NFC (Near Field Communication) is a technology that has been around for decades. An NFC tag is a paper-thin wire antenna and a tiny chip that can be programmed once or multiple times to store different types of data. If you have stayed in any hotel and used a card similar to a credit card to open your room door, or if you have had a small tag (often like a teardrop shape) at work to open doors or to facilitate engine start or operation of any item… you have used an NFC-encoded device. If you have purchased a new phone in a box recently, you may have noticed this tag. The antenna setting could be rectangular or round. To “read”, or “scan” an NFC-coded item, you must have a phone or a device that has the ability to read, or communicate using the NFC signals. Most newer smartphones today have this ability

If you have made payments using “WiFi – Tap”, which became more in demand during Corona times (COVID-19), then you too have used the system… your bank card already has the NFC chip in it. If you have been to a filling station (Middle East) and noticed the guy filling your car pulling his badge and bringing it close to the pump before starting the pump, then you have seen the NFC-enabled card in action. Sometimes people refer to NFC card reader machines as NFC – Tap, or WiFi-Tap

With NFC-Tap or WiFi Can cards you can enhance your business tremendously. Literarily for the cost of a good cup of coffee you can catapult your business ahead of your competition.

Some of the uses include programming the tag/chip to direct your customers to any of your social media or review accounts such as Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook, Google Reviews, WhatsApp, WeChat, etc. You can even program the tag/chip with URL to your website, or map link, and more. For personal use, you can have your business card stored in the tag/chip, so you never have to make another business card.
