If you've ever felt the pain of being at a networking event without any business cards on hand, you'll be happy to know thatPopl uses Near Field Communication (NFC) and QR Code technologies—-with an NFC business card, you’ll never caught unprepared.
NFC business cards are digital versions of your standard business cards. Popl offers a variety of digital business card products fromwristbands,cards, andkeychains. These digital business cards store all of the information that would be on a paper business card, but they can also include other types of information such as website URLs, social media profiles, or contact information.
While NFC business cards can easily be shared electronically via QR code or a link, the smoothest way to swap them is by tapping your NFC-enabled device against the other person's device.
If you're wondering why NFC technology is the next big thing for business cards, there are a few key reasons:
NFC business cards have a lot of advantages over traditional paper business cards. But how do you make one?

There are several apps available that allow you to create NFC business cards. You can try out different ones to find one that suits you best or go straight to Popl, a leader in the NFC business cards’ boom in the last few years.
Both the App Store and the Play Store carries the Popl app. While the basic functionalities of the Popl are free, some of the more advanced ones, such as creating NFC business cards with embedded video, are available only in the paid version.
The next step is to create your NFC business card. This process will be slightly different depending on which app you're using, but most apps have a variety of templates to choose from.
Popl, for example, offers a wide range of templates for both personal and professional use. You can alsocreate a custom design or use one of your own photos as the background of your NFC business card.
We generally advocate for users to stick to templates when starting. That way, you can be sure that your NFC business card will be correctly formatted and you can focus on the content of your card rather than the design.
However, if you’re feeling creative or confident in your design skills and want to create a one-of-a-kind card, go for it! Just remember to tailor your NFC business card design to fit the purpose. If you're using it for personal use, feel free to add some fun graphics or photos. But if you're using it for business, stick to a more professional look.
Now it's time to fill in all the information that you want to share. As mentioned earlier, you'll want to include your name, contact information, job title, and other relevant details.
If you have a website or blog, you might also want to include the URL. If you're active on social media, be sure to list your handles too! Other useful info you might want to include here are:
Having unlimited space can be a curse and a blessing, so use it wisely. You want your NFC business card to be as comprehensive as possible but without going overboard.
It might be tempting to cram in as much information as you can, but remember that your NFC business card is just a gateway—not a destination in itself. Get in the door first, and then let the receiver follow up with you later.
Once you've filled in all the information, it's time to preview your card. This is a crucial step, as you want to make sure that everything looks correct before you share your NFC business card.
If there are any mistakes, now is the time to fix them. Try to view your new NFC business card across different devices and platforms to see how it will look in different situations.
/**/After you've finalized your card, it's time to start sharing it via QR code, email, or social media platforms. If you have a Popl device, you can even share it with a simple pop of your device.
/**/With your NFC business card in tow, you're ready to take your business (or social life) to the next level! NFC business cards are a quick, easy, and convenient way to share your information with others. So go ahead and try out NFC business cards for yourself.

Hello team,
I am new to this technology but I’m sure I’ll be able to start a nfc business myself. I surfed through internet and most of the places its talking about making a nfc card your own. From what I understood there are some cons for starting a brand myself, such as site maintenance, card replacement issues and updating cards. After which I found your website, so I would like to know more about the differences of starting a business model with your support and making myself a brand. For me reselling is the best thing as I work in a physical store with plenty of high street customers and I don’t want to take the burden of full maintenance to my head. I could occasionally help them update and include details to their card, reprint if needed but not something like maintenance of the website.
My intentions are to start selling nfc cards which I could design and acquire from a business like you to resell for my customers. And my customers should be able to control a part of the cards like updating basic details like email and number; the reason for me want to invest like this is because I don’t want my customers in a jeopardy if the business is not going well and if I decide to stop the business they would get no place to rectify the cards.
Please do explain to me a business model I could make use of, and then do proceed with the technical details and the accessories I would need in my store. Also explain to me about the charges for you to make this happen and inform me asap if this isn’t possible.
