GAME OVER!
GAMIFICATION
Game over? Definitely not! These days it’s challenging to stand out in the sea of marketing material. But there is a powerful tool to grab and keep attention: gamification and AR. By incorporating gamification and/or AR into your promotional tool, your company not only leaves a memorable impression. You also leave a lasting and sustainable impact.
What exactly is gamification?
In simple terms, it is the application of game elements and techniques in a non-game situation to motivate people, increase engagement and encourage behavior change. This ranges from using rewards and achievements to creating challenges and competition.
Gamification as a promotional tool
Applying gamification to your promotional tool opens up a world of possibilities. Consider adding QR codes that you scan to access exclusive content or participate in a game. By doing this, you create a sense of exclusivity and excitement around your brand.
What is augmented reality (AR)?
Augmented Reality (AR) is a technology that allows you to see digital things in the real world. With a smartphone or special glasses, you can see virtual objects or information on your screen that appear to be in the space around you. You can play and interact with it.
Bring print to life with AR
By applying Augmented Reality to your offline marketing materials, you can bring the product to life. Place a QR code in your advertisement, on your poster, flyer, in-store POS materials, merchandise or even outdoor advertising and let consumers experience the product. Bridge the gap between offline and online and create interaction with your target audience.
Sustainable solution
Unlike promotional products that are not always recyclable, digital solutions can be used repeatedly without creating physical waste.
Brand loyalty
AR and gamification offer an opportunity to build brand loyalty and strengthen customer relationships. By challenging people, offering rewards and creating a sense of community, you as a company can build strong relationships with your customers or employees. This can lead to more loyal employees, repeat purchases, positive word-of-mouth advertising and even brand ambassadorship.
Let’s get inspired
The spaghetti slurp game
To promote spaghetti month at Vapiano and create brand awareness, a social media activation campaign was devised. By scanning a QR code, you activate a filter on Instagram to play the spaghetti slurp game. The winner with the most points will win a year’s worth of free food at Vapiano. To do so, you have to share your photo with point count with the tag #slurptowin. Hilarious detail is that your mouth appears to be covered in ketchup!
