Instagram NFC Tags & Stands FAQs.
Everything you need to know about using TAPiTAG NFC and QR products to make it easier for customers to find and follow your business on Instagram.
Make Instagram easier to find.
TAPiTAG gives customers a direct route from your physical business to your Instagram profile using NFC and QR.
What is an Instagram NFC tag?
An Instagram NFC tag is a physical NFC-enabled product that links customers directly to your Instagram profile when they tap it with a compatible smartphone.
TAPiTAG Instagram products can also include a QR code, giving customers the choice to tap or scan. They can be placed at reception desks, checkouts, counters, tables, tills, events and other customer touchpoints.
How does an NFC tag for Instagram work?
Your TAPiTAG contains an NFC chip linked to your Instagram profile. A customer holds their smartphone near the NFC point and taps the notification that appears.
Alternatively, they can scan the QR code with their phone camera. This removes the need to manually search for your Instagram username.
Can customers follow my Instagram with one tap?
The NFC tap or QR scan takes the customer directly to your Instagram profile, removing the need to search for your account or type your username.
The customer still chooses whether to press the Follow button on Instagram. TAPiTAG simply makes getting to your profile much faster.
Do customers need to download an app?
No. Customers do not need to download a TAPiTAG app.
They can use their smartphone's built-in NFC functionality or scan the QR code using their camera.
Do Instagram NFC tags work with iPhone and Android?
TAPiTAG Instagram products are designed to work with most modern NFC-enabled iPhone and Android smartphones.
The QR code provides an alternative option for customers who prefer to scan rather than use NFC.
What is the difference between NFC and a QR code for Instagram?
A QR code is scanned using the customer's phone camera. NFC works by holding a compatible smartphone close to the tag.
TAPiTAG combines NFC and QR so customers can use whichever method is easiest for them.
Can I change my Instagram link later?
Yes. TAPiTAG uses a dynamic link system, allowing the destination connected to your product to be updated later without replacing the physical NFC tag or QR product.
This is useful if your Instagram username changes or you want the TAPiTAG to point somewhere different in the future.
Can TAPiTAG Instagram stands be customised with my branding?
Yes. Selected TAPiTAG Instagram products can be customised to suit your business branding.
Depending on the product, this can include your logo, colours, messaging, Instagram username and custom artwork.
Where should I place an Instagram NFC stand?
Place it somewhere customers naturally pause or interact with your team.
What businesses can use an Instagram NFC stand?
Instagram NFC tags and display stands can work particularly well for customer-facing businesses including salons, hairdressers, cafés, restaurants, hotels, gyms, clinics, retailers, estate agents, hospitality venues and events.
Any business that regularly interacts with customers face-to-face can use TAPiTAG to create a faster route to its Instagram profile.
Which TAPiTAG Instagram product should I choose?
The best option depends on where and how you want customers to interact.
- Phone Tags: compact and discreet.
- Keychains: portable for staff and events.
- NFC Cards: ideal for counters, desks and staff.
- Square Tags: compact countertop displays.
- Display Stands: highly visible at tills and reception areas.
- Custom Displays: larger branded solutions for customer-facing spaces.
Can I use several Instagram NFC tags in the same business?
Yes. You can position TAPiTAG products at multiple customer touchpoints throughout the same business.
A salon could have one at reception and additional tags at styling stations, while a restaurant could place them at the till and on customer tables.
Can an Instagram NFC tag help my business get more followers?
TAPiTAG cannot guarantee that a customer will follow your account, but it makes the journey to your Instagram profile significantly easier.
By placing a clear tap or scan point where customers are already interacting with your business, you remove much of the friction involved in finding your account.
Is TAPiTAG suitable for multiple business locations?
Yes. Businesses can deploy TAPiTAG products across multiple locations and customer touchpoints.
This can be useful for hotel groups, retail stores, salon groups, gyms, dealerships, restaurants and other businesses operating from more than one location.
Where is TAPiTAG based?
TAPiTAG is based in Athlone, Ireland and supplies NFC and QR products to businesses internationally.
TAPiTAG has more than 60,000 users and has shipped products to over 90 countries.
