Our take
Loyalty programs and memberships have long since been used by companies to increase customer engagement, often consisting of loyalty cards, discounts, or premium services. However, these methods have quickly become outdated due to technological innovations, resulting in companies needing to do more to keep up engagement, particularly with younger customers.
Hang provides NFT-based brand membership and loyalty systems to companies, allowing them to provide customers with perks, rewards, and experiences that are validated through the proof of an NFT. The company facilitates this through a no-code NFT contract building service across Ethereum, Solana, and Polygon blockchains, allowing companies to link loyalty systems and automated art generation to the NFT memberships.
Whilst NFTs are being used by many companies for investment, gaming, and other purposes, Hang has identified a unique angle by applying it to loyalty memberships. Furthermore, the company’s no-code approach allows companies to benefit from the perks that NFTs present without having to hire expensive bespoke blockchain engineers.
