Digital business card for consultants One day in the room. Then nothing.
Win the next engagement from this one: everyone you work with saves you in one scan, and can send their details back before access ends.
Free forever · No card details · About a minute

Example of what happens next: Grace Whitman scans Aisha’s card, saves Aisha to their contacts and chooses to send their own details back. The next morning at 09:00, Cardr Pro reminds Aisha to follow up, with the email already drafted.
A digital business card for consultants keeps the room after the engagement ends. The managers who saw your work often do not have your number, and your client email stops on the Friday. They scan your card, save you and can send their personal details back. Your notes stay on each name, and Pro drafts the re-open.
One scan. You’re in their phone. They can send theirs.

Example
The last day, not the first meeting.
The last day
- Six weeks of trust
- Access ends
- No handover
You spend six weeks becoming the most useful person in a building, then you leave and it evaporates.
- Six weeks of trust. You become the most useful person in the building, and then the engagement ends.
- Access ends. The email address stops working on the Friday. Everyone you met is now unreachable through it.
- No handover. Nobody hands you the relationships you built. If you did not keep them, they evaporate.
Each constraint decides the format. A card that fails any one of the three does not get used a second time, however good it looks.

The relationship is with people, and people move. The sponsor who hired you takes your number to their next company. The four managers who saw the work do not have it at all, and that is the expensive part.
The last day is too late and too formal. The exchange works best in the first week, after a workshop, in a way that puts their details on your side.
Your positioning changes too. Edit the card and your page shows the current offer to anyone who opens your link or the contact they saved.
Nothing for them to download.

ProTime to follow up with Grace WhitmanFollow-up drafted
- The whole room, not just the sponsor. After they save you, everyone can send their details back, on the free plan.
- Context while it is true. “Ran ops, sceptical about the phasing, moving to the Leeds site” sits on the name.
- An offer you can change. Edit the card and your page and pass update when your practice area moves.
- A card that reads as serious. A signed Apple Wallet pass, in your Wallet beside your boarding passes.
- The re-open, drafted. Pro writes it from what you worked on together, for 200 people a month.
- “Six months after go-live”, remembered. Set the day on the contact, and Pro emails you that morning.
The card is free. Pro does the follow-up.
Everything in the first column stays free, with no expiry and no limit on exchanges or contacts. Pro adds what happens after the meeting.

Consultants, answered.
Does it look professional enough for a corporate client?
The pass is a genuine signed .pkpass, the same format as an airline boarding pass, and it sits in Apple Wallet beside them. Oxford is the free design, and Pro has all of them. Whether it suits your market is your call, and the free plan lets you decide without paying.
Can I have a card for each practice area?
No. Each Cardr account holds one card, so two positionings means two accounts. That is clumsy, and we would rather say so.
Can I use my own domain?
Not yet. Your card lives at cardr.co/yourname. If a custom domain is a requirement for how you present yourself, Cardr is not the right product today.
Does the client need to install anything?
No. Your QR code opens your card as a web page on their phone, iPhone or Android, and they save you to their contacts from there. Nothing to download and no account to create.
What does it cost?
Free forever, no card details: your card, page and Apple Wallet pass, the two-way exchange, and every contact with notes, search and export. Pro, £12 a month or £108 a year (£9 a month), adds drafted re-opens, dated reminders, a pipeline and all 16 pass designs. 7 days free, then 30 days to change your mind.
Free forever. About a minute to build.
Nothing for the other person to install, and no card details to start.
