The world\u2019s largest convenience store chain, 7-Eleven, has emerged as the latest adopter of this strategy. They announced the launch of its Slurpee NFTs, powered by the <a href=\"https:\/\/nftnewstoday.com\/2023\/04\/13\/a-comprehensive-guide-to-polygon-nfts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Polygon blockchain<\/a> network.<\/p>\n<p>The newly introduced NFTs form a core part of a sugary collectible game centred around a virtual 7-Eleven Slurpee cup. Consumers are offered a selection of four flavors to choose from: Blue Raspberry, Cherry, Pina Colada, and Summertime Citrus. This venture provides collectors with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.7-eleven.com\/7rewards\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">the opportunity<\/a> to craft their favorite Slurpee virtually.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bridging the Gap between Customers and the Brand<\/h2>\n<p>Marissa Jarratt, 7-Eleven Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing &amp; Sustainability Officer, has articulated the rationale behind this intriguing venture. Jarratt stated, \u201cWe\u2019re always looking for new and creative ways to celebrate with our customers on our favorite day of the year, Slurpee Day. This year, we\u2019re marking another first for the brand with our inaugural digital collectible, \u2018Find Your Slurpee Vibe. Maybe you\u2019ll even give us some inspiration for future flavors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This shows how much the brand cares about staying connected with its customers and using NFTs to make things more fun and engaging.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Screenshot-2023-07-12-at-120447 - NFT News Today\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"379\" src=\"https:\/\/nftnewstoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Screenshot-2023-07-12-at-120447-1024x379.png.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-73402\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nftnewstoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Screenshot-2023-07-12-at-120447-1024x379.png.webp 1024w, https:\/\/nftnewstoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Screenshot-2023-07-12-at-120447-300x111.png.webp 300w, https:\/\/nftnewstoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Screenshot-2023-07-12-at-120447-768x284.png.webp 768w, https:\/\/nftnewstoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Screenshot-2023-07-12-at-120447-1536x569.png.webp 1536w, https:\/\/nftnewstoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Screenshot-2023-07-12-at-120447-2048x758.png.webp 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source 7 Eleven<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Claiming the Slurpee NFTs<\/h2>\n<p>The 7-Eleven Slurpee NFTs will be accessible exclusively via mobile devices. Upon filling the virtual cup, users will be directed to a screen presenting two choices: to claim their \u201cSlurpee Vibe Digital Collectible\u201d or to restart the process.<\/p>\n<p>If a user is content with their concoction, they can select \u201cclaim now\u201d and advance to the next phase. They must provide personal details, including their name, email address, and telephone number. A unique six-digit code will be dispatched to their registered email, allowing them to claim the Slurpee NFT. Consequently, a new wallet on the Polygon Network will be created to hold the Slurpee token.<\/p>\n<p>However, it\u2019s worth noting that the Slurpee app avoids using the term \u201cNFT\u201d instead of referring to these as \u201cdigital collectibles.\u201d The only nod to non-fungible tokens is discreetly embedded within the app\u2019s terms of service.<\/p>\n<p>Distinct from conventional NFTs, where the owner possesses complete control over the asset, the 7-Eleven \u2018Find Your Slurpee Vibe\u2019 collectibles are merely licensed to customers. This caveat implies that they cannot store, transfer, sell, or bestow these assets upon others, a constraint clearly articulated within the terms of service.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NFT Marketing Approaches<\/h2>\n<p>Indeed, 7-Eleven isn\u2019t the pioneer in adopting <a href=\"https:\/\/nftnewstoday.com\/2023\/05\/31\/how-nft-marketing-augments-modern-approaches\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">NFTs for marketing strategies<\/a>. Prior to this, Starbucks had engaged its customers through Web3 projects involving NFTs, such as their Odyssey initiative. Similarly, automobile giant <a href=\"https:\/\/nftnewstoday.com\/2023\/01\/04\/bmw-to-launch-blockchain-loyalty-program\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">BMW<\/a> also ventured into the NFT realm to interact with their consumer base in unique and digitally advanced ways.
