4. 3. External Events / activities in 2015 that could be part of promoting our
new visual representation are, the forthcoming major sports events like ICC
cricket world cup, cultural festivals, road shows, banners are public places
etc.
4.Mobile marketing can help in initiating a chain of awareness messages.
With permission marketing, once the user give clearance to enroll, mobile
messages can be customized from friends list.
So, for me a message will be like, Hey Achint, your friend Abhishek just
posted a photo on world vision.
Or Mohit just donated 100$ to World vision and helped a poor child in India.
A mms, with a picture, showing a happy face of child, who could survive another
day.

5. 5. Practical Challenges
Getting people committed for supporting a child on a long run – Will mitigate this
by asking the child to send a thankyou note each time the money comes.
How to win the lost players – will ask the player friends to check of the player is
fine, putting social pressure for return.
Getting for-profit corporates to get linked to our cause – target he soft people in
organization, who are feelers towards humans, and show them how we can make
this world better. Such feeler will then may push your pitch harder.

6. Section #2
“Giving Back to Existing Supporters of World Vision”
Middle class emerging economies
My strategy will be to identify and reward the loyal supporters and donors.
But providing monetary incentive will not work, as it will show that we have too much
money. Hence, alternate rewards like tax incentives, other valued incentives need to be
planned.
When a supporter posts, does a word of mouth publicity or makes a donation, a
record is generated for the same using a weighted score for the impact made with
the activity of the supporter/donor.
The weighted score will keep on adding to the supporter/donor account which he
can cash for certain benefits that we can provide.
Such benefits can be like tax incentives, free public transport, some benefits to the
donor kids etc.
We will make monthly , quarterly and yearly score calculation for the effort that
the player has put.

7. Once this score has been calculated a ranking will be generated so that the
player can know where he/she stands, and what all benefits can be availed.
To be fair and transparent, the players will be having a record for the
activities done by them and their other supporters, so that they know where
do they rank in the process, and what effort can make them better.
The recommendation engine will suggest activities than will get more points
depending upon the players activity.
It is possible that the player is pushing too hard in one dimension, hence the
recommender system will show other options.

8. Epic calling is already there for supporters since they are participating.
The development and accomplishment will be fixed with the points, badges
and leaderboard ranking.
The badges will be monthly given for appreciating the effort.
Supporters will feel empowered with the various choices that they will have
in the reward program.
Supporters will be curious in thinking and calculating which activity they
should do next to gain more in less time, hence making myself more impactful
supporter.

9. Resources that I will be needing include, a software system that can track
employee activity on daily basis.
A feedback touch point, where supporters can see their performance. This
feedback should have multiple touch points and not single technology
dependent.
The players will be able to check their behavior depending this feedback.

10. Overlap between loyalty and gamification occurs, when loyalty leaves its
monotonicity of fixed action, and gets an emotional touch to it.
So, from a mere 200 points for a ticket, to an experience for choosing XYZ
airlines because this is what you community prefers, so this is what your
lifestyle matches with.
In gamification points and action take a backseat, and emotional connect to
drive behavior comes forward.

11. Since some activities like word of mouth are difficult to measure, we will ask
the supporter to use unique hashtags, and ask the audience to tweet with
that #, more the # more the score you will get.
For online activities the monitoring can be handled with software, by tracking
the donations made, or new members added successfully etc.

16. Planned this game for all streams, not depending on mobile marketing only.
Once this game is built it can be accessed from laptop., tablet mobile etc.
But keeping future in mind, mobile is the promising technology, as in poor
world as well as rich countries the phones used are shifting to smartphones.
Celebrities like Aamir Khan, Amitabh Bachchan can be enrolled.
