Upstream adds value to brand’s traditional rewards through NFTs

By Fernanda De La Torre

NFTs continue to trickle into various industries and their reward programs. Just recently Amex added digital collectibles to their program offering member collectibles to commemorate events and experiences.

You may be wondering what NFTs offer that’s different from traditional rewards. Here’s 5 unique benefits.

1.Scarcity

NFTs introduce scarcity, turning regular rewards into sought-after collectibles. Each NFT comes with a unique, unchangeable digital ID proving ownership. This creates the opportunity for shared experiences between lucky NFT holders and FOMO for those who missed out.

2. Community

Your brand NFTs are tradable on Upstream’s userfriendly trading app, expanding your reach and unlocking new interactions and conversations between customers enjoying your brand collectibles or existing loyalty program. By reimagining conventional rewards, NFTs can offer customers a digital badge or exclusive offers, akin to the sentiment of a physical thank-you gift.

3. Gamify

The buzz around limited edition digital assets ignites excitement. Brands can craft exclusive digital collectibles and art linked to achievements, tiers, or milestones in your loyalty program. With integrations like Upstream’s geofenced NFTs, brands can take advantage of location-specific collectibles, or even brand history memorialized in authenticated, digital collectibles that fans can collect.

4. Quantify

NFTs enable brands to track customer interactions with loyalty rewards in real-time on the blockchain. This data can be invaluable for understanding customer preferences and behavior, allowing you to tailor your offerings more effectively.

5. Metaverse participation

As the metaverse gains prominence, NFTs can play a pivotal role in bridging the real and virtual worlds creating immersive experiences that transcend traditional boundaries and capture the attention of tech-savvy customers.
