A few months ago, I visited the <a title="Google Map" href="https://maps.app.goo.gl/WPcc4prYCHk273ug7" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ubi industrial area</a> in Singapore to find a precision engineering workshop. One of our products needed metal repair work&mdash;sawing, welding, and alignment&mdash;and I hoped to get it fixed quickly. After walking past a few workshops, I found one that looked capable and available. The team seemed experienced and straightforward, so we discussed the job and agreed on a fair price. I left the product with them and asked how I could follow up.
That&rsquo;s when something quite simple caught my attention.
I asked for a business card so I could contact them when the repair was ready. An unexpectedly long search followed, with two or three team members looking around for a printed card. They checked inside the office, then stepped outside, asking others if they had one. It took a few minutes, and in the end, we gave up. We exchanged contact information through an iOS note and scribbled on a small piece of paper.
A few days later, they called me to inform me that the repair had been completed and was well done. I returned to collect the product and asked to make payment via <a title="PayNow" href="https://www.abs.org.sg/consumer-banking/pay-now" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PayNow</a>. This time, the same thing happened: they couldn&rsquo;t immediately provide the mobile number or UEN (company registration number) to accept payment. The staff on-site weren&rsquo;t sure who handled it, and after 15 minutes of checking with someone else in the office, we finally managed to get the correct details and complete the payment.
<hr data-start="1713" data-end="1716" />
<h3 data-start="1718" data-end="1771">A Familiar Scenario&mdash;But One Full of Potential</h3>
That experience wasn&rsquo;t frustrating&mdash;it was eye-opening. It reminded me how many businesses, especially small and medium-sized ones, still rely on older methods for sharing contact details, collecting payments, and providing essential business information. But it also showed me something more important: the opportunity for positive change.
These weren&rsquo;t significant roadblocks. They were small gaps that could quickly be closed with the right tools.
<hr data-start="2227" data-end="2230" />
<h3 data-start="2232" data-end="2271">The Missed Opportunities Add Up</h3>
For a customer, small moments like these shape the overall experience. Here are a few areas where traditional methods can unintentionally lead to missed opportunities:
<ul data-start="2442" data-end="2827">
<li data-start="2442" data-end="2543">
No business card? That means no easy way for customers to follow up or recommend your business.
</li>
<li data-start="2544" data-end="2660">
No instant PayNow info? That creates unnecessary delay and could reflect poorly on how ready your business is.
</li>
<li data-start="2661" data-end="2827">
No digital touchpoints like website, directions, or social media? That limits your reach and ability to stay connected with customers after they walk away.
</li>
</ul>
It&rsquo;s not about being high-tech&mdash;it&rsquo;s about being ready. These little moments are touchpoints that build trust, encourage referrals, and help customers come back in the future.
<hr data-start="3005" data-end="3008" />
<h3 data-start="3010" data-end="3060">A Practical Solution for Modern Businesses</h3>
That&rsquo;s why I founded&nbsp;<a title="s͛Card, it is essential to business that matter!" href="https://www.scard.business/b/official" target="_blank" rel="noopener">s͛Card</a>, an innovative digital business card designed to help local businesses quickly and affordably bridge the digital gap.
With s͛Card, businesses can:
<ul data-start="3236" data-end="3841">
<li data-start="3236" data-end="3305">
Share contact details instantly using a QR code or simple link.
</li>
<li data-start="3306" data-end="3415">
Include PayNow or other payment methods so customers can pay instantly&mdash;no more searching for numbers.
</li>
<li data-start="3416" data-end="3545">
Add location info, website, and social media links so customers can read more, follow your updates, or get live directions.
</li>
<li data-start="3546" data-end="3661">
Include digital brochures or catalogues so customers can see your products or services even after they leave.
</li>
<li data-start="3662" data-end="3754">
Reduce paper waste, supporting sustainability and making your business eco-friendlier.
</li>
<li data-start="3755" data-end="3841">
Choose from free and paid versions, depending on what works best for your needs.
</li>
</ul>
It&rsquo;s a slight shift from paper to digital&mdash;but it dramatically impacts how professionally your business comes across, how quickly customers can act, and how well they remember you.
&nbsp;
<hr class="" data-start="4022" data-end="4025" />
<h3 data-start="4027" data-end="4065">More Than Just a Business Card</h3>

<hr data-start="4509" data-end="4512" />
<h3 data-start="4514" data-end="4548">Empowering SMEs to Do More</h3>
Singapore&rsquo;s SMEs are the backbone of the economy. Many already deliver excellent products and services, but they often lack the time or resources to modernise their customer-engagement strategies. That&rsquo;s where digital tools like s͛Card come in.

This change not only makes life easier for your customers but also helps your business stand out in a competitive market.
<hr data-start="5129" data-end="5132" />

Wishing you all a prosperous Lunar New Year! 2023 is the year of the Rabbit, according to the Chinese Zodiac. I hope everyone had their fill of joy and happiness in 2022, as this year may bring some challenges.
&nbsp;
As we head into the Year of the Water Rabbit, it is important to remember that operational costs for businesses and organisations are likely to increase due to various factors. As wages continue to rise, taxes become more complex, and raw materials become more expensive, businesses may face higher costs to maintain operations. This can also lead to increased prices of goods and services, which could hurt consumers. On the other hand, consumers are also facing inflation and recession.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
To stay competitive in the ever-changing economy, businesses must remain informed and properly plan for their future. To assist companies with transitioning into digital realms, <a title="Supercharge Interactive, Supercharge Business" href="https://supercharge.business">Supercharge.Business</a> launched Scard (<a title="Scard, a digital business card application" href="https://www.scard.business" target="_blank" rel="noopener">www.scard.business</a>), a state-of-the-art digital business card! Not only will this facilitate entrepreneurs and companies to get their business into the virtual world, but it also helps lessen paper waste so everyone can do their part to save our environment!
