How to Make an Electronic Business Card to Attach to Outlook
Electronic business cards are saved as vCards. Like physical business cards, an electronic business card may include your name, contact information, photograph and other details. Since the business card is electronic, you can also include a physical link to a website or email address. You can attach the electronic card to Outlook and send it with each message as you would your email signature. The vCard can be imported into Outlook if it's not already there.
