From Traditional Rewards to Tokenized Loyalty

The loyalty programs of yesterday, symbolized by cutting and collecting box tops, have given way to a new paradigm. In 2006, General Mills signaled the end of an era by discontinuing the old model. It’s now time for a new approach that speaks to the digital landscape of the 21st century.

Tokenized Memberships: Breaking the Loyalty Silo

Tokenized memberships using web3 technologies promise an exciting change. By using unique Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) to represent customer loyalty, customers gain ownership and flexibility.

• Horizontal Interoperability: This allows a customer’s membership with one brand to be used across others, simplifying collaboration and enhancing cross-brand benefits.
• Vertical Interoperability: NFTs enable brands to track and reward customer interactions across both digital and physical ecos, personalizing the experience and boosting engagement.

Tokenized Rewards: Beyond ‘Earn and Burn’

Moving past the traditional ‘earn and burn’ model, tokenized rewards represent a new frontier in customer loyalty.

• Creation and Distribution: Digital tokens are minted on the blockchain, with creation and distribution guided by smart contracts.
• Ownership and Transferability: Customers have unprecedented control over their reward tokens, with the freedom to redeem, hold, or transfer them.
• Market Dynamics: The ability to trade or sell rewards on secondary markets lets customers derive dynamic value, while brands can respond to trends in real-time.
• Gamification and Community Building: Features like loot boxes, quests, and mini-games add joy to the customer experience, enhancing loyalty and community engagement.
