Les NFC business cards may contain contact information such as your name, email address, phone number, physical address, website and other useful information.

When the recipient brings their smartphone close to the NFC business card, the information stored on the NFC chip is read and can be automatically added to the smartphone's contacts.

Step 3: Write the URL

Once the card has been received, you will have to write the URL of the digital profile on the NFC business card. Without this, you will not be able to transmit your contact details to your interlocutor.

On the Play Store and App Store, several NFC writing applications are available.

For example, download NFC Helper > Click on Write > Choose the type of content > Fill in the required information > Write NFC.

Bring your NFC card closer to the phone to finish setting it up.

Tadam! Your NFC connected business card was created easily and quickly, but what happens next? What about the customer service behind it?

The disadvantages of this approach:

• Card not customizable: your company logo is not engraved or printed on the card. Your QR Code is not on the back of the card in case there is a problem with the NFC chip.
• These small details can impact the image and memory that your prospects will have of you and your exchange. In addition, your exchanges can be complicated if the person in front of you does not have NFC activated.
• There is no customer service after you order your card. You are left to yourself.
• No improvement to the product and the personalization platform possible.
• For example, you will never have access to a platform with advanced statistics to track your leads, export them to a CRM, contextualize your meetings etc.
• Some sellers only sell their product in packs. Thus, you will have to order a pack of 5 cards to surely use only one. This is not very eco-friendly.
• The cards are produced in China and therefore are not shipped from France, which leads to heavy pollution. Creating a business card is easy, but it is unlikely to contribute to the preservation of the environment.

As you can see, the handling is not necessarily the easiest, and the product is not yet great. However, there are other solutions.
