This case study will explore how one organization implemented instant win games in their points-based incentive scheme and the results they achieved.Points-based incentive schemes are a popular method for organizations to motivate and reward their employees and partners. Under this type of program, participants earn points for completing specific actions or achieving certain goals. These points can then be exchanged for rewards. However, points-based incentive schemes can become costly for organizations with a high number of participants and if not properly designed and managed can lead to demotivation, lack of engagement and lack of participation.Instant win games provide a way to add excitement and engagement to a points-based program by giving participants a chance to win instant rewards.

Boost Engagement Through Fun and Rewards with Gamification in Loyalty Programs:
Gamification is more than just a trend—it’s a proven strategy that transforms loyalty programs by making them more engaging, interactive, and fun. In a world where customers are bombarded with marketing messages, incorporating gamified elements into your loyalty program can significantly increase participation, repeat engagement, and brand loyalty. Gamification refers to using game-like elements—such as points, levels, badges, and leaderboards—in non-game contexts to drive engagement and motivate specific behaviors. In the context of loyalty programs, gamification can encourage customers to interact more frequently with your brand, making everyday activities more rewarding and enjoyable. Humans are inherently motivated by competition and achievement, which is why gamification works well in loyalty programs. When customers feel like they are progressing toward a goal, whether earning a reward or unlocking a new level, they are more likely to remain engaged. Gamification taps into these psychological triggers by making rewards feel earned rather than given. This sense of accomplishment leads to higher satisfaction and loyalty. Several elements of gamification can elevate your loyalty program: 4. Leveling Up: A tiered system where customers advance through levels based on their activity can motivate them to stay engaged as they strive for higher-tier rewards with better perks. The […]

Gamification Effects on Engagement
From consumer loyalty programs, to B2B channel partner programs, to company health and wellness programs, everyone is looking for ways to increase engagement. Most people know that having the right reward offerings and robust incentive management technology is important, but there’s another lesser-known element that can help increase your incentive program’s engagement: Gamification. Gamification is an online marketing technique that takes qualities of games (point scoring, competition, rules of play) and applies them to a company’s product or service – in this case, an incentive program. Examples of Gamification in an incentive program can include: Games – A promotion where winning game pieces are randomly seeded into the universe of common and/or losing game pieces. Collect & Win – Promotion requires participants to save game pieces to complete a phrase, picture, or puzzle. Match & Win – Promotion requires players to match a symbol on their game piece to the winning symbol on displays. Instant Win – A self-contained random chance promotion. Includes scratch off, peel off, scan and win games, online and 800 number call-in games. Instant win games provide instant gratification. Sweepstakes – a promotion in which the winners are selected by chance. Random Drawings – Consumer enters […]
Market Research Incentives Strategies That Could Save You Thousands
The challenge that market researchers face is how to engage participants while keeping costs down. Utilizing an incentive program is a proven way to increase program participation and engage your users, but how do you keep program costs down? Short answer: Gamification and diverse, demographic-specific incentives. Take the case of one of All Digital Rewards Market Research clients. Our client had been running a cash-based incentive program for their market research panels. The program offered checks and prepaid cards, such as visa prepaid card rewards, as incentives for completing program tasks. There was consistent user engagement at least one to five times a month. Users had become habitual in their choices of the cash-equivalent rewards, and the program was proving to be expensive for our client. To decrease our client’s costs, we worked with them to enhance their current incentive program and transform it into a more cost-effective program without sacrificing engagement. First, we introduced a wide range of incentive reward products alongside the current cash-equivalent products as part of the marketplace for the points-based incentive management system. By adding the new rewards alongside the old cash-equivalent rewards, the users were able to view the new marketplace as an upgrade, […]

Loyalty Program Do’s and Dont’s
When it comes to loyalty programs, companies are struggling to figure out what works and what doesn’t to inspire loyalty in customers for their brands. Customer incentives have never been harder to define. According to a recent study from Experian, three out of four (75%) U.S. companies with loyalty programs generate a return on investment. This clearly shows a benefit for most companies who spend money on loyalty programs. There is no denying that loyal customers are more profitable than acquiring new customers time and time again. Actually, according to Experian, 69 percent of U.S. companies with loyalty programs track the lifetime value of each customer for an average value of $1,803. However, getting to the point of customers returning time and time again to shop with their favorite brand is easier said than done. Should brands offer fuel rewards? Or would points off groceries work better? Marketers have to get customers involved and eventually have them advocate for their brands by sharing products on social media and referrals! Below is the ultimate marketer’s list of do’s and dont’s of loyalty programs. Customer goal setting is beneficial for setting either a timeline or a call-to-action. This can be done through […]
Fear Not If You Use Gamification The Right Way!
Gamification is taking off. It is estimated that in 2016 $2.8 billion will be spent on gamification. 70% of Global 2000 organizations will have at least one gamified APP. And, 50% of organizations worldwide that manage innovation processes will gamify those processes. But, what is gamification? Gamification is the process of enhancing services with motivational processes to invoke enhanced experiences and further behavior outcomes. Gamification falls into the behavior-feedback-progression model. A specific behavior will get you specific feedback. Like playing catch. If you throw the ball and your partner catches it you will say “good job!” But, if your partner drops it how would you respond? The feedback will determine progression. If someone is getting a lot of negative feedback why would they continue? People play into the gamified apps for instant gratification or instant rewards. Make the consumer feel a connection with your company by implementing positive feedback and steps to continue progression such as call-to-actions. So, how does this so-called ‘gamification’ work? Well, gamification works because it plays into the psyche of humans. All ages at some point have been exposed to games whether it is baseball, card games, Nintendo, or Xbox. They learned to win, lose, and how […]

How To Make Your Product Stand Out With Gamification
Gamification is taking off in the digital world. Gamification is an online marketing technique that takes qualities of games (point scoring, competition, rules of play) and applies them to a company’s product or service. By gamifying your company, you are creating content for your audience to engage in by earning points, unlocking levels, or showing progress bars. 90% of Americans own a mobile device, 67% are on social networks, and 52% play games on their mobile device, computer, and or tablet. Consumers are always online, accessible any time, any way (phone, computer, tablet), and anywhere. With the help of social networking sites, it is easier than ever to share messages with a mass audience. Games are an effective way to engage your audience because it focuses their minds to a task in front of them. Gamification taps into the natural human desires of status, achievement, and competition.

This challenge used the truth or dare tactic, you either uploaded a video dumping a bucket of ice on your head, or you donated to the charity. Because the benefits were going to a cause, a social stigma arose if nominated participants […]
