Thanks to adopting NFTs in businesses, customers can now:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Connect and share their experience with like-minded individuals in a community.<\/li>\n<li>Enjoy personalised services without compromising their identity.<\/li>\n<li>Earn Flexible reward points redemption<\/li>\n<li>Appreciate complete operational transparency.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Customers Can Engage With Like-Minds in a Community<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Naturally, an NFT community sustains its value. So, it makes perfect sense that a business adopting NFTs should have a functioning community for its customers, which are, by default, its NFT holders.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from the apparent similarity of holding the business&#8217; NFTs in their NFT wallets, customers with other similar tastes can join heads to share meaningful value.<\/p>\n<p>The community can be online or offline since the NFT utility must represent a real-life benefit.<\/p>\n<p>For example, a brand selling skateboards can offer members special NFTs giving them access to certain skating parks or maybe special or discounted access to some limited edition of grip tapes.<\/p>\n<p>The members could communicate solely in the general social media community or physically meet.<\/p>\n<p>Either option breathes a more positive customer experience and offers the brand valuable insights into critical changes they might need to make.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Customers Enjoy More Personalised Services and Targeted Marketing<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>NFT-integrated brands&#8217; customers can enjoy more personalised services and targeted marketing to some extent of anonymity.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/non-fungible-tokens-nft-5115211\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NFTs are deployed and transacted on the blockchain<\/a>; you can track them. For example, let\u2019s say an ecommerce brand&#8217;s NFT holders can pre-order goods before they hit the shelves.<\/p>\n<p>Suppose you got that NFT with either the brand&#8217;s native cryptocurrency or any accepted stable coin (BUSD, USDT, etc.). Now, say you connect your NFT wallet to the brand&#8217;s website every month to pre-order four Adidas white tees; your NFT wallet stores your purchase history.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, anytime you reconnect your wallet to the store&#8217;s website, they&#8217;d automatically recommend your preferred choices without knowing your identity behind the wallet.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Flexible rewards and NFT redemption for loyal customers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Smart contracts execute NFT transactions; therefore, when a customer purchases a brand&#8217;s NFT, they can access the royalties rewards in the smart contract either from subsequent sales of the NFT or other conditions as specified in the smart contract.<\/p>\n<p>Ideally, customers&#8217; loyalty is ensured when the brand rewards them with certain points from repeated purchases of their products.<\/p>\n<p>Conversely, some brands allow loyal customers to redeem their reward points via NFTs. It&#8217;s common to see some underhanded brands backtrack on their reward redemption promise even after specifying the redemption percentage.<\/p>\n<p>But when using NFT for rewards point redemption, the smart contract specifies the points-to-money redemption ratio. Therefore, after the condition for earning a reward redemption is satisfied, the brand&#8217;s native token is automatically released to your crypto or NFT wallet.<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, customers might choose to redeem their reward points as NFT royalties.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Carbon Emission Vs NFT Without Utilities<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Many crypto and NFT critics have raised the alarm over <a href=\"https:\/\/hackernoon.com\/the-downside-of-nfts-how-they-are-impacting-the-earths-climate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ethereum NFTs&#8217; negative effect on the climate.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>However, Ethereum has, since by mid-September, fully transitioned into a proof of stake network, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/the-ethereum-merge-6504132\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u200creducing its energy consumption by 99%.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the carbon emission solution doesn&#8217;t automatically give productive utilities upon lacking NFTs.<\/p>\n<p>You must clearly define your NFT utilities within their smart contract before integrating them with your business.
