\"KSIXNFC is becoming a common inclusion even on low-end and mid-range Android and Windows phones these days, offering an easy way to make\u00a0contactless payments in restaurants, stores and more.<\/p>\n

However, NFC can do much more than that — you can also use it to share messages, URLs and other information whenever someone taps their phone to a label — like these ones from KSIX<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here are ten ways you could put an NFC label to work — take a look!<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Share your business card, including your website and all of your contact details, with just a tap (and no trip to your local print shop!)<\/li>\n
  2. Send customers to your website, Facebook page or Twitter feed without needing to type in your long URL<\/li>\n
  3. Get your phone ready for a drive, by enabling GPS, disabling WiFi and starting your navigation or music app of choice by using Trigger<\/a>\u00a0and putting an NFC label in your car holder
    \n<\/a><\/li>\n
  4. Allow your friends, family or customers to connect to your WiFi without needing to type in a weird hexadecimal password (or indeed, anything at all)<\/li>\n
  5. Rickroll<\/a> passersby by putting your NFC label in a public place<\/li>\n
  6. Share a secret code to advance a scavenger hunt or pass messages discretely<\/li>\n
  7. Pair automatically with your favourite Bluetooth speaker<\/li>\n
  8. Start your running playlist and turn off notifications before stepping out the door<\/li>\n
  9. Turn on your PC remotely (this one is complicated<\/a>\u00a0to set up, but awesome)<\/li>\n
  10. Integrate with If This, Then That<\/a> to do almost anything when you tap; the only limit is your imagination!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I hope you found these suggestions helpful. If you’ve found any great uses yourself, let us\u00a0know in the comments below!<\/p>\n\n\n
