Frequent ask questions about s͛Card during the business networking event I have attended

I am absolutely thrilled for the year 2023, as many of the restrictions imposed by COVID-19 will have loosened up. Although we are still in a pandemic, it is an incredibly exciting time to network with new people and learn about their businesses - all while discovering how s͛Card can provide them digital assistance! Thus far, I've had the pleasure of meeting individuals from various industries, cultures, and nations. Every single one has an intriguing business idea to share! Learning about these different perspectives has been incredibly stimulating. If you're planning any events or would like to partner with s͛Card, please feel free to reach out.

While networking, I'm regularly asked the same questions - so much that it tends to detract from time spent discussing how s͛Card can benefit attendees. To save time and provide more helpful information during our sessions, I've decided to post these answers in a blog format, so everyone can read up on them beforehand and focus exclusively on what s͛Card has to offer.

How do I sign up?

You can sign up on our main website, www.scard.business or any s͛Card profile you visit, like Friday's Profile. Just tap/click the top right button (3 bars/hamburger menu) and tap/click register.

The s͛Card Smart Card (embedded with an NFC tag in the card) is Free, and you only get it at s͛Card events or s͛Card participated events.

Why is it Free?

Because we want to introduce it to you.
Because it will benefit you, your business, or your organisation, it is Free to try.
Because we want to reduce paper waste as it can reduce business card printing and marketing collateral like brochures, coffee table booklets or pamphlets printing.

What if I don't like it?

We have a delete or cancel account policy; you can remove it anytime if you don't like it.

How do you make money?

We make money when you buy or upgrade to a Pro account, purchase our products, buy our services and participate in our events.

Additionally, using it frequently can help us save money since we won't have to spend as much on advertising. This budget can then be allocated somewhere more beneficial and productive.

When the Lin Chamber of Commerce began its Turkey and Syria Earthquake Relief Fund, we wanted to help. To encourage our members with free accounts to donate, we offered them a one-year Pro Account (valued at $100) when they donate their $100. With this incentive in place, it was no surprise that we could generate SGD$ 300! Thank you, Joyce, Frankie and Fionna, for supporting this!

Is s͛Card local?

s͛Card is a digital product. It is owned by a Singapore Company, Sino Ventures Group Pte Ltd.

When did you start this?

We launched s͛Card in March 2022 and exhibited officially at the end of October that same year. There was a brief introduction between May-June; however, I felt taken advantage of by the organiser due to it appearing more like an informal gathering (family reunion dinner or drinking joint) than a business event.

s͛Card actually started way back 9 years ago. At that time, we are still printing traditional business cards (digital and offset business cards) for clients. We saw the waste and believed we could make some changes because we had WhatsApp and MMS at that time. But sadly, we couldn't improve it because the best we would do was create a Jpeg or Gif image, so we dropped the idea. Till Covid-19 struck us with almost no business, so I looked back for things that could be used and continue after the pandemic. We see this digital business card potential as we have digital applications growth, mobile devices getting more innovative and at the same time, everyone knows how to read QR codes.

I formed a squad to tackle digital services like the production of custom content management software for our website, an electronic invoice system for our primary business and its synchronisation with online payments. Plus, we linked it all up to internet-of-things devices such as smart door locks. After much strategising and planning, s͛Card was designed despite my background being primarily design, print and advertising related - which presented many hurdles along the way.

Thus, s͛Card was born.

Do you have competitors?

Absolutely, every business has competitors; we have both local and international rivals. Every company has local and international competition; look at Space X (Market Valuation $74 B); their competitors are Boeing, Northrop Grumman, Blue Origin, United Launch Alliance and Safran Cabin. Also, look at Twitter; they got even more competitors.

Why would I choose you versus your competitors?

Have you ever tried a digital business card before? If not, then it's time to give ours a try! You'll get 30 days of complimentary Pro Account access upon signing up. After the trial period ends, your account will revert to its free version — which is free for life (at least for now). If you'd prefer, you can visit our local or international competitors and purchase their products and service to get a glimpse of the difference in quality between theirs and ours.

After meeting people at events, they often returned to me saying they should have connected with me earlier, as I could have saved them from buying a competitor's product and service. In only twenty minutes of trying it out for themselves, these individuals quickly realised the amount of money they would have retained by connecting with me first or knowing s͛Card.

Is there any Reseller or Incentive for promoting s͛Card?

Don't miss out on our s͛Card Brand Ambassador program - it provides the perfect rewards for you! We don't offer reseller or white-label services, so take advantage of this incredible opportunity.

Make sure to ask me plenty of questions if we have the opportunity to connect at the event - I'd love to get to know you better!
