It is no news that digital business cards have started to replace traditional paper business cards. NFC technology is taking over digital cards and making it easy to share information through a single tap.
While NFC cards are on the rise, NFC chips are getting embedded into various items to share information on the go. Hence, NFC keyrings are also becoming popular due to how portable and durable they are. So, which do you think suits your field of work? NFC keyrings or NFC cards?
Let’s take a look at both NFC keyrings and NFC cards and their features to see which one is capable of representing your brand better!
Professionals at networking events have switched to using NFC cards instead of paper cards.
Many are also using NFC keyrings instead of cards as it is more convenient. The use of paper cards have started to decline, especially at networking events, due to their inability to resist external damage and limited customization options.
