QR Codes vs. Tap Technology: Why TapMo Uses Both
In the world of digital networking, there are two main contenders fighting for dominance: The QR Code (Quick Response Code) and NFC (Near Field Communication). You might be asking, "Which one should I use?"
At TapMo, we believe you shouldn't have to choose. Here is why the ultimate networking tool combines the speed of NFC with the reliability of a QR code.
The Speed of NFC (The "Tap")
NFC is the "magic" factor.
- Pros: It is instant. You simply touch the card to the back of a phone, and a notification appears. It feels premium and effortless.
- Cons: Very old smartphones (mostly pre-2018) might not have NFC enabled by default.
The Reliability of QR Codes (The "Scan")
QR codes are the reliable workhorse. Since the pandemic, almost everyone knows how to scan a QR code.
- Pros: Works on literally any smartphone with a camera.
- Cons: It’s slightly slower. You have to unlock the phone, open the camera app, focus on the code, and click the link.
Why TapMo is a Hybrid
We designed the TapMo Card with NFC inside and a custom QR code printed on the back (or front, depending on your design).
- Plan A: Go for the Tap. It impresses people and is incredibly fast.
- Plan B: If they have an older phone, flip the card over and let them scan the QR code.
Don't limit your networking. By using a TapMo Card, you ensure 100% compatibility with every client you meet, regardless of what phone they carry.
