PROFESSIONAL GUIDE

Your Business Card
Should Never Expire.

Business cards are high-stakes. If your QR code stops working 3 months after you hand it out, you've lost more than a lead—you've lost your reputation.

The "Dangerous" Business Card

You might hand out a business card today, but a prospect may not scan it for 6 months or even 2 years.

If you used a "Free Trial" QR generator, that code will be dead by the time your lead tries to connect. Avoid the disaster of printing 1,000 cards that lead to a 404 page.

The Sunk Cost Warning

Premium card stock and foil printing are expensive. A broken link turns these physical assets into expensive trash.

Static vs. Dynamic: The Professional Choice

Which type of permanent code should you use for your networking?

Static (VCard)

Encodes your info directly. Never expires, but cannot be changed if you change your phone number.

Best for simple LinkedIn links

Dynamic (Redirect)

LifetimeQR's specialty. Permanent redirect link. Change your destination URL anytime without reprinting cards.

Essential for professional networking

Design Tips for Business Cards

High Contrast is Non-Negotiable

Ensure your QR code has a high contrast ratio (dark pixels on a light background). Avoid light pastel colors that mobile cameras struggle to focus on.

Minimum Size Requirements

For business cards, never go smaller than 0.8 inches (2cm) in width. Any smaller and the pattern becomes a blur on many smartphones.
