What Do You Know About Gamification?

A little in the dark? That word not in your daily vocab? Here are some tips:

  • Gamification is brand-driven consumer actions and customer journeys in social media and mobile apps.
  • Gamification is badges
  • It is not the same as social media games (Farmville, Mafia Wars)
  • It is not couponing (at least not Groupon one-time purchase acquisition)
  • It is not MMOs (massive, multi-player online role-playing games)
  • Gamification is incentivization triggers, for:
    – Surveys
    – Opt-ins
  • It offers consumers Rewards (to achieve monetization)
  • It is modeled on one of the most enduring aspects of social media: Engagement
  • Because of its guidance and learning process properties, gamification has inherent capabilities in education.
