Rewards come in all shapes and sizes and may be customized to fit the needs and behavior of the customer, which helps make them extremely effective. For those who want to take things a step further, gamification is one way to improve loyalty program engagement and keep customers excited. Keep reading to learn more about how you can utilize gamification in your loyalty program.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Benefits of Gamification for Loyalty<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As with most marketing efforts, the goal is to improve customer engagement and generate excitement around a brand, business, or event. Instead of a tired, old rewards program where customers slowly accumulate points towards an unspecified goal or discount, gamification injects instant excitement and gratification. Customers aren\u2019t just passively earning rewards, they are actively engaging in a game that usually guarantees some sort of reward.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep in mind that adding gamification to your loyalty program doesn\u2019t have to be complicated. With the right system, you can simply click a few buttons and automate the rewards system and gamification features. You won\u2019t have to constantly monitor the program to enjoy results.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Types of Gamification<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-115 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.preferredpatron.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Scratch3.jpg\" alt=\"Instant Win Scratch Off Game\" width=\"1281\" height=\"560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.preferredpatron.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Scratch3.jpg 1281w, https:\/\/www.preferredpatron.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Scratch3-150x66.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.preferredpatron.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Scratch3-600x262.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.preferredpatron.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Scratch3-300x131.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.preferredpatron.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Scratch3-1024x448.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.preferredpatron.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Scratch3-768x336.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1281px) 100vw, 1281px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Virtual rewards and gamification can come in many forms and almost every game involves some degree of chance, which only adds to the excitement. Here are just a few examples:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instant win: The n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> customer to visit wins. All customers have to do is visit for the chance to win a designated reward. It is a simple way to encourage engagement and hopefully convert some sales.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spin-the-wheel: Players can spin the wheel and earn a certain number of rewards points of a percentage off a purchase. The choice is up to you. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mystery codes:\u00a0 Apply secret codes to product packaging, which customers can reveal after purchases. Helps promote enrollment.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instant win scratch-off game: You can bring the excitement of interactive scratch-off cards to your loyalty program. Customers can engage with a customer-facing kiosk to reveal a potential prize as they \u201cscratch\u201d away. <\/span><\/span><\/span>It provides the same experience as lottery scratch off cards without the hassle and cost associated with printing paper cards.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Slot machine: This approach can offer random payouts. Customers may even be able to take specified actions that help them earn turns at the slot.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Raffle drawings: You can simplify the entire process of collecting entries and drawing winners.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bonus point days and times: Promotes extra business on desired days\/times. This is a great way to encourage business during slow times.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Achievement Tiers and Badges: Motivates customers to increase shopping frequency and spend with the promise of attaining higher-level program benefits and status as they continue to reach new levels.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Best Practices<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To enhance your loyalty program, it is a good idea to incorporate gamification periodically. If it is constantly available, it loses some of the excitement and doesn\u2019t feel special. It is also a good idea to provide a clear path to a definitive goal. If you are offering a points system, make sure that they know how many points they have and how many they will need to earn the next reward. For example, \u201cYou have 115 points and only need 35 more to earn a $5 reward.\u201d Without these details, they won\u2019t feel invested in working towards the next reward.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As mentioned before, introducing gamification into your loyalty system does not have to be a complex and cumbersome undertaking. Technology has made it incredibly easy for everyone, from beginners to skilled marketers, to implement a loyalty system that speaks to their customers.
