Technology-Driven Print Ads

Marie Claire is Beginning to Use NFC Technology in its Magazine

In order to bridge that gap, they have started a plan to work in conjunction with Nuffield Health, which is a health care business.

When readers are looking at their monthly magazine, and they come across the ad for the health center, by utilizing the NFC technology, they will be taken to the company's website. Just a simple click from your phone will transfer you to another place and can provide you with deals from other retailers. Marie Claire is taking a major step towards technology-driven print, and consumers will recognize the possibilities while reading the magazine.
