Start from Part 1 of this gamification review series.
The second time around, we went back to the drawing board with a fresh redesign to create a more fast-paced, 5-week campaign loaded with improvements, updates, and refinements.

If you haven’t already noticed, the 2013 strain of influenza is reaching “epidemic” proportions and people all over your Facebook have been strangely bragging about contracting this “flu thing”.

Banks tend to miss out on the benefits of gamification because they do not realize that consumers want to feel like they are in control of what they spend. Furthermore, banks tend not to worry about consumer engagement because what consumers do with their money is not a concept banks have leveraged with gamification. But what if banks made banking more like a game? When spending and saving money resembles a game, it has the potential to flip roles. The consumer takes control of what is in their bank account. Not the bank.

A common feature of nearly all gamification implementations is the presence of a reward system. People are motivated by rewards but do they always have to come in the form of a cash prize or fancy gadget? Suchit Dash of ifeelgoods believes it doesn’t have to be.
Tangible Rewards come in many shapes and sizes, and though they may not scale super well, they can be transformative. See how you can use non-discount, tangible rewards to drive user loyalty and engagement in this fast-paced talk from rewards expert Suchit’s session at GSummit SF 2013.
