campaigns“Gamification” of LL’s activities with
end-users, through loyalty point
system
Participants (e.g. older adults)
donate their time of participation,
which is turned into points to
support a pre-defined by Thess-
AHALL common cause.
Once the target points are collected,
sponsors donate real useful gifts to
the organisation (nursing home ,day
care center, patients association,
etc).
