Setting up your NFC social media products

Setup starts with one decision: where should customers go when they tap the plate? Once the destination is set, Steevanz writes, locks and tests the chips, and you just need to put them in the right place.

Choosing a destination

Setup steps

1. 1

   Gather your links

   Copy the full address of each profile, for example https://www.instagram.com/yourbusinessname. Make sure the profiles are public.

2. 2

   Send them to Steevanz

   Send the links, your logo and, for business cards, the contact details (name, job title, mobile, email, address). WhatsApp or email both work.

3. 3

   Approve the preview

   We send you a preview of the links page or digital card. Ask for any changes before we write the chips.

4. 4

   Receive and place

   The plates arrive written, locked and tested. Put them in the spots you've chosen.

5. 5

   Test on site

   Tap each plate with an iPhone and an Android phone and scan the QR code with the camera to confirm the destination.

Where to place them

• By the till, where customers wait with their phone in hand.
• On tables, next to the menu or your Google review stand.
• In the shop window, on the inside of the glass: NFC works through thin glass, but always test it.
• On salon mirrors, where clients tend to take photos.

Combining with other products

Many businesses pair a social media plate with an NFC Google review plate. Label them clearly ("Follow us" and "Review us") so customers know what each one does.
