Why integrate NFC into your brand & retail strategies?

Near Field Communication, abbreviated NFC, is a form of contactless technology that allows two devices — like your smartphone and a payments terminal—to talk to each other when they’re close together. NFC is the technology that enables contactless payments.
With NFC, a user waves their smartphone over an NFC compatible device to send or receive information without needing to touch the devices together or go through multiple steps setting up a connection. Fast and convenient, NFC technology first gained popularity in parts of Europe and Asia and is quickly spreading throughout the United States.
Advantages of NFC
High customer perception
High smartphone adoption
High security / Authentication / Exclusive content
High value – Use-cases span the entire customer journey & product life-cycle.
No codes or apps needed.
The major advantage of NFC is its flexibility. Storing different types of information and changing it on a whim is possible without ever creating a new NFC tag. An owner can simply overwrite the information currently on the tag and create new info.
NFC is only activated when your phone or other smart device is right next to a terminal or an NFC tag so you have complete control over what you choose to connect to.
There are no apps to download or codes to enter and NFC does not drain your battery.
With just one tap, your customers can connect to a world of convenience, information, and enhanced experiences– in-store, at home, around town, and while traveling.
The power of NFC means the technology can often work best when embedded in consumer products – creating an authentic connection between brands and customers. This connection can be leveraged throughout the entire customer journey, from pre-purchase to post-purchase.
Because NFC tags also include a secure element to thwart duplication, they enable product authentication and the ability to serve exclusive content. This functionality is simply not possible with other technologies like QR codes.
With NFC-enabled products, businesses can provide branded content directly to customers in-store long before a sales rep can take note. Once a customer understands the value of a product and is ready to purchase they can skip the checkout line, and instead purchase the item right from their phone.
After the sale, brands can provide value-add content to consumers to ensure they get the most out of their purchase. Brands can use this new stream of customer insight to fuel future product decisions.
Because NFC tags can be embedded into consumer goods, and are not discarded after the sale, they are a highly effective way to deploy engaging experiences throughout the entire customer journey. Consequently, brands can now engage customers after the sale with value-add content and gain customer feedback to inform better product decisions. As a result, NFC extends the value chain for a product.
With it’s vast capabilities having been embraced by Apple, NFC’s rapid adoption is a result of the technology’s many advantages. Consumers often see this technology as more sophisticated than QR codes, causing NFC-enabled products to become highly sought after items.
