A Simple Way to Know Who Did What
Wristbands, cards and tags with NFC or RFID chips let visitors tap a reader to trigger something: unlock a game, collect a stamp, log in to a station or claim a prize. They are quick, familiar and need no phone battery.
Common Uses
We build tap-based systems into our activation work for a range of purposes.
- Passport-style trails — collecting taps around a venue
- Personalised stations — a reader recognises a visitor and tailors the screen
- Access control — opening areas for particular ticket types
- Lead capture — exhibitors scan badges instead of writing details
- Prize redemption — validating a win without paper tickets

Practical and Privacy Points
Readers must be placed where people can tap them easily, with clear signs and feedback such as a light or sound. Test range and speed with the actual wristbands, since cheap tags vary.
Be clear about what data is linked to a wristband, keep it to the minimum and tell people how it will be used. A tap that only unlocks content is far simpler than one that tracks individuals.
Join It to Digital Content
Taps can also open personalised web pages. A QR code or NFC tag can launch a WebAR experience on a visitor's phone. Agencies can scope the whole chain with us through our partnership programme.
