What are NFC Tags and QR Codes?

NFC Tags are small readable labels made with a tiny computer chip that allows it to transfer information directly to a Smartphone’s with a simple “tap.” QR codes are small readable codes made up of black and white squares. A QR code works much the same way, a Consumers scans the QR code using a Smartphone camera and can then access nearly limitless information.

A Simple Engagement Solution

A simple point of purchase sign can give you instant shopper engagement. For instance, if your customers tap an NFC tag or scans a QR code you can direct them to any number of different results. You may display a video full of product information, send customers to a landing page, encourage sign up for a newsletter or even provide a discount coupon to purchase a particular product. As a side note, many people wait for a coupon for a particular product, so instead of making them wait for it to arrive in a newsletter, why not provide it right away instead of taking the chance the customer will make his or her purchase elsewhere.

Get Social

Social media of all types is one of the best ways to engage your customers. Why don’t your shoppers connect with you, give reviews, collect special offers or subscribe to newsletters? Often it is because they simply forget. Now with QR codes and NFC tags you can help them connect with you while they are still in the store. After you make the connection, all you have to do is find new ways to engage with people and social media makes it easy.
