NFC business card or counter stand for reviews?
2 September 2026 · 3 min read
Both hold the same chip and the same link. The question is whether the sign needs to be seen without anyone mentioning it.
Stands get passive taps
A stand is visible from across a counter, stays where you put it, and is heavy enough not to walk off. Customers tap it without being asked, which is the only kind of review you collect when staff are busy.
Cards travel
Cards suit mobile trades — a mechanic, a trainer, a photographer — where the sign has to be in a bag and handed over. They also work for restaurants using them as table talkers, one per table at a lower cost than stands.
What most shops end up with
A stand at each till, plus a handful of cards for staff who work away from the counter. The stand carries the routine; the cards cover the exceptions.
Questions, answered
- Can a card be printed with our logo?
- Yes — cards and stands can carry a printed business name, which helps customers recognise what they are tapping.
- How many cards per table for a restaurant?
- One per table, replaced a few times a year. They take more wear than a stand does.
