The winter holidays; a time of year perhaps like no other. Between the dazzling lights illuminating the streets and boulevards, public squares adorned with majestic decorations, cheerful music playing softly on every corner, and uplifted spirits out and about to absorb it all–it’s no wonder why many cite this as their favorite time of the year.

As an icing on the cake, this season is also one of the busiest periods for just about any sector in the market, and understandably so. Between all the gifts it is customary to buy, the travelling to see family and friends, the foods and drinks for gatherings and parties, the decorations, the charities, the giveaways… you can scarcely find goods or services that don’t see a surge in sales when Santa is around the corner.

And, as the laws of marketing dictate, promotions will inevitably follow wherever there’s an occasion to make an extra purchase–and boy, is there an excess of such activities at this time of year.

Marketers have long understood the impact of creating positive reward loops for consumers such that they associate purchases with positive feelings associated with rewards and loyalty points, as well as feelings of luckiness and accomplishment when they stumble upon and take advantage of a sale, offer, or promotion. When timed correctly, these tactics can increase sales exponentially and more than make up for their effect on gross margins.

For businesses, this builds relationships between themselves and their customers and reinforces a sense of loyalty; not to mention the potential to bring in new customers with promising offers on display. While numerous psychological tactics are oftentimes involved, in an adequately regulated environment, it tends to be a win-win situation for all parties involved.

As for banks, payment processors, and other financial intermediaries and businesses, they benefit from purchases regardless of when they were made–and the more the merrier. Such entities tend to maintain a more stable and consistent reward model around the year, but seasonal promotions aren’t unheard of either. The goal, in this instance, is to reinforce in users a habit of spending to generate fees and commissions for whatever financial media that may exist between customers and businesses.

Thus, it would seem, that all the incentive layers surrounding the winter season are scarcely attributed to the spirit of the holidays, and rather, spring from financial interests and motivations. Although, regardless of the intent, it certainly doesn’t make the season any less enjoyable, interesting, or rewarding. Holiday promotions have become a near-inseparable part of many cultures throughout the past century, and, for what it’s worth, can still be appreciated for what they bring to this magical end-of-year experience.

At SyFu, we believe that consumers should be rewarded not just during particular seasons, but for everyday spending all year round. As a separate layer to already-existing payment solutions, SyFu is compatible and can be stacked with all your existing loyalty programs, and can be used seamlessly once users purchase a MANEKINEKO NFT and connect their card to the SyFu dApp (Visa or Mastercard supported at launch).

With SyFu, you can maintain the spending habits you always have without feeling pulled or pushed to make excess purchases, all the while benefiting from an additional reward structure meant to compliment your economic activity. So whether you’re purchasing a gift as a secret santa, booking a flight to make a surprise visit to your family, or enjoying an unremarkable yet lovely cup of iced coffee in the summertime, your SyFu MANEKINEKO pet will ensure your actions are noted, and rewarded, in kind.
