# A business card that says much more. > A QR code on your business card opens your JeliID: photo, trade, services, past work, and a button that saves your contact details straight to the phone. > https://jeli-qr.com/en/exemples/carte-de-visite A QR code on your business card opens your JeliID, your Jèli business card: your photo, your trade, your services, your past work, and an “Add contact” button that saves your details to the phone. **Who it's for** : Craftspeople, Shopkeepers, Professionals, Freelancers, Employees, Elected officials, Artists, … in short, everyone! ## The problem: a small card, little space A name, a number, an address. The card ends up in a pocket, and the contact is often lost. - **Too small** No room to show your services and your work. - **Number changed** One new number and all your cards must be reprinted. - **Details to copy out** The number has to be typed by hand, with mistakes. - **Soon forgotten** A card doesn't remind anyone who you are or what you do. ## What your JeliID can hold - **You — Your introduction** Photo, trade, company and a few lines to introduce yourself. - **Contact — Saved in one tap** The “Add contact” button saves your name, your number and your email to the phone's contacts. - **Services — What you offer** Services, rates, opening hours, the area you cover: write them in your introduction. Each service can also have its own JeliCard. - **Past work — Your work** JeliCards of your past work, with photos, videos and a voice message, sorted into folders. - **Links — Finding you** A button to call you, your address on the map, and up to three links to your social accounts or your website. ## What Jèli gives you - **Contact saved instantly** No more copying out: one scan, one tap on “Add contact”, and your number is in the phone. - **Always up to date** New number, new address: you correct your JeliID and the card stays valid. - **Your voice** A voice message brings your introduction to life, in each of your languages. Record it on a JeliCard kept in your JeliID. - **A complete showcase** Services, photos and past work all in one place. - **Share it everywhere** On the card, the shop window, the vehicle, or as a WhatsApp link. - **Free and ad-free** The person who scans sees only your work. ## Your JeliCards travel around the world A JeliCard is shared in one move: by text message, on social media, by email, on the internet, or simply by scanning the QR code from one phone to another. Your message travels across time and distance, and reaches every audience, here and elsewhere. ## What about Instagram, TikTok, WhatsApp? These tools are excellent, and you probably use them already. Jèli does not replace them: it does a different job. ### Instagram and TikTok — The networks that help people discover you - **Ideal for** showing your news in photos and videos, and reaching new audiences. - **Information** lives in a feed: new posts push the old ones down. - **Access** mostly needs the app and an account; the algorithm decides who sees what. - **Around it** other content and ads are shown too. ### WhatsApp — The messaging app that gets people talking - **Ideal for** everyday conversations, answering questions, running a group. - **Information** lives in a conversation: messages pile up and old ones are quickly lost. - **Access** means having your number or being in the group. - **Around it** are all the person's other conversations. ### Jèli — The reference page, in the right place - **Ideal for** information that must stay available, attached to an object, a poster or a place. - **Information** lives on a stable page: always in the same place, always up to date. - **Access** takes a simple scan, with no account and no app. - **Around it** no ads and no one else's content: only your message and your other JeliCards. Your Instagram or TikTok account shows your work, and WhatsApp lets you chat with interested people. Your JeliID brings them together: one scan of your card gives your contact to save, your services and the links to your networks. **It's not one or the other.** Put the links to your Instagram, TikTok and WhatsApp accounts in the text of your JeliCard, and share your JeliCard on your networks: each tool does what it does best. ## How to do it A few minutes are enough. 1. **Create** your JeliID in the Jèli app, with a photo and an introduction. 2. **Add** your contact details, your services and your past work. 3. **Record** a voice introduction on a JeliCard. 4. **Test** the scan on several phones. 5. **Print** the QR code on the back of your business card, or on the front if the back is already full. 6. **Share** the link on WhatsApp and social media. 7. **Update** your past work as time goes by. ## Obstacles, and how to get past them - **Not everyone has a smartphone** A relative, a seller or a community relay can scan and play it for them. The printed material still makes sense on its own. - **Costly data, weak network** Short voice messages, light images, no app to download: the JeliCard opens fast, even with little data. - **Few people know QR codes** Add the words “Scan to listen” and show the gesture once: after that, everyone knows how. - **I don't know what to put on it** Start simple: a photo, one sentence about yourself, your contact. You'll add more over time. - **My cards are already printed** A small QR code sticker can go on your existing cards. ## Our tips - Two options for the QR code: print it large enough on the back of the card or, if the back is already crowded, put it on the front, next to your name. - Add the words “Scan to get to know me”. - Also put the QR code on your shop window, your vehicle, your invoices and all your communication materials. - Regularly add new photos of your work. > A business card gives your name. Your JeliID shows everything you can do. - [Let's talk about your project on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/33769457119?text=Hello%2C%20I'd%20like%20to%20create%20my%20business%20card%20with%20J%C3%A8li.) - [Create a free JeliCard](https://jeli-qr.com/en#telecharger)
