NFC Window Stickers
Window stickers work great as platforms of providing large amounts of information where surface area is small. They allow simple quick options to ‘like’, ‘follow’ or ”browse’ the web. For example a window sticker would work great as a way of promoting businesses. A restaurant with a NFC window sticker that is closed will still allow a user to access information on operating hours, menus and any special discount available.

NFC Coasters/Beer Mats

A great marketing tool for the bar and restaurant industry. Where before a boring beer mat or coaster would be placed under a glass, an NFC coaster would be a more clever way to market a brand or service. For example a beer brand could guide the user to its app that could contain competitions, games, fun facts and so on.
