The world-renowned coffee shop starbucks is giving away the perks of owning its NFTs and finally giving away an all-expenses-paid trip to Costa Rica, among other rewards, for high-ranking nft holders of its odyssey collection.
The reciprocal approach towards nft holders is becoming more and more prevalent. However, Starbucks brings a new dimension by offering both physical and digital rewards with its Web3 initiative. All members have to do is complete “journeys” and collect stamps.
Innovating with an nft-based journey
Starbucks has shown a strong inclination towards blockchain technology and NFTs since its collaboration with Microsoft's Azure blockchain. This led to the birth of Starbucks Odyssey, the brand's immersive nft collection that features notable artwork, captivating travel narratives, and even unique coffee variants.
Starbucks is outdoing itself with its latest reward: a trip to Costa Rica designated exclusively for top owners of the Starbucks Odyssey NFTs. To enhance the holder experience, this includes an immersive exploration of the coffee brand's own farm, offering a deeper interaction with the world of coffee.
The innovative initiative by the celebrated coffee brand expands the scope of deriving tangible benefits from digital possessions. The rumors surrounding its rewards model could inspire other companies to employ similar strategies.
It is worth noting that cCriticism and potential obstacles around NFTs are inevitable. The company's focus on providing benefits to top-tier holders through blockchain technology may be seen as discriminatory by regular consumers or those who do not own NFTs. However, if this initiative helps improve widespread acceptance of NFTs, those criticisms could subside.
Regardless, Starbucks' trip to Costa Rica bridges the gap between the digital and real world, marking a critical turning point in the nft landscape and potentially pointing to analogous ventures in the near future.
