HOW TO: CREATE A BRANDED DIGITAL BUSINESS CARD FOR YOUR APPLE WALLET

Written By Brooke Hitching

The business card designed for a post-covid world will let you make a great first impression as well as save you huge amounts on printing costs.

  • It is free

  • Works on iPhones only

  • No registrations necessary

I double-click on the power button on the side of my iPhone and up pops my Apple wallet, and my business card is ready to be scanned by their camera.

I can’t tell you how useful this is while out at networking events, meetings, or even socialising.

As a consultant who needs to be able to explain ways of optimising a person’s business, having this as my business card definitely kicks things off in the right way. With the amount of ‘that’s cool!’ comments I’ve received, clearly it leaves a great first impression.

This will also save you a huge amount on printing costs!

STEP 1

Create the QR code.

  • Click here:

And fill out the details as show here.

  • Click ‘Generate’.

  • Save the QR code file.

  • Load it up on screen.

  • Point your phone camera at it to test if it works. The name of the contact should pop up, click on it and check the details are correct.

STEP 2

Create the Apple Wallet business card.

  • Go to the App Store and download ‘Wallet Creator’ app, by ‘at2 GmbH’.

  • Load up the app and click the ‘+’ sign in the top right.

  • Fill in the fields as I have done in the screenshot.

  • You will need a small version of your company logo for where the Mr Brooke+Co. red ‘+’ is.

  • You will need your company colours in HEX code format - a 6 digit code. If you don’t know what these are, upload an image with your colours in them to this website here.

  • Click ‘Add to Apple Wallet’ and check to see how it looks. Make any edits accordingly.

STEP 3

Get out there and start networking!

TIP: If you want to be able to double-click side / power button to bring up your Apple Wallet:

  • Go to Settings.

  • Scroll down to ‘Wallet & Apple Pay’

  • Click on ‘Double-Click Side Button’

ENJOY!
