Advantages and Disadvantages of NFC Cards and Business Cards

Advantages

Instant Contact Exchange

One of the main advantages of modern NFC digital business cards is the ability to quickly exchange contact information with a single touch of the NFC card to a phone. However, it should be noted that not all mobile devices support NFC. Therefore, many NFC business cards include a QR code for contact exchange.

Cost Savings with NFC Cards

For personal use, you can purchase NFC cards from various sources, such as AliExpress. However, for full use as an electronic business card online, you need to program the chip and link the card to the data editor of your electronic business card.

Image Enhancement

NFC virtual business card in the form of cards are suitable as part of the image component of your electronic corporate business card. For example, when a company employee pulls out an NFC business card made of metal or precious wood from their jacket pocket during a business meeting, it leaves a lasting impression on partners.

Printing Cost Savings

Just like electronic business cards, NFC business cards significantly save a company's budget on designing and printing standard paper business cards.

Disadvantages

Risk of Losing NFC Business Cards

With NFC business cards, you still need to have a physical business card (or a similar NFC option like tags, keychains, stickers) to share your contact information, and you need to be in close proximity to another person. Additionally, NFC business cards can be lost, and in such cases, you would need to reorder them.

Lack of Mobile Apps for Many NFC Business Card Services

Another drawback of most NFC business card services is the absence of mobile applications. You can only make changes or deletions to your business card through your personal account on the service's website.

One NFC Card Equals One Business Card

If you need more than one business card, you'll have to purchase additional NFC cards. In this case, NFC business cards complement a full-fledged electronic business card service.

Limited Customization Options for the Electronic Version of NFC Business Cards at Many Companies in the Market

Many NFC business card services on the market lack a corporate version of a personal account for electronic NFC business cards, and the customization options for the electronic version of NFC business cards are also limited.
