A branded pen or mug from a welcome kit gets used once, if at all, before it ends up in a drawer. An NFC business card is different: tap it against a phone and it opens a real, working digital business card, so the gift keeps doing something long after the box it came in is gone. A growing number of UAE companies now hand out NFC MyInfo cards as part of new-hire onboarding kits and client or partner gifts. Here's how to set up a batch of them properly instead of ordering cards one at a time.
A gift that still gets used in month three
An NFC business card is a physical card, tag or stand with a chip that opens a link when a phone taps it — no app to install on either side. Handed to a new hire or a client, it opens a live digital business card: the recipient's real name, title and contact details, not a placeholder. Because the chip only stores a link, nothing about the physical card ever needs replacing, even as the person's role, number or company changes.
One brand across the whole batch
Build a company look once in the theme studio — colours, fonts and layout — and save it as a theme. Apply that same theme to every card in the batch, whether it's five new-hire kits or fifty gift bags at a conference stand, so the gift reads as one consistent, branded object rather than whatever template each recipient happened to pick. Update the theme later for a rebrand and every card that uses it updates with it.
Order NFC cards in bulk through a partner
MyInfo doesn't sell NFC cards directly — partners across the UAE supply the physical cards, tags or stands and can quote for a bulk order sized to a new-hire cohort or a gift-bag run. The same partners issue licence PINs in bulk if you want Premium features on some or all of the cards in the batch. See where to get NFC cards and upgrade to Premium in the UAE for how ordering and PIN activation actually work.
New-hire onboarding: a card ready before day one
One account can hold every card your company gives out, so an admin — HR, an office manager, whoever runs onboarding — can create each new hire's card ahead of their start date: name, title and a memorable address, styled with the shared theme. Hand over the NFC card already linked and working on day one, instead of a generic welcome gift and a separate ask to "set up your profile later."
A client or partner gift that carries your brand
The same approach works outward: gift an NFC card to a client, partner or VIP attendee at an event, still built on the shared company theme. Even though the card opens with the recipient's own details once they claim it, your branding is what they — and everyone they go on to share it with — see every time.
Add Premium only where it earns its place
Not every card in a gifting batch needs lead capture or visit analytics — those matter for outward-facing reps meeting new contacts, less for a purely internal thank-you gift. Decide case by case and activate a licence PIN only on the cards that need it; the rest work perfectly well on the free plan.
Frequently asked questions
Do we need Premium for every card in a gifting or onboarding batch?
No. NFC sharing works on the free plan for every card. Add lead capture or analytics only on the cards where it earns its place — a partner can supply licence PINs in bulk for however many you need upgraded.
Who fills in the card's details — us or the person receiving it?
Either. One account can hold every card your company gives out, so an admin can create and fill in each one in advance, or hand over the NFC card and let the recipient create their own free card and set its address themselves. The chip only stores a link either way, so nothing about the physical card needs to change afterward.
