Take me to PSFK iQThis report from PSFK explains how digital twin and token technology can better connect people with products and services, and customers to brands and retailers.
Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are no longer just being used for digital artwork and simple collectibles, they are revolutionizing the retail industry. Retailers are using NFTs and gamification to reach digital natives, build a loyal customer base, and create meaningful customer experiences. This report delves into the next phase of tokenization, where NFTs are being used to create new ownership models and digital identities that provide real-world value and fun.
As part of the world of web3, NFTs offer a way forward for fashion’s digital marketers who are facing challenges such as stricter data-privacy rules, rising customer acquisition costs, and the rapid content cycle of social media. Despite the challenges, major brands like Nike, Rimowa, Lowe’s, Samsung, the NBA, and Prada are among those that see the value in continuing to build on their tokenization and web3 efforts. By using blockchain technology as a source of ‘zero-party data’, brands can build deeper relationships with customers who have willingly opted in.
“NFTs have the potential to change the way we think about ownership of digital assets and digital identity in the retail industry. By providing real-world value and fun, they can build deeper relationships between customers and brands, and position companies for success in the digital world,” says Piers Fawkes, Founder of PSFK.
