The Basic Steps to Integrating NFC
Choose a Tag
There are various NFC tag options—be sure to choose a version that supports the features you need for the idea.
Design the Experience
Select or create the digital content that users will access via the NFC tag. This can be as simple as a landing page or as interactive as an event ticket with RSVP and calendar prompts.
Integrate Into Direct Mail
Design your mailpiece around the tag, with clear directions on why and how to tap. Work with your vendor to program, embed, and test.
Monitor and Optimize
With analytics tools, you’ll be able to track how many people are interacting with your NFC and the actions they are taking.
