What are NFC Touchpoints?

Rita Robinette — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 15:25:37 +0000

NFC (Near Field Communication) is a new technology for mobile phones that allows an NFC sensor chip to be recognized by simply tapping it with an NFC-enabled phone or holding the phone in close proximity to it. An NFC touchpoint can be used to automatically make a payment, download a coupon, or open a website, video, or other digital content.

Currently, the NFC technology usage is not widespread because there are only a limited number of mobile devices designed with NFC sensors. Despite the complexity and expense of producing materials (or products) with embedded chips, NFC is a growing technology platform that can be used to address a variety of scenarios where a user can “tap” (rather than “scan”) a physical item to bring up a companion digital experience.

. Please check with your phone manufacturer if your mobile phone includes NFC hardware. Since the mobile market is evolving, it is difficult to list all phones that support NFC. The most popular phones we know of in North America are:

Nexus S
HTC Amaze 4G
Samsung Galaxy S II

Tag Reader that Recognizes QR Codes and Microsoft Tags

Rita Robinette — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 15:02:39 +0000

Microsoft recently introduced new mobile marketing solutions that gives you some flexible options on how to engage your audience. Now you can use Microsoft’s Tag Manager to create Microsoft Tags, QR (quick response) codes and NFC touchpoints along with reporting to measure your advertising campaign’s performance. These new tools also provide the means to update your Microsoft Tags, QR Codes and NFC urls whenever you need to.

Microsoft Tags to Raise Curiosity
Tag barcodes continue to deliver the great experience you’ve become accustomed to, providing a customizable look and feel, a smaller size, and tremendous scanning reliability. Tag barcodes also offer Real Time Location and Device ID to let you truly personalize your campaigns.

Quick Response (QR) Codes to Grab Their Attention
We’ve expanded our 2D barcode offering to include the traditional QR Code format. QR Codes created using Tag Manager will have the standard look and feel of other QR generators, but also offer the flexibility that you enjoy with Tag barcodes, including updating content on the fly and advanced reporting. QR Codes created with Tag Manager and scanned using the Tag app can also deliver location and device aware experiences. QR Codes created in Tag Manager can be scanned by third-party apps too, so you won’t lose any connection with your customers.

Near Field Communication (NFC) Touch ‘N Go
Near Field Communication (NFC) is the latest and greatest in mobile technology. While still in the early stages, several Android devices come NFC-enabled, providing you a unique way to engage with your customers. They simply tap their device to the touchpoint to launch their mobile experience and away they go! You can create NFC URLs using Tag Manager and then provide those to third-party NFC vendors to create your touchpoints. NFC URLs can be updated at any time, saving you valuable time and money in keeping your touchpoints relevant. Use our reporting to measure every ‘tap’ and see where and how often people are engaging with your content.
