Why Tap Cards are Better than QR Codes
QR Codes fall short in real-time settings
While QR codes still have their place on printed materials like Sunday flyers or mailers, they lack instant reaction in live environments. Common issues include:
- Blocked by objects (like an instrument or person)
- Camera won’t focus quickly
- Code is on a changing or distant screen
- Too many steps to scan, wait, and click
These small delays often lead to distraction and missed opportunities.
Tap cards are designed for easy, instant connection in the moment
Tap doesn’t rely on a camera or line of sight, so poor lighting, awkward angles, or people standing nearby aren’t an issue. Guests simply hold their phone near the card, and the link opens instantly.
This results in:
- More guest engagement
- Fewer missed opportunities
- A smoother, more intuitive experience
So while QR codes work well for print, when timing matters and someone’s ready to engage, Tap makes connections right in the moment.
