Get More Google Reviews<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the most useful applications of NFC technology is making it easier for customers to leave reviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead of giving customers a long instruction such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOpen Google, search for our business, find our profile and click reviews\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can simply provide an NFC card or NFC review stand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The customer taps their phone and is taken directly to your Google review page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This can be particularly useful for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Restaurants<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hotels<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Guest houses<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Salons<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Barbers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Retail stores<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Car dealerships<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Service businesses<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Caf\u00e9s<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Events and hospitality businesses<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A review request becomes much easier when the customer doesn&#8217;t have to search for your business manually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Share Your Contact Details<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An NFC card can function as a modern digital business card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead of printing your contact details on paper, the card can take someone to a digital profile containing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Your Name<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Job Title<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Company<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Phone Number<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Email<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Website<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Social Media<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>WhatsApp<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Location<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The recipient can then choose how they want to connect with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is especially useful for professionals who attend networking events, meetings, conferences and business functions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Share Your Social Media Profiles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Social media is an important part of how many businesses communicate with customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, telling someone:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur Instagram is @examplebusiness\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">still requires them to search for the account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An NFC card can take customers directly to your social media page or a page containing all your social platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You could use one card to connect customers with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Instagram<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Facebook<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>TikTok<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>LinkedIn<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>YouTube<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>X<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This creates a single digital gateway for your online presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Give Customers Access to Your Menu<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Restaurants, caf\u00e9s, bars and hospitality businesses can use NFC technology to provide digital menus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Imagine a customer sitting at a table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead of searching for your website or scanning a complicated printed QR code, they simply tap the NFC card or table stand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The digital menu opens on their phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can use NFC for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Restaurant menus<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drinks menus<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Event menus<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Room service menus<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Product catalogues<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Service lists<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Price lists<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And because the destination is digital, you can update the online menu without printing hundreds of new cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Make Bookings Easier<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Businesses that depend on appointments and reservations can also use NFC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your card could direct customers to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Booking forms<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Appointment systems<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>WhatsApp<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Contact forms<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reservation pages<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Consultation forms<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, a salon could have an NFC card at the reception desk saying:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u201cTap to Book Your Next Appointment.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A customer taps the card and immediately reaches the booking page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Promote Your Website or Online Store<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your NFC card can also act as a shortcut to your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead of giving someone a printed website address, you can allow them to tap and open your website immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For an online store, the card could take customers directly to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Your shop<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A product collection<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A special promotion<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A new product<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A landing page<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A catalogue<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This makes the NFC card more than a contact-sharing tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It becomes a <strong>physical entry point into your digital business.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Connect Customers to WhatsApp<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For businesses that rely heavily on WhatsApp, NFC can make starting a conversation easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A customer can tap the card and be directed to your WhatsApp chat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is useful for businesses such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Retailers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Service providers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Real estate agents<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Restaurants<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Event businesses<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Freelancers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Online sellers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead of asking customers to save a number first, the NFC card can help take them directly to the conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NFC vs QR Codes: Which Is Better?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\"

1588w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NFC and QR codes are not necessarily competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In fact, they work very well together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A QR code requires the customer to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Open their camera<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Point it at the QR code<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tap the notification<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Open the link<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NFC can reduce the interaction to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Tap \u2192 Open<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, QR codes have one major advantage: they can be scanned by phones without NFC functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is why a good business NFC product can include <strong>both NFC and a QR code<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This gives customers two ways to access your digital destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NFC<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Tap your phone.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">QR Code<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Scan with your camera.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Together, they provide a convenient experience for more customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do NFC Cards Need Batteries?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is one of the reasons NFC cards are so convenient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The NFC chip does not normally require its own battery to store a basic website link.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The smartphone provides the electromagnetic field required to communicate with the passive NFC chip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That means your NFC card can sit in your wallet, on a counter or on a table without needing to be charged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do Customers Need an App?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For standard NFC cards programmed with web links, customers generally don&#8217;t need a special app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A compatible smartphone can detect the NFC tag and open the associated link through the phone&#8217;s operating system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, NFC behaviour can vary depending on the smartphone model, operating system and settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is another reason why providing a <strong>QR code alongside NFC<\/strong> can be useful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are NFC Cards Reusable?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes \u2014 depending on how the NFC card is configured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An NFC chip can store a programmed destination, and certain NFC chips can be rewritten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the best setup for a business is often to use the NFC card to point to a <strong>digital link that you control<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>NFC Card \u2192 Your Digital Link \u2192 Destination<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This can give you greater flexibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your Google review URL, menu or booking page changes, you may be able to update the destination without replacing every physical NFC card, depending on how the product was configured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This makes NFC particularly attractive for businesses that want a long-term digital marketing tool rather than a disposable printed card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NFC

biggest misconceptions about NFC is that it is simply a replacement for traditional business cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It can be much more than that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Think of an NFC product as a <strong>physical button that launches a digital action.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The physical product sits in the real world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The NFC technology connects it to the digital world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>NFC Table Stand<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2192 Digital Menu<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>NFC Review

businesses in Zimbabwe, digital customer engagement is becoming increasingly important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Customers are already using smartphones to discover businesses, communicate through WhatsApp, search Google, follow brands on social media and access online services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NFC provides a bridge between the physical business environment and those digital behaviours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A customer can walk into a restaurant and tap an NFC menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A client can meet a business owner and tap an NFC business card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A customer can finish a service and tap an NFC review card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A shopper can tap an NFC product display and learn more about the product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The technology itself is simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The value comes from <strong>what you connect it to.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How CraftsbyHamilton NFC Products Work<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At CraftsbyHamilton, our goal is to make NFC technology practical and accessible for businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The process is simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1 \u2014 Choose Your <a href=\"https:\/\/craftsbyhamilton.com\/shop\">NFC Product<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Select the NFC product that fits your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This could be a:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Business card<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Google review card<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Table stand<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Counter display<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Product tag<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Other NFC solution<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2 \u2014 Provide Your Business Details<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Send us the information required for your product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on the product, this may include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Business name<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Logo<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Contact details<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Website<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Social media links<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Google review link<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>WhatsApp number<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Menu<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Booking link<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3 \u2014 We Set It Up<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We prepare the digital destination and configure the NFC product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We then test the experience to make sure the card or product works as intended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4 \u2014 Receive Your Product<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your NFC product is ready to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Place it where customers can easily see and interact with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Tap. Connect. Grow.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where Should You Put Your NFC Card?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Placement matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An NFC product should be positioned somewhere customers naturally interact with your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Restaurants<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Place NFC products:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>On tables<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>At the counter<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Near the entrance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>At reception<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On menus<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hotels<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Place them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>At reception<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In rooms<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Near information desks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>At restaurant areas<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Salons<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Place them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>At reception<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>At payment counters<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Near mirrors<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In waiting areas<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Retail Stores<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Place them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>At checkout<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Beside products<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Near promotional displays<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>At customer service desks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The key is visibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Customers need to understand <strong>what happens when they tap.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A simple call-to-action such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u201cTap to Leave a Review\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">or<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u201cTap to Contact Us\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">can make the purpose immediately clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NFC Can Improve the Customer Experience<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Good technology should not make things more complicated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It should make things easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is the real benefit of NFC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead of asking customers to remember information, search for your business or manually type a link, NFC can provide a direct path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The customer sees the product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They tap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They arrive at the destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That small improvement can make your business feel more modern, organised and digitally connected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NFC Is a Small Product With a Big Purpose<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An NFC card may look simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But behind that small card is an opportunity to connect your physical business to your digital presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your card can become:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A business card.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A review tool.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A marketing tool.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A customer service tool.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A booking shortcut.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A digital menu.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A social media gateway.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A website shortcut.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The important question isn&#8217;t simply:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat does NFC do?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The better question is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u201cWhat do I want my customer to do?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you know the answer, NFC can help you create a simple path from the physical world to that digital action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ready to Make Your Business More Connected?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether you want to collect more Google reviews, share your contact details, promote your social media, provide a digital menu or make it easier for customers to contact you, an NFC product can give your business a simple digital touchpoint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>CraftsbyHamilton creates NFC solutions designed around your
