The Problem with Traditional Business Cards
Paper business cards are outdated, wasteful, and often end up in the trash. In a digital-first world, we need a smarter way to connect. That's where MeTag comes in—a smart NFC-enabled tag that lets you share your entire digital profile with a single tap.
How MeTag Works
MeTag utilizes Near Field Communication (NFC) technology embedded in a durable, stylish tag. When tapped against a smartphone, it instantly opens a customizable profile page containing your social links, portfolio, contact info, and more. No app required for the receiver.
Key Features
- Instant Sharing: Share info in under a second
- Dynamic Profile: Update your details anytime without changing the tag
- QR Code Fallback: Ensures compatibility with older devices
- Analytics: Track how many times your profile is viewed
Building the Hardware & Software
Developing MeTag involved a seamless integration of hardware and software. We sourced high-quality NFC chips and designed a custom resin casing for durability. On the software side, we built a robust dashboard using React and Node.js where users can manage their profiles and view analytics.
Sustainability Impact
By replacing thousands of paper cards with a single reusable MeTag, we are helping professionals reduce their carbon footprint. It's a small step towards a more sustainable and efficient way of networking.
Market Response
Since our launch, we've seen incredible adoption among freelancers, creators, and sales professionals. The ability to make a memorable first impression while being eco-friendly resonates strongly with today's professionals.
