Remember last month when the NFC Bootcamp hit New York in tandem with thinaire and the NFC billboard? Well, they are taking the NFC Bootcamp show on the road and hitting Chicago on November 16th. We all know that NFC marketing is an area of NFC that is likely to eclipse all other aspects of the technology in the long term. But where do you start?
Well, if you are in Chicago or can be in Chicago on November 16th you start by going to hear what the folks from OTA (OverTheAir) have to say about NFC marketing. OTA are training experts who produce the NFC Bootcamp that is unashamedly targeted at marketers and people who would like to learn how to use NFC marketing.
Or in their words “Come let OTA, the leader in RFID training and certification over the last 8 years and producer of the first US NFC training program, show you how to lead the way and knock it out of the park with NFC enabled advertising and marketing campaigns. NFC is a growing component of mobile marketing, creating endless possibilities for advertisers and brands to engage their customers in new and exciting ways.”
If you are in marketing and are not using or planning to use NFC in your campaigns, your skills are becoming outdated. If for no other reason than that you should attend NFC Bootcamp. By the end of this year there are projected to be 40 million NFC phones in the market. By the end of 2016 most will have the capability. There has never been a technology that can blend the online and offline worlds before in the way NFC can. That’s not even mentioning that there has never been offline analytics for campaigns that will help you prove the ROI and key metrics for your campaigns, like what is achievable with NFC.
