Challenge

  • Explain to fans the sustainable work behind the product
  • Reach first party data of fans
  • Stay in touch with fans even after product purchase

Solution

An encrypted NFC tag is embedded in each jersey and can be scanned using any smartphone. This NFC tag is a key element of the technology behind the product, and it provides fans with a convenient and secure way to interact with the product. The encrypted tag ensures that the information stored on it cannot be accessed or altered by unauthorized individuals.

Each product and its unique identifier (ID) are represented as a non-fungible token (NFT) on the blockchain. This means that each jersey is not only a physical product, but it also has a corresponding digital representation on the blockchain. The NFT serves as a digital certificate of authenticity, proving that the product is one-of-a-kind and cannot be replicated. This creates added value for the fan, as it ensures the rarity and uniqueness of the product.

By scanning the NFC tag in the jersey, the fan receives a digital twin. This digital twin is an exact replica of the physical product, stored on the blockchain. The digital twin unlocks an exclusive experience for the fan. For example, it could provide access to special content, events, or merchandise. The digital twin also allows for a direct line of communication between the fan and the brand, fostering a stronger relationship between them and providing an opportunity for continued engagement even after the initial purchase of the product.

  • 4:54 min Average Time Spent: On average, fans spent around 5 minutes inside the collectID app after tapping their jersey.
