Near field communication, or NFC, allows for simplified transactions, data exchange, and connections with a touch. NFC technology will provide a highly secure personal credential to be built into our mobile phones. Shoppers who have their credit card information stored in their NFC smartphones can pay for purchases by waving their smartphones near or tapping them on the reader, rather than bothering with the actual credit card.

What makes NFC phones really powerful is the convenience of enabling them anywhere, anytime through secure mobile connections, to act as our personal credential for an endless number of possible mobile applications. We can use our NFC-enabled smart phones to help us sign on to different websites, networks or loyalty programs, thus eliminating the need to remember all those multiple passwords.

Credentials such as keys, access cards, tickets, business cards, plastic loyalty cards and payment cards could rapidly disappear in favor of a single personal credential on your phone. Consequently, NFC represents a paradigm shift in how we live, making everyday activities easier and more convenient by building on existing systems and human behavior. It will make accessing new media and content services more intuitive; make it easier to pay for things; easier to discover, synchronize and share information; and easier to use transport and other public services. How will NFC ultimately change our lives? In more ways than we can imagine.

RFID technology offers unique possibilities to the challenges facing the Accessories industry
However, other than these basic RFID applications, there are some very creative RFID solutions to improve Customer experience

VIRTUAL DISPLAY:

The creative use we are referring to is in improving customer trail room experience. We will use RFID in fitting rooms to ease customer experience with the product. RFID reader will identify the Accessories/Cloths customer holding and show corresponding pictures on display screens in fitting rooms.

ACCESSORIES BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE

Particularly for retail, an optimally placed in fashion Accessories piece can fetch more customers' attention and converting into actual sale. A poorly placed Accessories piece will drown into obscurity among the thousands of Accessories pieces displayed in the store. RFID can implement a detection system that registers each time a design is requested over the counter up to the point the sale is completed. A well designed system becomes a tremendous marketing tool to learn about actual customer trending in the store.
