Business cards are a great way to share information about yourself and your company when you want to network with others-potential clients, employees, employers, businesses whose services you want to use, friends, and so on. However, relying on printed business cards alone can be risky: You and the people you give them to can lose them, misplace them, or run out just when encountering a valuable contact. A handy solution is electronic business cards, called vCards (virtual business cards), which you can send in e-mail using Outlook.
Think how much handier it'll be for recipients when your business card is stored on their computers. No more digging through briefcases or wallets for a little piece of paper! And think how much easier it'll be for them to share your information with others when they can send your electronic business card to anyone they exchange e-mail with Outlook Support.
Before you can send a vCard, you must enter in Contacts the information for the person whose business card you're going to send. This includes adding an entry for yourself if you're going to send your own business card.
Follow the steps to save a vCard file…
- Click Contacts, and then select the contact you want to open.
- On the File menu, point to Open, and then click Selected Items.
- In the contact, on the File menu, click Export to vCard. Specify the location where you want to save the file, and then click Save. When you want to insert the file in an item that you have opened, on the Insert menu in the item, click File, and then select the .vcf file.
When you receive a vCard file from someone else, you can transfer the information to Contacts to automatically create a contact for that person. Once the information is in Contacts, you can forward it at any time as a vCard.
