Gamification - are you ready to play?
This document discusses gamification and how making typically non-game activities more game-like can benefit businesses. It defines gamification as making things more fun, rewarding, challenging, and social through using game design elements like points, leaderboards, badges, and virtual currencies. The benefits of gamification include increased customer engagement, loyalty, and behavioral data collection. While challenges exist in designing effective gamification programs, the business benefits include lower customer acquisition costs, improved customer retention, and a more cost-effective alternative to traditional loyalty programs.
