An NFC review card costs Rs 399 once, with no monthly fee. A standee or desk plate is Rs 799 and a review coin is Rs 499. Whether that is worth it depends on one thing: how many customers you serve who would leave a review if it took five seconds.
What it actually changes
The card does not make people happier. It removes the effort. Most happy customers never review because they would need to find your business on Google, tap through to the review form and then write something. With a card, they tap the phone once and the form is already open. Businesses that ask at the right moment and make it easy tend to collect more reviews than those that do not, and Google says review count and rating are part of what helps a business show up in local results.
A simple way to work it out
- Count your customers per week. Say 150.
- Assume a small share will review when asked and given a one-tap link. Even 2 in 100 gives 3 reviews a week, or about 12 a month.
- Compare to your starting point. If you collect 2 a month today, that is a big change in how fresh your reviews look.
- Value one new customer. If a customer is worth Rs 2,000 to you, one extra customer a month from a better rating covers the card.
These numbers are examples. Your own will differ, and nobody can promise a number of reviews. The card is a tool: it works when staff mention it.
When it is clearly worth it
- You serve walk-in customers every day: restaurants, cafés, salons, clinics, shops, gyms.
- You compete with similar businesses nearby and your rating or review count is lower.
- You are new and have very few reviews.
- You already ask for reviews, but customers say they forget.
When it will not help
- You get few customers. A card cannot create footfall.
- Nobody on your team will ever mention it. A card nobody sees will not be tapped.
- Your service has problems you have not fixed. More reviews will show them.
Making it pay off
- Put the card or standee where customers wait or pay.
- Have staff say one short line when handing over the bill.
- Reply to every review, good or bad.
- Never offer a reward for a review: Google does not allow it. See can you ask customers for Google reviews.
Which product to start with
Review products are sold wholesale, so there is a minimum order per product (100 for cards, 25 for standees, plates and coins). A card or coin is Rs 499 each, and for tables or a reception desk a standee is easier to spot at Rs 799. See card vs standee vs coin vs plate and wholesale pricing.
