Why Should You Use SendContact NFC Cards Instead of QR Codes?

QR codes have become the primary source for sharing information and business details.  Business owners have increased their network using QR codes. But the question is, are QR codes only the way to network? The answer is “NO”.  There is an emerging alternative that offers multiple benefits- SendContact NFC cards. 

If you are doubtful about using NFC cards instead of QR cards, here are some reasons why you shouldn’t.

The dynamics of content management 

The nature of QR codes is static.  After you get a QR code printed on your business card, it links to a specific URL.  Static means you cannot make any changes to your business card. Your contact details will be the same until you reprint your business cards.  And reprinting is costly and time-consuming, especially if you have given your business cards to your customers. 

SendContact, on the other hand, comes with unique UIDs, also known as unique identifiers. Because of these identifiers, you can change the content of your business card whenever needed without reprinting.  The best thing is your NFC business card has the most current information. 

The option of comprehensive contact sharing 

QR codes have restrictions as they direct users to a website or landing page. If you link QR codes to your LinkedIn profile or personal website, your audience will only be redirected to it. They will not get a comprehensive overview of your profession. 

In contrast, SendContact NFC cards offer a comprehensive solution. Users who tap the NFC card in their smartphones access your digital business card.  As the digital business card includes your contact details, social media links, portfolio and others, users get everything in one place. This process is easy for users to get your details as they don’t have to navigate multiple links. 

If your users don’t have an NFC-enabled phone, they can also access your SendContact Card because the app provides a backup QR code. You can also generate a unique universal QR code using the app. Simply open the app and share the QR code to your users.

The option to update instantly and give immediate access

When you use QR codes, your users often get outdated details because you cannot update instantly. If you are in a networking event and your offerings have changed, you cannot share them with your target audience on the spot.  

SendContact NFC cards allow you to instantly update content online. As soon as you update the details, your users will get access to the updated version. This means your users will not be dependent on outdated information and have your latest details. 

The better user experience

People look for convenience today, and nothing can be better than NFC technology. It allows seamless interactions only by a single tapping of an NFC card. This experience is modern and engaging.   

QR codes don’t provide such seamless interactions. Users have to pull their phones out and scan the code to visit the link. Sometimes, the link isn’t clickable or takes time to load.  This is something users don’t like. 

The cost factor 

Though a business card is beneficial, it increases overall company expenses. With SendContact NFC cards, you don’t have to reprint them to add or change details. Also, you don’t generate waste by disposing of outdated business cards. It’s a sustainable option for your business. 

Cards with QR codes need reprinting to include or update details, so they are not sustainable and costly. Even if there are minor changes, cards have to be reprinted. 

Bottom Line 

In today’s digital era, QR codes have a strong position. But SendContact NFC cards are better as they offer a range of advantages.  So, switch to NFC technology for a more efficient, engaging, and sustainable networking experience.
