NFC BUSINESS CARDS: THE MAIN FEATURES

In a world dominated by technology and redundant information, having digital business cards that can be shared with NFC technology can be a very important advantage for professionals. Not only to get noticed in the eyes of potential employers or future customers but above all to be remembered.

So, here's how to create a perfect NFC (Near Field Communication) business card knowing not only what its main features are, but also what information should never be missing.


WHAT IS AN NFC DIGITAL BUSINESS CARD?

An NFC business card is nothing more than a completely digital and electronic version of the most classic means of communication, used for years by company figures to share their contact information: the paper business card.

In a communication routine that now passes through smartphones, tablets, laptops, and many other digital devices, NFC business cards are the perfect symptom of Digital Transformation. The right choice for companies and individuals who want something absolutely more convenient and green, but also extremely customizable, engaging, and interactive.

Designed to be shared with anyone, business cards of this type can be sent via the simple tap of two phones or any other enabled device, as well as through the contactless mode, which can usually be activated up to a distance of 10 meters or with the scanning a QR code.


FEATURES AND BENEFITS OF NFC BUSINESS CARDS

This is why having digital business cards with NFC can be, especially for some figures, a strategic choice and of great advantage. Not only for the space available for entering information, which is almost unlimited, and not only because it is a much greener and more eco-sustainable choice than the normal printed version.


Here are all the features and benefits of NFC business cards:

They are more convenient: NFC business cards are very convenient to share. Just make a single version and always have a phone or other device enabled when you intend to exchange them;

Everything is online: you don’t have to worry about them running out to print and order new ones;

They can be updated in real-time: NFC business cards can be updated in real-time for example in the event of a change of job and job role, as well as of address and personal home or location of the company;

An ecological choice against paper waste;

Immediate follow-up: The NFC business card, once exchanged, arrives directly in the recipient’s device, eliminating the risk that contacts are lost;

The whole sharing process is contactless: NFC business cards can be received by anyone, even at a short distance. With online meetings and virtual events becoming the norm, virtual business cards are increasingly important. They can be shared with anyone, but especially anywhere. In fact, it is sufficient to send the link via e-mail, SMS, or social media, or show the QR Code during a video call, to allow others to scan the reading code and thus have instant access to the business card.


NFC BUSINESS CARD, WHAT INFORMATION MUST NOT BE MISSING

Here is the main information relating to your role in the company and your business reality, which should never be missing in a perfect NFC digital business card:

  • Personal information of those who are applying or presenting, i.e. name, surname, and age.
  • Corporate role covered as well as the department or office in which you are working;
  • Company name and logo: If you are unemployed and looking for a new role, enter the title you are applying for;
  • Personal / business contact information: include email, mobile or company extension number, links to Whatsapp and other messaging platforms or video calling services such as Skype;
  • Personal address (for freelancers) and/or operational area of ??the company;
  • Your own photograph: it is essential for the recipient to concretely associate a face with your name;
  • Work badge certifying the position held and belonging to a given company;
  • Link to the website or portfolio: it provides your customers with information on your own figure and on the activity carried out, but it can also increase sales and leads as well as showcase, through a display of the projects carried out your skills and competences;
  • Social Media: especially for some jobs, engaged in creativity and content creation, a link to your social profiles is essential as long as they are really institutional and able to show something more about your skills and the ability to attract the public;
  • Link to live streaming apps (Twitch, Discord) or creative platforms like Behance that have the same function as a portfolio, highlighting your experiences.
