Business cards feature business information about a company or
individual which are shared during formal introductions. An online business
card is different in that it is stored online and not in a business card holder
but is stored online. It has its advantage in that it is accessible from
anywhere in the world and gives unlimited storage facility.
A typical online business card includes the giver's name,
company affiliation and contact information such as street addresses, telephone
number(s), e-mail addresses and website.
There are many websites offering online storage of business card. In
some of these sites a user can store his/her visiting cards and in exchange can
get another visiting card for free. On some sites such as G2bux.com user can earn
on visiting card information, in which instance the user is paid a commission
on the sale.
Business card websites provide marketing and sales people with ready made
contacts thereby bypassing the usual research work involved in identifying the
proper contact in an organization.
G2bux
G2bux is an online directory of about a hundred thousand business
cards. It is a directory with difference since it pays members a commission on
every visiting card that is sold. Each card on G2bux has an email address and
phone number, allowing members to bypass the usual route and directly contact
key decision makers and decision influencers. G2bux is the required resource
for sales people, marketers, recruiters, and small business people.
G2bux's unique directory is built and maintained by over ten thousand
members. Using a point system, members can put a price on the cards they have
uploaded and trade business cards for money. Members can also challenge
existing cards and if their information is found to be correct can get that
business card in their account.
Jigsaw
Jigsaw was started by A veteran sales executive, Jim Fowler who has
spent the last 12 years selling marketing and collaboration software.
Jigsaw's unique directory is built and maintained by over two hundred
thousand members. Using a point system for credit, members trade business cards
they have for business cards they need. Members also get point credits for
