Many businesses may not be familiar with near field communication (NFC) technology or NFC marketing. The closest widely-used technology that is similar to NFC technology is QR code messaging. However, QR codes are clumsy and limited in their function. They can be tough to read and hindered by things like poor lighting or a curved surface. More often than not, consumers don’t bother to utilize QR codes because they expect a hassle without a reward. Consumers know that QR codes are unable to do anything more than route a consumer to a simple URL. Unless done with intent, URLs are usually passive experiences that are easy to ignore.

In an NFC marketing campaign, NFC tags are printed and customized with specific data such as interactive advertisements, coupons, text messages, daily deals, videos, free downloads, games, and many other experiences that will draw people into the campaign. NFC campaigns are personal and reach consumers in a unique way. Rather than requiring them to scan a barcode via a sight finder like a QR code, an NFC campaign is something they invite into through their smart phone using the personal act of touch. Consumers simply reach out their phones and tap a NFC tag for an immediate response. Not only are NFC tags easy to use, but they provide a fun and interactive advertisement that can be tailored to reach consumers in increasingly unique formats.
