Frequently Asked Questions About NFC Business Card Magnets
1. What is an NFC business card magnet?
An NFC business card magnet is a refrigerator magnet with an embedded NFC (Near Field Communication) chip. When a customer taps it with their smartphone, it instantly opens your chosen destination such as your website, online booking page, Google Reviews, contact information, or digital business card—without downloading an app.
2. How does an NFC magnet work?
The NFC chip stores a secure web link. Modern smartphones simply need to be tapped against the magnet to automatically open the programmed information.

Yes.
If your NFC magnet uses dynamic programming, you can update the destination without replacing the magnet. This allows your marketing to evolve as your business grows.
