code.
But the biggest disadvantage is:
Once the QR Code is printed the information in the QR Code cannot be changed anymore.
This is when a QR Code that leads to an editable QR Code Business Card comes in handy.
