Incentives of Brand Loyalty are Broken: Transactional & Siloed by the Brand

The world of engagement is going through a paradigm shift.

Existing brand and creator channels are actively deteriorating.

As Web 2.0 moves toward a top-down, standardized, and saturated future, clicks are no longer equal to engagement or sales. Despite the $180b global loyalty spend, 70% of brands find these solutions ineffective.

Customers want more. More than being a consumer of a product…

Customers want to be co-creators, influencers, and advocates.. customers want to be a community.

Kalder is mobilizing the infrastructure to make that happen.

Kalder – Shared Infrastructure for the Future of Brand Loyalty

Every brand, enterprise, NFT community, and creator is now asking – So we’ve launched an NFT…what comes next?

Simply launching an NFT can be an arduous process today. From cumbersome one-time NFT minting tools to exorbitant consulting services, the current tooling is insufficient and does not lead to long-term activation for customer crypto wallets.

Kalder introduces an all-in-one, integrated web3 CRM that supercharges loyalty programs and seamlessly works with their day-to-day marketing.

How Kalder Works?

Tiered, Dynamic NFT Membership: Kalder makes it easy to create tiered loyalty programs with gamification and exclusivity built in order to maximize engagement.

$Brand-native rewards: Building social & financial incentives. Earn $brand-rewards to accrue status & spend - Imagine earning $Nike, $Star, $Gucci, $Godiva and unlocking experiences, and products interactively.

Contribute-to-Earn Quests: Leverage the Kalder Experience Editor to easily create gamified ways to interact with your brand. Reward content creation, in-app voting on your product roadmap, you name it

Why Now? Web3 Presents an Opportunity for Optimal Retention and Engagement

Brands 3.0 - Kalder will improve acquisition and retention by creating better economic and social alignment for customers and brands

Kalder is powered by –

Interoperability | Composable brand ecosystems: With Kalder, brands can create a new economy built on brand loyalty.  In Web2 $NIKE points and status only matter in Nike, and are unavailing outside of Nike’s store.

With Web3, Kalder flips the model and allows brands to seamlessly create partnerships and multiplayer marketing, rewards, and status.

Ownership | Interoperable Status & Token Systems: Kalder allows customers to engage in the seamless transfer of reputation points, digital assets, and brand experiences .

With Kalder, members own their membership and have the incentive to stay loyal to their platforms and brands as they earn status.

Interactivity | Programmable Incentives: Kalder builds hooks that reward customers for building the brand as influencers and co-creators instead of only as customers.

With Kalder, the more customers interact with the brand and the more integral to the brand’s success they are, the more their status appreciates.

Data | On-Chain Engagement Data: In the cookie-less future we are seeing development, it is getting harder to track user behavior.

With Kalder and Web3, brands can unlock access to incredibly detailed and rich data about how customers interact with the brand – from purchases to engagement, contribution, interests, and beyond.
