Gen Z Thinks Digital - and Expects Companies to Do the Same

Gen Z is no longer “the future” - they’re already part of today’s working world.

They work in start-ups, build their own businesses, shape buying decisions, and influence how we communicate.

For companies, this means:
If you want to reach, attract, and work with Gen Z, you need to understand how they think - and what they expect when it comes to professionalism, efficiency, and sustainability.

Swipe, Not Stack

Gen Z is the first generation to grow up completely digital.
They think in QR codes, cloud systems, and AI tools - not in paper piles or Excel sheets.

Paper business cards? A thing of the past.
Complicated data entry? A big no.
Speed, authenticity, and sustainability? That’s the minimum.

Paper business cards feel to Gen Z as modern as TV in the Netflix age.

Digital Business Cards - The First Impression of Tomorrow

The first impression no longer happens on paper – it happens online.
That’s why digital business cards fit perfectly into Gen Z’s mindset:

• Always up to date: No reprints, no mess - changes appear instantly.

• Interactive: Social media, portfolios, and calendar links - all just one click away.

• Sustainable: No paper, no waste - a clear statement for modern company values.

In short: digital business cards are made for a generation that values efficiency, sustainability, and great design.

Why Companies Should Act Now

Companies that don’t take this generation seriously risk losing them for good.

Digital business cards send a simple but powerful message:

We understand modern communication. We think digital. We’re ready for the future.
