Most business owners or individuals have collected endless numbers of business cards over the years. It is not only the cards’ look and feel that keeps individuals from throwing them but also the representations and stories behind them. However, as time goes by, fewer and fewer people use them and there has been a major shift from physical cards to digital ones.

Business cards have shaped how business owners communicate with their clients, from traditional printed cards to state-of-the-art electronic cards, and now, NFC business cards are the talk of the town. If you are new to NFC cards and wondering what they are, look no further than Cardella.

NFC-enabled cards have now come into place.

These NFC business cards allow NFC-compatible phones (if you can use Apple Pay or other types of tap-to-pay on your phone, then yes, you’re NFC-compatible) to tap on the business card and instantly get a link to the person’s business profile.

Are you considering migrating to an NFC business card? Cardella offers you the business card of the future with the ability to customise it to match the character of your company.

What are NFC business cards?

NFC is an acronym for Near Field Communication.

Near-field communication (NFC) business cards enable you to share your contact information with a single tap. NFC business cards have two components: a digital business card and an NFC tag.

NFC is a wireless technology that uses radio frequency to communicate with devices within 4 cm or less. Therefore, NFC business cards are a type of business card that communicate with a device, often a smartphone, within proximity. These cards are used to direct clients to your business information like your website page of choice, portfolio, or registration forms, tap to call, text, and download an app.

NFC tags come in several forms, like stickers, pop sockets, keychains, and physical cards. They contain tiny microchips, and when tapped to another smartphone, the information paired with your tag (like the link to your business card) automatically appears.

An NFC business card has a chip installed inside it to send information to the device within the range. The chip has a low memory size and only holds a small amount of information. NFC business cards often require an NFC app. This app allows you to program the card and change it as much as you like to fit your needs. The good thing is that you don’t have to be tech-savvy.

Programming your NFC business card lets you control what information you want people to see. You can program it even after you have handed it out to people, and hence you don’t have to worry about recalling for changes or reprinting other cards with different information.

How to create an NFC business card

NFC business cards utilise Near Field Communication technology for storing and exchanging information digitally. Like a key card, NFC cards offer convenience, environmental friendliness, and efficiency by letting your team update their profiles in real-time. In simple terms, just a tap away.

Step zero: make sure you have an NFC-enabled phone! If you don’t have an NFC-enabled phone, you can still finish step 1 and then use the link to generate a QR code to use. Same result!
