From Paper to Digital: Overcoming Objections About NFC Business Cards

From Paper to Digital: Overcoming Objections About NFC Business Cards

Change is uncomfortable, even when it helps people and makes things easier. That’s why some professionals still cling to paper business cards in 2025, even though Tap Tag NFC cards are objectively faster, cheaper, and more effective. Let’s break down the most common objections and why they don’t hold up.

Objection #1: “What if someone doesn’t have NFC?”

Almost every smartphone today supports NFC. iPhones have had it since 2014, and Android devices have supported it even longer. That means your Tap Tag card works for the overwhelming majority of people.

And for the rare case where NFC isn’t available? Tap Tag cards also come with a printed QR code backup. A quick scan with any camera opens the same digital card. No one is left out.

Objection #2: “Isn’t paper cheaper?”

At first, potentially. But over a long period of time, NFC wins by a landslide. Paper cards require endless reprints, shipping, and updates. If your information changes, you throw away your old cards and order new ones.

Tap Tag is a one-time investment. Update your info online whenever you want, without waste, shipping delays, or recurring costs. Over time, NFC is dramatically cheaper than paper.

Objection #3: “Will people actually tap?”

Yes, and they already do. People tap their phones to pay at checkout, get on the subway, open doors, or board flights. Tapping is second nature. Handing someone a Tap Tag card feels modern and familiar.

Tap Tag NFC cards have generated over 68 million taps, and the reaction is almost always: “That’s cool.” And that moment of novelty makes you memorable.

Objection #4: “What if it looks complicated?”

It isn’t. Tapping a phone or scanning a QR code is as simple as it gets. Your contact information appears instantly, with no app download necessary. In fact, it’s easier than manually typing a number or storing a paper card in a wallet.

Objection #5: “My clients are old-fashioned.”

Even older demographics are using smartphones daily. If they use Apple Pay or Google Pay, they can tap a business card. And if they don’t, the QR code backup makes it just as easy. Plus, being the one who introduces them to something new positions you as forward-thinking.

Why These Objections Fade Fast

The first time someone uses your Tap Tag card, they immediately understand why it’s better. They get your info instantly. They don’t lose your card. And you look professional. What was once an objection becomes a selling point.

The Bigger Picture

Paper business cards are disposable. They’re untrackable. They’re outdated. Tap Tag cards are permanent, measurable, sleek, and flexible. One card can generate hundreds of leads over time. It’s not just about changing your card. It’s about upgrading your entire networking strategy.

👉 Upgrade to Tap Tag NFC business cards and leave paper in the past.
