NFC business cards are the future, and they're starting to take off in a big way! After all, NFC (Near Field Communication) technology is used in many more fields. Business cards are no exception. A card comes into contact with an NFC device or app and voila! Information is exchanged so simply, quickly and easily!

NFC cards take advantage of this technology to facilitate professionals in many ways. Now they can easily provide their details, the map with their location and even a small portofolio with a sample of their work.

How NFC business cards work

NFC business cards are similar to traditional business cards, except they have an embedded NFC (near field communication) chip. This chip allows the card to be read by an NFC-enabled device such as a smartphone or tablet.

When the NFC card comes close to the NFC device, a variety of actions can be triggered.

For example, the card can open a website, add a contact to the address book, or launch a specific application. NFC business cards are a convenient way to share and transfer digital content with potential customers.

Transferring contact information is now easy without having to type everything manually. It essentially replaces the business card you would give to clients whose fate was unknown. Usually the card would be thrown away or lost without the customer even saving your phone.

What can I store on an NFC business card?

There are many different uses for NFC business cards. You can save:

  • Your contact information, such as name, position in the organization, telephone numbers and e-mail
  • Your website
  • Your social media profiles
  • Map with your location (embeddedGoogle Maps)
  • The services you offer
  • Your working hours
  • Your payment accounts
  • Multimedia, such as photos and videos (link to YouTube).

The last one is extremely useful (if you are a photographer for example) to always have a small portfolio of your work with you.
