Could be something to compare cost of Avery cards against having them printed.
DIY business cards always look like crap. Crooked and poor print quality. Splurge on the 40 bucks and get a batch professionally printed on nice, heavy card stock.

iPhone to iPhone just put the 2 iPhones near each other to exchange contact info. Get rid of those bad android phones.

We ONLY use paper and magnets. In our business, it's much better to have those available to the customer so they can call us when they need us. We don't expect them to have to remember our name. They know to go in their kitchen or drawer or wallet.

What does one even DO with a "digital business card"? If I ask for someone's info - I want an actual card - something I can put in my little stash at home and know where to go when I need it.

Just curious. What kind of business would use a digital card? Isn't that what web pages are for?

I just ordered a bunch of business cards, rack cards, thank you cards and post cards. I wouldn't even know how a digital card would work.

Somebody with the digital card shows you their phone with an app that shows the "card" with a QR code. Then you are supposed to get your phone, scan their QR code, and then a link will display the card. If you want to keep the card, you have to have yet another app that stores digital cards so you know where to go if you remember you need those services.

So I'm assuming only techies use these.

So unless you're fully "apped up" you're SOL.

Well, if your business model includes excluding customers who don't participate in all that, yeah by all means go purely "digital business card". If you are interested in actually making money no matter who the customer might be, maybe you (OP) should consider lifting your head up from the screen and printing off some standard card stock business cards.

Do businessmen in Japan now exchange phones when meeting for the first time?

Isn't it easier to just look at the card? Isn't tech supposed to make things easier?

Barcode tattoos.

It won't be long until Idiocracy comes to life and the government mandates ID tattoos or implanted chip cards, "for our safety and convenience."
