Default Dumb question about NFC programming and vCards

Ok so I am the manager at a tech store and I am programming a tag to secure to the counter the customers stand at. It will contain all of the company's contact information, address, phone #, website, facebook page, store hours, etc. However, we have three different locations around Houston and I would like to code all three locations into one NFC tag. However, I have only been able to encode one vCard at any given time. Is it possible, without using Tasker (since not all customer's phones will have it), that I can write multiple vCards to one tag?

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

I think they are gonna need some type of app anyway. Search the forum for programming a nfc chip or tag. I'm sure it's been discussed.

Well right now the tag is set up as a vCard. So any NFC phone can scan it and it will save the information into their phone automatically.

Just stick a tag up for each location, richt under each sites contact info. That way the customer can scan only the ones they care about. Not the most elegant solution, but a functional one.
