The rise of loyalty apps

Increased choice and a consumer more price sensitive than ever before, has made customers far more likely to shop around for the best deals. Price is now the number one factor in brand consideration. In an effort to bag a bargain, loyalty programs have become increasingly popular with consumers, with nine out of ten in the UK now signed up for at least one.

This is unsurprising. After all, their use has now become ubiquitous. And for good reason. They are highly intuitive and convenient to use to earn and redeem rewards at a time when money is tight. Loyalty apps are helping bring in a new era of retailing by encouraging multi-channel shopping.

However, this grey area raises the question of who actually holds the rights to the asset. As of now, unless an external agreement is made between the buyer and artist, the copyright to an NFT still belongs to the artist. But, when sums are sometimes in the thousands, this is unacceptable for many customers.
