To launch it, the company has installed interactive storefronts at its highest traffic locations. These interactive storefronts are essentially window displays that encourage user interaction in return for rewards. The interactive storefronts, which aim to engage more customers on site, allow people to touch "gold stars" to reveal Starbucks rewards. Developed by [BBDO](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/accessible-customer-service) (Toronto office), [Blast Radius](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fornite-pro-am-2025) and The Media Merchants, the new My Starbucks Rewards storefronts are fun and interactive: gold and white stars move through the animated display, allowing users to play with them to get prizes. Offering rewards for fun interaction is definitely a way to capture more customers. Again, Starbucks proves its position at the forefront of marketing and branding. What will this mega-corp think of next? ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.9/10 - Popularity: 77% | Activity: 93% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Marketing](https://www.trendhunter.com/marketing) > [Interactive](https://www.trendhunter.com/interactive) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Interactive Storefronts:** Integrating interactive elements into physical store displays to create engaging customer experiences. - **Customer Rewards Programs:** Incentivizing customer loyalty through personalized rewards and interactive incentives. - **Branded Experiential Marketing:** Creating immersive and interactive marketing experiences that strengthen brand connection with customers. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Retail:** Retailers can leverage interactive storefronts and customer rewards programs to enhance customer engagement and drive sales. - **Hospitality:** Hotels and restaurants can adopt similar interactive approaches to create unique and memorable experiences for their guests. - **Advertising & Marketing:** Agencies specializing in experiential marketing can help brands develop innovative strategies that utilize interactive storefronts and rewards programs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [QSR Summer Promotions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starbucks-canada-offers-mobile-ordering.md) - [Summer-Themed Cafe Rewards Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starbucks-summer-game-adventure-awaits.md) - [Gamified Holiday Promotions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starbucks-for-life-merrython.md) - [Coffee-Focused Rewards Programs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-human-bean.md) - [Personalized Coffee Recaps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2024-starbucks-blend.md) - [Cafe NFT Loyalty Rewards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starbucks-odyssey.md) - [Consolidated Rewards Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/consolidated-rewards-apps.md) - [Restored Cafe Culture Retailers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starbucks-coffee-house.md) - [Blockchain Loyalty Programs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starbucks-1.md)
