Using NFC Wearables

Your NFC card or charm is the fastest way to convert in-person conversations into sales.

The Tap Flow

Step by Step

  1. You: "Want tickets to [event]? Tap your phone on my card."
  2. Them: Holds their unlocked phone near your card
  3. Phone: Notification appears with your referral link
  4. Browser: Event page opens automatically
  5. Sale: They purchase, you get credit

Total time: Under 10 seconds.

Making It Work

Positioning

  • Hold card/charm steady
  • Their phone should be within 1-2 inches
  • Works through thin cases (not thick/metal ones)
  • Center of phone works best

Phone Compatibility

Works great:

  • iPhone XS and newer
  • Most Android phones from 2018+
  • Any phone with NFC enabled

May need help:

  • Older iPhones (use QR backup)
  • Budget Android phones (NFC sometimes disabled)
  • Phones with metal cases (remove case)

Troubleshooting

"Nothing happened when they tapped"

  • Ensure their phone is unlocked
  • Try tapping different part of their phone
  • Check if NFC is enabled in their settings
  • Use QR code backup

"It opened but wrong link"

  • Card may need reprogramming
  • Contact support for replacement

When to Use NFC

Best Situations

  • Pre-event conversations: "You going to [venue] Saturday?"
  • At other events: "This same crew is doing [event] next week"
  • Casual encounters: Friends of friends, networking
  • Social situations: Bars, parties, gatherings

Scripts That Work

Direct Approach:

"You heard about [event]? Tap your phone — I'll hook you up."

Soft Approach:

"If you're interested in [event], I can get you in. Just tap here."

Group Approach:

"Anyone trying to go to [venue] this weekend? I've got tickets — just tap."

Maximizing NFC Sales

Volume Strategy

The more people you tap, the more sales you make:

  • Carry card/charm everywhere
  • Mention events in every relevant conversation
  • Don't be shy — people want to know about events

Quality Strategy

Focus on likely buyers:

  • People already asking about nightlife
  • Friends who attend similar events
  • Social connectors who bring groups

Hybrid Approach (Recommended)

  • Use NFC for in-person conversations
  • Share links on social media
  • Follow up with people who tapped but didn't buy

Tracking NFC Sales

Your dashboard shows:

  • Total NFC taps (link opens)
  • Tap-to-sale conversion rate

NFC and link sales are tracked separately so you can optimize both.
