NFC cards for local businesses
A card on the counter. One tap. Your page is open.
GrowScan makes NFC cards for local businesses. You add your link, we program the card and send it ready to use. No app, no subscription, nothing to set up.
The problem
The moment is short, and then it is gone
Happy customers would recommend you. It usually does not happen, because too many small obstacles sit between the good feeling and the actual review.
What happens in practice
- A handle is said across the counter, misheard, and never found again that evening.
- “Do leave us a review” is agreed to politely and then forgotten.
- A QR code means opening the camera and framing the picture first.
- Anyone searching at home can easily end up at a similarly named business.
What happens with a card
- A phone touches the card and the page opens immediately.
- No typing, no searching, no app and no account.
- The link is fixed, so there is nothing to mix up.
- It happens on the spot, while the impression is still fresh.

Context
Why reviews matter for local businesses
Two findings from published research, each with its source.
+270 %
A product with just five reviews is 270 % more likely to be bought than one with no reviews at all.
Spiegel Research Center, Northwestern University, analysis of real purchase data with PowerReviews, 2017. View source
up to +9 %
One extra star in online ratings brings independent restaurants 5 to 9 % more revenue.
Michael Luca, Harvard Business School, Working Paper 12-016, analysis of revenue data from Seattle, 2011. View sourceBoth figures describe the general importance of reviews. Neither says anything about how many reviews a GrowScan card will bring in.
Cards
Three cards, one principle
Every card opens exactly the page you choose. What differs is the artwork and the destination.
Instagram Card
Instead of spelling out your handle: one tap, and your Instagram profile is open.

Common objections
Do I really need this?
Three questions we hear often, and our answer.
“I already have a QR code stand.”
With a QR code your guest has to open the camera, focus and tap the link. With the card they just hold their phone to it. The fewer the steps, the more likely someone joins in.
“Does a card like this actually do anything?”
It works best when your team mentions it at the till. One sentence is enough: “If you enjoyed it, just hold your phone to the card.”
“€25 for one card feels like a lot.”
You get a finished solution: set up, individually tested, ready to use, with link changes at no extra cost. No subscription, no follow-up costs. In the set of 10 it is €19.90 per card.
Why GrowScan
Four things we care about
Change your link any time, free
New profile, new link? A short email is enough and we switch the card over. No sending it back, no cost.
Pay once, use indefinitely
No subscription, no renewal, no fee per tap. The purchase price is all there is.
Every card is tested before it ships
We hold a phone against each card ourselves and check that the right page opens.
A personal contact
No ticket system, no phone queue. Replies usually the same or next working day.
FAQ
Answered briefly
The questions we get most often. Everything else is in the full FAQ.
The card contains an NFC chip. When a phone touches the card, a notification appears and the page you chose opens. Nothing else is needed, from you or from your guest.
On iPhones from the iPhone XS (2018) onwards the page opens automatically, without any extra app. Older iPhones from the iPhone 7 to the iPhone X need an NFC reader app. Most Android phones from recent years have NFC, but it has to be switched on in the settings.
No. You enter your link during checkout and we program the card before it ships. It arrives ready to use.
Yes, any time and free of charge. Send us a short email with the new link and we switch the card over. The card stays with you, no need to send it back.
Stick the card where people pay and have your team mention it briefly. One sentence is enough: “If you enjoyed it, just hold your phone to the card.” That reaches guests right at the right moment.
We prepare your order within one working day and hand it to the carrier on the next working day. After that the carrier’s usual transit time of one to three working days applies.
No. GrowScan sells to businesses only. The statutory right of withdrawal in distance selling applies to consumers, so there is no right of return on a commercial order. Warranty of course still applies: if a card arrives faulty or programmed incorrectly, we replace it free of charge.
