NFC chips in packaging boosts your service offering to your customers!

As the world is becoming connected, consumers are expecting their favorite brands to do more than deliver the best product. Consumers want to have a direct connection with their brands, and a direct engagement. Brand owners want to be able to communicate and engage with their audience based on the physical product they are selling. Being able to create a dialogue between the consumer and the product is just amazing.

Packaging represents a huge opportunity for brands to tap into. With the right application and insights it can be turned into a powerful media channel that communicates and appeals to a diverse audience, enhances your brand message and leverages whatever is relevant in that moment.

Consumers have become hunters rather than surfers

Gen-Z and Gen-X (Millennials), together by far the largest demographic, like to keep it simple. Millennials are defined to be tech-savvy, well-informed, mobile and anxious to discover and experience something before anyone else. Changing consumer behaviour will revolutionise packaging completely.

Interactivity between the package and the consumer is the next avenue to build the romance between your brands and your customers.
