Digital business card for musicians and DJs After the set, during the load-out.
A free card for the load-out: the promoter scans it, saves you, and can send their number back before the van leaves.
Free forever · No card details · About a minute

Example of what happens next: Jess Carter scans Kit’s card, saves Kit to their contacts and chooses to send their own details back. The next morning at 09:00, Cardr Pro reminds Kit to follow up, with the email already drafted.
The booking is offered as the set ends, while you are carrying an amp. It is loud, it is dark, and the promoter says they will find you on Instagram. Show your code instead. They save you with nothing to install, can send their number or email back, and Pro drafts the reply with your rates.
One scan. You’re in their phone. They can send theirs.

Loud, dark, and both hands are full.
The load-out
- No free hands
- Dark and loud
- The van
Of every scene on this site, this is the one with the fewest free hands and the worst conditions.
- No free hands. Of every scene on this site this one has the fewest. You are carrying an amp with both of them.
- Dark and loud. You cannot read a printed card in a venue, and you cannot hear an address being spelled out.
- The van. It is double-parked and the conversation is over when the driver leans on the horn.
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.

- One scan, no app
- Opens with no signal
Somebody has just decided they want you for their wedding, their bar or their club night, and they have about the length of a load-out to say so. You cannot reach a bag, you cannot hear an email address, and typing in a dark room is optimistic.
A code they scan works. Your half works with no signal, because the Wallet pass is on your phone; their phone needs a bar to open your page.
What they send back matters most. A promoter with your Instagram might message you. A promoter whose number you have gets your rates and dates the next morning, and that is when a good night becomes a booking.
Nothing for them to download.

ProTime to follow up with Jess CarterFollow-up drafted
- Their number, before the van leaves. After they save you, they can send their number or email, so the enquiry survives the car park.
- Everything you sell, one scan. Spotify, SoundCloud, Instagram, YouTube, a website and a booking link, all on the free plan.
- The date and the ask on their name. “Wedding, August, wants a first dance cover”, in a note. Free.
- The reply written for you. Pro drafts it from your note, for 200 people a month, so Sunday’s enquiry gets answered on Sunday.
- Works in a basement. Switch your code to No signal and it holds your contact itself, so their camera saves you with no bars.
- Change the act, keep the audience. New name, lineup or rates: edit once and your page and pass update.
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.

Musicians and DJs, answered.
Does the promoter need an app?
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. Nobody downloads an app or creates an account.
Will it work in a venue with no signal?
Your pass opens offline, because it is stored on your phone. If their phone has no signal either, open your code on cardr.co/me/code and switch to No signal: that code holds your contact itself, so their camera saves you with no bars. They can send their details from your page once online.
Can I put my music and my rates on it?
Yes, on the free plan. Instagram, YouTube, a website and a booking link are standard link types; Spotify and SoundCloud go in as custom links. Link a page with your rates so you can change them without touching the card.
I play in two bands. Can I have two cards?
Not on one account. Each Cardr is a single card, so a second act needs a second account. We would rather tell you before you sign up.
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 replies drafted from your notes, reminders 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.
