How Can NFTs Impact your Loyalty Program: Some Food for Thought

Top 3 Use Cases of NFTs in Loyalty

Collectible NFT promotions

These are the usual campaigns that make up a big part of the traditional loyalty programs that exist today. Brands could take this concept to another level by implementing similar promotional collectibles but digitalized through NFTs. Think ‘Crypto Kitties’ but for brands… The collectible toy could be obtained by a code received at checkout, even a QR code printed on the receipt. This would enhance the experience by gamifying the process even more and would implement a social aspect by enabling customers to share their excitement more easily through social media.

Paid Loyalty Program Benefits

Similar to what NEXO implemented with their different loyalty tiers, which allows users to receive increased rewards from their crypto holdings if at least 10% of their wallet consists of NEXO token (NEXO’s native token).

Essentially allowing users to receive better loyalty program benefits by paying more, this idea could also be presented as an NFT case.

Instead of simply stating that users have to own the NEXO token, the brand could have implemented a NEXO NFT that would act almost as a membership pass for users to receive the previously stated loyalty benefits.

Key Takeaways (TL:DR)

Point 1 = With the mainstream implementation of NFTs, an impact on loyalty was definitely observed. The flexible nature of NFTs and their multi-faceted nature makes them exceptionally useful to use as membership tokens for a loyalty program or even an NFT medal for your most loyal users.

Point 2 = Always consider what traditional loyalty systems already exist and what type of products can create loyalty, such as Pokemon packs for collectors, Kinder Surprise eggs for kids, and grocery points for everyday shoppers.

Point 3 = Use the knowledge from traditional loyalty programs and elevate it on a digital level, integrate NFT technology but clearly define the intention behind the technological integration and whether it proves to be beneficial for that use case.

Although the topic is fresh and the use cases are still conceptual, many of the ideas discussed have real loyalty potential. We are aware that there are a lot more concepts to be explored in the future regarding NFT and loyalty.
