Instagram and TikTok get the attention, but Facebook is still where many customers in Pakistan look up a shop, a home business or a service before they buy. A Facebook NFC card gets customers from your counter to your page in one tap.
How it works
The card holds your Facebook page link. When a customer taps it with their phone, your page opens in the Facebook app, or in the browser if the app is not installed. They can follow, like, message or read your posts.
Which link should you use?
You have three choices, and they suit different goals:
- Your main page link (facebook.com/yourpage): best for growing followers.
- Your Reviews or Recommendations section: best if you want customers to recommend you. Copy the link from that tab and send it to us.
- Your Messenger link: best if you take orders through Messenger.
Each card holds one link, so choose the goal that matters most.
Where to place it
- Shops and boutiques: at the billing counter and in bags.
- Home-based businesses: in every delivery, so repeat customers can find you again.
- Restaurants and cafés: on the table or counter, so guests can see offers and events.
- Real estate agents and car dealers: at showrooms and open houses.
- Schools and academies: at reception for parents.
Make your page worth following
A card can only send people to a page. Before you place cards, check that:
- your profile picture and cover photo are clear,
- your contact details and opening hours are filled in,
- you posted something recently.
Combine it with WhatsApp
Facebook builds trust; WhatsApp closes the sale. Put a WhatsApp card next to your Facebook card so customers can either follow or order. Read the WhatsApp card guide.
Ask for reviews too
Reviews on Facebook and Google both influence new customers. Add a Google review card and ask every customer. Cards are sold wholesale with a minimum order of 100 pieces of the same card: see wholesale pricing.
Common questions
Does the card open the Facebook app?
Yes, if the app is installed on the phone. Otherwise your page opens in the browser.
Can I link my Messenger instead of my page?
Yes. Send us the Messenger link (m.me/yourpage) and we will program that, which suits businesses that take orders in chat.
What if I change my page name?
The link may change too. If you plan to rename your page, choose a dynamic link so the card keeps working.
