Good Morning readers!🍼

Have you had a fantastic week thus far?🥳 

Hooray! You've all been waiting for our second ebook, right? Here it is. 

#2 EBOOK - THE FUTURE OF D2C BRANDS WITH CRYPTOCURRENCY AND NFTs. 

Are brands embracing the potential of cryptocurrencies?

With major brands such as PayPal, Facebook, and Amazon backing the benefits of cryptocurrencies, is it time for mainstream brands to explore this emerging tech?

Any brand's survival hinges on its ability to engage with changing technology and trends. 

“Digital currencies have the potential to increase inclusion and continued innovation in financial technology has the potential to drive economic growth.”

In the future, the payments giant will collaborate with authorities and partners to provide innovative crypto experiences for customers and grow the industry as a whole. 

Beyond "surface level" PR operations, brands that leverage blockchain - the technology that supports cryptocurrencies and allows organizations to record data in a highly secure and fully verifiable manner - can make major improvements to their company. 

With any new method of payment, of exchanging value and data, the existential questions emerge: Is this a fad or a trend?

NFTs provides a whole new revenue stream for businesses by allowing them to sell products entirely in digital form.

NFT technology, in a similar way, may provide a novel user experience while also increasing brand knowledge and attachment. NFT-based mobile advertising campaigns can be disseminated programmatically across a variety of digital channels. 

Brands may employ NFT technology to give customers tailored gifts, vouchers, and more. Brands may monetize ads many times by turning them into NFTs; they can build equity through narrative and collecting assets, and they can generate buzz in the run-up to events and product launches by using early access tokens.
