Do people still hand out physical business cards at events or is it all digital now?

i should have asked before ordering 50, lol

EDIT:

Thank you for all the replies, I’ve got the answer I need but I’ll add some more information just in case anyone wants to know.

  • I’m based in Europe and not Japan
  • I’m working as a videographer and trying to build a film company
  • I plan on doing more event coverage so I’ll bring them with to quickly hand out my contact details.
  • The card has the following: Busines name, my name, phone number, email, and website.
  • I had thought about adding my social media but couldn’t find a nice way to do it that matched the rest of the card.

EDIT 2: just now realised I didn’t complete the last sentence of the last bullet point

    Why is NFC needed in this case? Regardless of this being a potential security risk (which it is, but it’s not my point here), does it provide any additional value over a QR scan, which can easily store a URL or a contact information?

      Contact images, perhaps? Or maybe just aesthetic purposes with however they’re choosing to distribute their contacts, and don’t want to paste QR codes in places. For contact transfer, I don’t think there’s much technical advantage to using NFC over a QR code, since QR codes can fit a lot more data than most people realize.

      Not needed, but convenient. NFC is enabled by default on most phones so all they have to do is touch the card.

          NFC: hold to card, done. Qr: unlock phone, open camera, scan, confirm opening link.

          Granted, it’s 4 seconds vs 0,5 second but still.
