How Global Jet Saved 1500 Hours a Year with V1CE Digital Business Cards

In a business where every detail speaks volumes, Global Jet realized its networking tools needed an upgrade. Traditional business cards no longer align with their luxury-first image or sustainability goals. That’s why they turned to V1CE digital business cards to modernize how they share contact information, eliminate waste, and elevate every client interaction. The result? A streamlined, elegant solution that saves time and makes a lasting impression.

Results: Elevated Experiences and Tangible Benefits

The numbers speak for themselves. Since launching V1CE virtual business cards across their global sales team, Global Jet has achieved measurable impact:

• An estimated £12,000 ($15,500) annual savings by eliminating paper card printing and shipping costs
• Over 1,500 hours saved in manual administrative tasks and follow-up coordination
• A 28% increase in lead conversions from networking events compared to the previous year
• 90% reduction in printed marketing collateral thanks to digital sharing via NFC and QR code
• A projected 7.5 metric tons reduction in carbon footprint annually through waste and emissions cuts

Background: Global Jet’s Luxury in the Sky

Global Jet is synonymous with luxury, exclusivity, and elite-level service. As a premier player in private aviation, it caters to an international clientele seeking the highest standards in personal air travel. Global Jet’s brand has always been about excellence, discretion, and innovation, from bespoke jet interiors to end-to-end flight arrangements. However, as its in-person networking efforts evolved, its traditional methods of client outreach, particularly through paper business cards, began to feel outdated.

With a commitment to delivering exceptional service in every touchpoint, the Global Jet team realized they needed a contact sharing solution that matched their brand’s elegance, agility, and modernity.

The Challenge: When Paper Business Cards No Longer Fly

For a company offering world-class, technology-forward services, handing over a paper card at a networking event or executive meeting felt like a misstep. For several reasons, paper business cards quickly became a bottleneck in Global Jet’s brand experience, highlighting the need to create digital business cards.

Firstly, they offered limited space for conveying key details. “Paper business cards couldn’t keep up with everything we wanted to share,” explains Belina Benard, Marketing Assistant at Global Jet. There was no room to present interactive elements, personalized content, or in-depth service information—let alone video tours or digital brochures.

Secondly, they were inconvenient to update. Every time a new promotion launched, an aircraft catalog changed, or staff roles shifted, new cards had to be printed, shipped, and distributed. This led to wasted time and a growing carbon footprint, especially for a company committed to eco-friendly operations.

And lastly, paper cards were simply not impressive enough. In a space where potential clients expect digital-first, tailored experiences, handing over static, physical cards was no longer cutting it. The versatility and benefits of an electronic business card offer a modern solution, ensuring contact information is always up-to-date and easily shareable across various platforms.

The Solution: Smart Business Cards that Elevate the Brand

To overcome these challenges, Global Jet partnered with V1CE to roll out a modern, professional solution: digital business cards powered by NFC technology.

The move was bold but intuitive. V1CE’s smart business cards allowed Global Jet’s sales and marketing teams to share far more than just basic contact information. In just a few clicks—or a simple tap of an NFC card—staff could instantly deliver:

• Personalized promotional content
• Interactive service overviews
• Jet interior tours and multimedia assets
• FAQ resources for new clients
• Real-time updates for special offers or event invites

These weren’t just digital cards—they were miniature, completely customizable portals to the Global Jet experience.

The result? A contact-sharing method that felt as polished, elevated, and luxurious as the brand itself.

Implementation: A Strategic, Seamless Integration

Rolling out V1CE’s digital business card app across its global sales team was swift and smooth. Each staff member was equipped with a sleek, branded digital card that could be accessed via NFC card or QR code, making it compatible with both iPhone and Android phones.

The cards integrated easily into Global Jet’s existing tech stack, eliminating manual data entry and allowing staff to instantly share content during networking events, in lounges, and even mid-flight when connected online.

The digital business card works straightforwardly: users can share their information via QR codes or social media, and recipients can save and share their information with the sender.

“The digital card is easy to use,” Belina shared. “It facilitates quick and effortless sharing of our contacts.”

The user-friendly interface also meant that even less tech-savvy staff could adopt the new approach with minimal training. Instead of fumbling through printed paper cards or brochures, team members now deliver a polished, digital-first introduction using their NFC business card.

Since adopting V1CE’s digital business card platform, Global Jet has seen transformation across multiple dimensions:

• Enhanced Professionalism: Each interaction now delivers multimedia-rich, up-to-date experiences that match the company’s premium brand. Adding a company logo to digital business cards is easy, enhancing personal branding and professionalism.
• Cost Savings: There will be no more printing, shipping, or wasting unused cards, especially with teams that frequently update titles or locations.
• Increased Efficiency: Sharing contact info and service material takes seconds, saving hours previously spent on follow-ups or physical card prep.
• Reduced Waste: By eliminating the need for paper cards, the company has made a measurable step toward reducing its carbon footprint.
• Stronger Lead Generation: Being able to instantly share immersive, branded experiences during meetings has driven better engagement and new leads.

Staff have been particularly enthusiastic about how the digital cards support them in day-to-day conversations with clients and partners. Instead of distributing basic contact details, they now deliver high-impact materials designed to impress prospects and close more deals. Integration with Apple Wallet further enhances the convenience and accessibility of these virtual business cards.
