Digital business card for photographers Eighty guests. Half of them need a photographer.
Reach the guest who asks what you charge: one scan between shots saves you to their phone, and they can send their email back.
Free forever · No card details · About a minute

Example of what happens next: Ellie Marsh scans Nina’s card, saves Nina to their contacts and chooses to send their own details back. The next morning at 09:00, Cardr Pro reminds Nina to follow up, with the email already drafted.
A digital business card for photographers should turn a compliment at the reception into an enquiry. Eighty guests have just watched you work. They scan your code with nothing to install, save you, and can send their email back. Pro drafts the reply, so a Saturday enquiry gets an answer on Sunday.
One scan. You’re in their phone. They can send theirs.

Example
Between the speeches and the first dance.
The reception
- Twelve seconds
- Both hands
- Venue signal
Both hands are on a camera. Someone is asking what you charge. The window is about twelve seconds long.
- Twelve seconds. Someone asks what you charge while you are mid-frame. That is the entire opportunity.
- Both hands. They are on a camera body worth more than your car. Neither is going into a pocket for a card.
- Venue signal. Barns, cellars and country houses. The reception is worse than the lighting, which is saying something.
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
You cannot reach a printed card in a bag across the room, or type an email address with two camera bodies hanging off you. What happens is a code on the phone in your pocket and a guest pointing their camera at it.
What you want back is an email address. An Instagram handle is forgotten by Monday. A guest in your list gets a reply on Sunday morning, while they are still talking about the day.
Barns, cellars and country houses are hard on signal. Your Wallet pass opens with none, and your No signal code holds your contact itself, so a guest’s camera saves you with no bars.
Nothing for them to download.
Tap through what Tom sees when he scans your card.

Also for
Photographers, answered.
Do guests 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. Nobody downloads an app at a wedding.
Will it work in a venue with no signal?
Your pass opens offline, because it lives on your phone. If their phone has no signal either, open cardr.co/me/code and switch to No signal: that code holds your contact itself, so their camera saves you. They can send their details from your page once online.
Should I put my prices on it?
If you want enquiries to arrive knowing your range, yes. On Pro your page lists up to 6 packages, each with a “from” price. On the free plan, link to your pricing page.
I shoot commercial as well as weddings. Can I have two cards?
Not on one account. Each Cardr account holds one card, so two positionings means two accounts. It is a real limit, and better said now than after 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 drafted replies, reminders, priced packages on your page 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.
