Society’s Beta Program Is Now Accepting Applications

Is your brand seeking new ways to engage with and reward your most loyal fans? Society is a robust platform that allows brands to connect with their customers by leveraging digital collectibles. And, for a limited time, select enterprises, organizations or startups can use the Society platform for FREE for six months. 

This is an exclusive opportunity for brands who want to advance their loyalty programs and customer interactions. Here, we answer a few frequently asked questions about Society and the beta program.

 

Why Society?

While brands have most recently leaned on social media sites like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter to connect with customers, these platforms are designed to distract users and keep them scrolling. This makes it hard to create meaningful connections. Plus, these third-party vendors own the data and contacts—keeping you from having true transparency and control. 

Society is a platform that seamlessly works with your existing software to offer features like member voting, loyalty tiers, and exclusive perks and access. Using digital collectibles, you can create unique and engaging experiences for your most loyal fans.

 

How does Society differ from other platforms?

Unlike traditional loyalty platforms, Society leverages open web technology to foster deeper relationships. Specifically, Society enables:

  • Daily activity and interactions within your community
  • Tiered, personalized rewards based on each fan’s specific journey with your brand 
  • Active, two-way conversations with your fans 
  • Opportunities for fans to provide input (e.g., voting, games and collaborations) that emphasize shared values and evoke emotional equity
  • Seamless integration with Discord to ensure consistent communication and engagement

Why should we make the move to digital collectibles?

More and more brands are incorporating digital collectibles into their loyalty initiatives and outreach. Consider:

  • Nike—who made $250 million in sales from digital collectibles in 2022—launched its .SWOOSH platform in the fall. More than 330,000 beta users have signed up for .SWOOSH, which has been designed to serve as an “a new, inclusive digital community and experience” for its top fans. 
  • Gucci and Superplastic teamed up to create the SuperGucci collection—an exclusive mix of digital and physical collectibles. Access to the collection is based upon a fan’s level of engagement (i.e., members of Gucci’s Discord community can access before others).
  • In 2022, Tiffany’s Inc. sold all 250 of its digital collectibles within 20 minutes. Each one was sold for approximately $50,000.
  • Starbucks describes its new Odyssey rewards program as an “experience, surrounded by a digital community, where members can come together, interact and share their love of coffee.” Engaged community members can gain digital collectable stamps that offer unique access and experiences.

As the open web becomes more utilized, individuals will expect their favorite brands to provide these more engaging opportunities to connect. Using Society, you will have the ability to create your own digital assets and distribute them as merchandise, gifts or rewards. You will also be able to increase engagement and receive direct feedback without ads or influencers by targeting your audience directly. And the best part? You will own your community, contacts, transactions and interactions.
