Dairy Queen’s NFT endeavor
Dairy Queen, the iconic ice cream giant, has taken a bold step into the future with its latest collaboration with Weirdo Ghost Gang. The pop-up NFT store, aptly themed “Ice and Snow Season“, marks a significant shift in how businesses interact with the growing NFT ecosystem.
From Nov. 15 to Dec. 31, the store will offer Dairy Queen’s delectable treats and immerse visitors in the innovative world of NFTs.
This partnership is more than just a marketing move; it’s an educational journey for consumers. Dairy Queen’s venture into digital marketing, combined with WGG’s expertise in NFT art, promises an enhanced and nuanced understanding of NFTs for the general public.
Visitors can expect an array of co-branded merchandise, including WGG-themed ice cream, a treat that symbolizes the blend of traditional business with digital innovation.

The power of collaboration: WGG’s expanding influence
The Weirdo Ghost Gang, known for its 5,555 ‘Lil Ghosts’ NFTs, has been a significant player in the NFT space. With a trading volume surpassing 21,510 Ether ($43.5 million), their influence in the Asia-Pacific region is undeniable. The current collaboration with Dairy Queen is a testament to WGG’s expanding reach and the growing importance of NFTs in mainstream business strategies.
Previous collaborations, like the “City Party Map – Shanghai Station” event with Jiujiu Duck Neck and the “Ghost Season” event at Beijing’s The Box, have shown WGG’s capacity to blend digital art with real-world experiences. These events, offering exclusive perks to NFT holders, have set a precedent for how NFT projects can successfully partner with traditional businesses to create unique customer experiences.

Adapting to a new era
The Dairy Queen-WGG partnership is part of a larger trend where NFT projects are increasingly collaborating with traditional businesses. Amidst a challenging crypto winter, such partnerships offer a new lifeline and marketing avenue for both digital and physical enterprises. The success of the Wassies by Wassies NFT Collection’s pop-up hotel in Singapore, which offered themed rooms at affordable prices, is a prime example of this emerging trend.
