NFC’s elusive technology has the power to revive brick-and-mortar retail and is already dominating marketing globally. This clever technology is predicted to boom in the next few years, partly due to the rise in worldwide popularity of Smartphone usage.
Both Apple and Android Smartphones have in built NFC technology, which now enables customers to access information directly on their phone when tapping any NFC programmed tag or device. It’s predicted that by 2020, Android phones will account for 85 per cent of all Smartphones globally, with over 2 billion NFC featured devices currently operating worldwide. Tech specialists predict that this technology will continue to grow by up to 20 per cent over the next few years.
With NFC marketing, the possibilities are endless. Audiences and consumers are constantly seeking new developments in accessing products and information digitally, and with NFC programmed tagging, this technology can be used on a variety of marketing tools and products to help revitalise current marketing strategies and targeted campaigns for business. In basic use, NFC technology can be applied to retail displays and product packaging, with customers being able to quickly access any information on products and sales, as well as be able to find contact details easily, or access any offers and rewards at a faster speed. It’s beneficial to be able to access information such as this faster digitally, as if you are unable to do this, you are at risk of customers not keeping engaged with your business and are at risk of being beaten to the punch by other competitors. In fact whether you have an up-to-date and well-structured digital plan for marketing or not can be a deciding factor in whether your business fails or succeeds.
