The Case for Going Contactless: Why Every Store Needs a TapOnn Standee

In today’s fast-paced, convenience-driven world, customers expect instant access to information, seamless interactions, and minimal wait times. Traditional methods of sharing store details—be it menus, payment options, social handles, or product catalogs—often fall short of these expectations. That’s where going contactless makes all the difference. With just a tap or scan, businesses can offer a smarter, quicker, and more engaging experience that not only meets modern customer demands but also sets the stage for stronger, tech-forward brand presence.

The Evolution of In-Store Engagement

Just a few years ago, in-store engagement was mostly about face-to-face conversations, printed brochures, menu cards, and static signage. These traditional methods were limited—not only in reach but in their ability to capture customer attention and offer ongoing digital interaction.

Fast forward to now: the rise of smartphones, NFC (Near Field Communication), and QR codes has changed the game entirely. Customers are more digitally inclined than ever.Here’s where TapOnn’s Smart NFC-based Standees come in!  The customers prefer touch-free, instant solutions—whether it’s to access a café menu, follow a store’s Instagram page, browse a service list, or make a payment which is just a piece of cake with TapOnn. Businesses that still rely on outdated methods risk falling behind in this rapidly evolving landscape.

Why Contactless Is No Longer a Trend—It’s a Necessity

Let’s break down why contactless tech, especially TapOnn standees, is becoming an essential in-store tool:

1. Customer Convenience = Better Experience

Imagine walking into a salon and being able to view the full service menu, google review links, and complete social profiles simply by tapping your phone on a standee. No need to ask the receptionist. No printed catalogs. No wait. That’s the kind of convenience that builds customer satisfaction—and loyalty.

With TapOnn standees, customers can access multiple store links in one place: from WhatsApp chat and Instagram handles to websites, Google reviews, or UPI payment links. One tap does it all.

2. Modern First Impressions Matter

Today’s customers judge a brand the moment they walk in. A store using a digital standee instantly signals modernity, innovation, and tech-savviness. It sets a tone that says, “We value your time and experience.”

Whether it’s a boutique, café, spa, or even a dental clinic—displaying a smart standee right at the reception or billing counter boosts your brand image and customer perception.

3. Easy Access to Business Details

Instead of verbally telling customers your Instagram handle, asking them to search, or hoping they remember your name later—TapOnn lets them access your profile instantly. This improves chances of social media growth, customer retention, and follow-up sales.

You can even redirect customers to your feedback form or Google reviews page, helping boost your online credibility in real time.

4. Dynamic, Not Static

Printed materials are expensive, hard to update, and often become outdated quickly. With TapOnn, you can change your links and information anytime through the app—without having to reprint anything. It’s dynamic and cost-efficient.

For example, if you’re a café running a weekly special or a store launching a new collection, you can update the link to reflect the change instantly. Customers scanning or tapping the standee will always see the most current information.

5. Boosts Engagement & Sales

When customers can easily access your product catalog, price list, or WhatsApp chat, they’re more likely to make faster decisions. You reduce friction in the buyer’s journey. That translates to quicker sales, smoother communication, and more satisfied customers.

Many brands using TapOnn standees have seen a noticeable increase in social engagement and online orders—just by simplifying the way customers interact with them.

6. Reduces Staff Workload

A lot of in-store staff time is spent repeating the same information: product details, services offered, how to connect on social media, or how to pay. A TapOnn standee takes care of all of that.

It acts as a digital assistant that works 24/7—giving customers all the information they need, while your staff focuses on higher-value interactions.
