NFC Tags: What Are They & How Do They Work? Near Field Communication (NFC) is the full form of NFC. It's a special tech that enables two devices to interact with one another over short distances, just a few inches apart. You might be using NFC technology without even knowing it! It’s the same tech that allows you to pay for stuff with your credit card or phone, no need to touch anything. Isn’t that cool?
NFC tags are iconic in the flyer and business card world, and when someone taps their phone against yours, they could be led directly to your website, your social media pages, or perhaps a discount or offer. This means that your brochures and flyers will be more memorable and effective. It enables your business to differentiate itself against competitors and perhaps leave an everlasting impression on your customers.
If you run a business, one of the greatest things about NFC tags is that you can tailor them to meet your business objectives. For instance, you can produce NFC-embedded name tags for your staff. When customers tap the name tags with their phones, they can be connected with the personal profile of the employee on your website site or social media channels. People remember names and this proves helpful when you are looking to build strong connections and relationships with customers who visit your business.
If you are a seller of physical products, then NFC tags can actually prove to be pretty useful in terms of tracking what you have in your inventory. You can easily track your inventory levels, track your sales, and get customer notifications when an item is back in stock, this is accomplished by simply attaching an NFC tag to each item or product.
So, not only do you have a comprehensive overview of your inventory flow, but it also adds a seamless and user-friendly experience for your customers. For instance, they can simply tap their phone onto an item’s NFC tag to learn whether it’s in stock or to get an alert when it’s back in stock. It makes the experience easier and more rewarding for everyone.”
Some of the questions I repeated in my mind as I contemplated are:Do you plan to have an event, such as a conference or a gathering? Tags printed with NFC can ease the check-in process significantly and improve the event experience for attendees. Check people in on their way through the door by printing special name tags with NFC technology. This helps you know who is there and makes the process of attendance quicker for attendees.
You can also leverage NFC tags to provide attendees access to exclusive features like downloading event schedules, connecting with fellow attendees, or entering contests and giveaways. It creates a more engaging and interactive experience for attendees who will remember the event long after it has concluded!
