Know your smartphones for better engagement in 2022
Android Smartphones
Remembering which Android smartphones have NFC is easy. Because it’s all of them. All a donor has to do is make sure their NFC is turned on in settings.
Go to Settings < Connected Devices < Connection Preferences < Turn on NFC
This is something great to know when helping others engage with your fundraising touchpoints. You should also incorporate the instructions into your marketing designs for the team to have at hand.
- Unlock your smartphone
- ‘Tap’ or closely hover the smartphone onto the touch-point
- Click the pop-up for an instant experience
It’s also good practice to describe the 3-step process in simple terms. You can use an infographic like the one below alongside your NFC touchpoints.
