Why use gamification for your brand? Bunchball pulled together the above graphic in their Gamification 101 whitepaper This simple table matches up game mechanics (points, levels, challenges, etc.) with human desires for game play. Each of the mechanics match a primary human desire, but most of the mechanics also impact other areas of human desire.

Within the site users could interact with the Vimto characters in avariety of ways, such as mini-games, videos, images etc. The more they engaged with the site, the more their‘juice-ometer’ filled up. Users were rewarded with free downloads of music tracks.

LinkedIn LinkedIn offers a small example of gamification by incentivising users towards 100% profile completenesswith a progress bar that is visible while on the edit profile page. By providing a visual representation of your profile completeness LinkedIn hopes to trigger behaviour that drives us towards completeness.

Gamification can also help build loyalty inside your business But approach with caution! Its really important that a system like this is set up in a way that no one is discouraged to the point of giving up or experiences a reduction in job satisfaction.

What is NOT Gamification? Particularly in the early days, as the term was gaining traction, it was a common misconception that simply making a branded game was ‘gamification’. This is NOT what gamification is about. There are some similarities that could be drawn but the main difference is that branded games are about exposure and CTR where asadding gamification to a product is more about increasing engagement and loyalty.

Key issues to consider whenplanning Gamification for your brand Clear objectives How your customers behave? What motivates them? How do they prefer to be engaged?Gamification is a long-term strategy, not a launch- and-forget-it one. Your budget

Summary Gamification is the wrapper. It works best whenturning an already exciting, attractive product into a richer, more participatory one.
