Airdropping NFTs to celebrities and community members of another NFT project is one of the most popular but successful means of marketing your NFT project (which may or may not be owned by you). Airdropping has also been used in initiatives that wish to provide more usefulness to their current members.
NFT airdrops are a new marketing phenomenon that allows brands and enterprises to interact with their communities in novel ways. NFT airdrops and the use cases that surround them are still evolving, but you may lay the groundwork to profit from this new marketing trend. This guide will initially cover the fundamentals before delving deeper to learn what all the fuss is about!
Why do People Airdrop NFTs?
Once a niche pastime, NFTs have exploded into the popular crypto culture as yet another money-making opportunity. Unlike cryptocurrency, which derives its value only from its economic function as a means of payment or investment. NFTs, on the other hand, have a non-economic worth that is mostly determined by perception. This blurs the distinction between NFTs as part investment, part interest, and based on individual and market demand rather than financial values.
An NFT airdrop is yet another method of increasing brand awareness. It’s a novel approach to brand storytelling and audience interaction based on traits and attributes embedded into blockchain smart contracts that provide additional value to holders. Businesses may gain tremendous brand exposure and boost their chances of gaining new consumers by using an NFT airdrop.
How to Airdrop NFTs?
Merely by mailing someone an NFT, you may consider it “an NFT airdrop.” All you need is the receiving party’s public crypto wallet address, and there are several ways to acquire participants’ crypto wallet addresses via a simple registration form. The NFT might then be sent or airdropped to everyone who filled out the form. While this is the simplest approach for performing an NFT airdrop, it does have certain drawbacks. What if you wish to grow your business or use some novel blockchain logic in your airdrops or NFTs?
There are also other ways to airdrop NFTs. First, create a hardhat project, the industry-standard Ethereum smart contract development environment. Then create an NFT smart contract that includes airdrop capabilities. After that, launch the smart contract from which NFT will be created and airdropped to members’ public addresses gathered via your registration form. This approach is a little more complicated, but it is becoming simpler as developments ensue in this field.
