A Finland-based pet specialty retailer is aiming to show its appreciation for its canine customers by implementing the world's first dog loyalty program -- a system which is made possible with the help of the Biscuit Smart Collar.
Equipped with an RFID chip, this collar can enable store employees to access a dog's personal information, such as name, birthday and favorite treat. To ensure the optimal in-store experience, a screen that personally greets the dog will be situated at the entrance of the store.
Functioning similarly to a traditional loyalty card, this collar will enable a pet to redeem rewards, while providing the employee with the details necessary to offer the dog and its owner a memorable and convenient in-store experience.
