NFC, short for \u201cnear-field communication\u201d, allows for your new iPhone to talk to other devices. Although Apple\u2019s main focus is Apple Pay \u2013 where you can pay for your coffee or lunch with the tap of your phone \u2013 the <a href=\"http:\/\/qfuse.com\/learning\/what-is-nfc\">NFC<\/a> tag, in combination with Qfuse, can greatly enhance a business\u2019 marketing potential.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;\">Imagine a customer walking into a store, seeing your product, and being able to tap their phone on a nearby advertisement and automatically viewing a video, or visiting your website. This has even more advantages if you happen to have an e-commerce store; for example, say you sell shoes. A customer walks in, falls in love with a style of shoe, but the store doesn\u2019t have the color they want. Enter NFC \u2013 the customer can tap on the advertisement and instantly get a list of nearby stores that carry your shoes \u2013 and have the color in stock.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;\">The possibilities to using NFC are endless; customers who tap can receive a percentage off one of your products; someone interested in your service can tap to sign up for an e-mail list. The technology can even expand to outside of a store. <a href=\"http:\/\/qfuse.com\/qr-codes-for-business\">Billboards<\/a> on bus stops can contain NFC tags, which can be tapped for more information; they can also be embedded within <a href=\"http:\/\/qfuse.com\/learn-more\/qr-code-posters\">stand-alone posters <\/a>in malls or grocery stores, directing the customer to a sale or new product within the vicinity. This is advertising in its most interactive \u2026 any matter of information can be directed to the tapped smart phone, such as current and local reviews, website landing pages, even app download!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;\">Qfuse can help manage your NFC-enriched promotions, from one NFC tag to a 100 or more. By tracking the amount of people who use the NFC, including where they are, what time of day, etc., you can improve your promotions immensely. Qfuse can also generate unique, user-friendly <a href=\"http:\/\/qfuse.com\/learning\/mobile-landing-pages\">mobile landing pages <\/a>\u2013 so that when someone does use your NFC, they are brought to a landing page that shows beautifully on any mobile phone, and includes all of the important details.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;\">What about the smart phone users who are not NFC-enabled? Qfuse allows you to generate QR codes that link to the exact same places as the NFC tags do; ensuring your entire audience is covered, no matter what phone they carry. As well, the software-as-a-service allows you to pass along the data from your NFC codes to other programs, including Salesforce. Data are one of a business\u2019s most important tools\u2014and can be highly effective when <a href=\"http:\/\/qfuse.com\/blog\/4-nfc-best-practices\/\">used properly<\/a>. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;\">NFC isn\u2019t a new technology \u2013 it\u2019s been around in Android phones for a while now. According to Statista, Apple has about 19.8 per cent of the mobile market, so far in 2014. And since Apple is so good at advertising its features, NFC is on the verge of booming \u2013 meaning now is the best time to get ahead of your competitors and <a href=\"http:\/\/qfuse.com\/signup\">get started with NFC and Qfuse<\/a>.<\/span><a name=\"_GoBack\"><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tuesday, Sept. 9, 2014 saw Apple release its newest version of iPhone to the public \u2013 the iPhone 6, complete with a larger screen, back to the bevelled edges, and even NFC.
