7 Benefits of engaging your members with gamification

Gamification, also known as game-based marketing is the art and science of translating daily customer interactions into games that serve their business purposes. It encourages customer loyalty through rewards, contests, and challenges.

Gamification creates a positive and rewarding environment for users in your community. It also benefits your overall business in the following ways:

1. Participation

As they participate in your community, users will interact with your products and brand so that relationships with your company continue to grow.

2. Loyalty

Over time, users who continue to interact with your brand ultimately increase their confidence in your brand, who remain, customers, because they don't want to miss out on the benefits and rewards of their community.

3. User suggestions and content

When users remain active, they provide feedback or even suggestions based on their interactions and experience. This can also generate user-generated content that will improve your offering in the future.

4. Referrals

One of the most exciting benefits of having active customers is that they will be more willing to share your brand and community with colleagues and friends, thus increasing their bandwidth with the generation of leads. These types of customers are also more likely to post information about you on social networks, which means that you could go viral!

5. Fun

Gamification is meant to be fun. Creating badges, levels, leaderboards, and a sense of rewards and satisfaction will help provide a pleasant experience for your users and ensure that people feel connected to your business.

6. Revenue

All of the benefits listed above will result in an increase in your income. Satisfied customers are more likely to remain true to a particular brand, hence retaining revenue and share their interests with others leading to new revenue.

7. SEO

Community engagement will automatically increase your SEO ranking as more comments, such as users will increase your company name instance.
