Web3 Loyalty Programs

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Wow Bao Created a Next-Gen Loyalty Program with Digital Collectibles

— June 5, 2023 — Marketing
Fast-casual Asian concept Wow Bao commissioned NFT artist MANOVERMARS, also known as MoM, to create NFT-based digital collectibles. As such, Wow Bao is the first virtual restaurant to combine a web3 integrated loyalty program with a traditional rewards program. Geoff Alexander, President & CEO of Wow Bao, says "By creating a digital collectible club, Wow Bao is leveling up the everyday loyalty program, and welcoming all diners to the future."

This not only opens up new revenue streams but also enhances brand loyalty and establishes a direct connection between brands and their most passionate fans. For consumer-collectors, NFTs offer a sense of ownership of exclusive digital items, proving authenticity in the digital realm, while also providing the potential for future value appreciation, creating a sense of exclusivity and investment potential in their collection.
