4 Questions Before Using Gamification In Your Experiential Marketing

IMMERSIVE MARKETING | 5 MIN READ

Gamification

Gamification is becoming a common strategy in experiential marketing where customers can engage with your business/brand through games that are incorporated into your marketing. This is a good strategy for getting consumer data that you can use for your marketing.

But before going further with Gamification for your experiential marketing ask these 4 questions to yourself.

1. Is this the right fit?

Keep in mind that not because Gamification is a trend and has been successful with other businesses or brands it would be a hit with you. Gamification’s success depends on you. Yes, you. If your marketing objective and target market are not compatible with the objective of Gamification, then don’t pursue it at all but If you can seamlessly incorporate Gamification in your experiential marketing without making it look like it was only done just for the sake of getting in the trend, then go for it.

If you need help in evaluating and formulating gamified marketing strategy just get in touch with us.

2. What should I use in doing it?

Okay, so let’s say Gamification is fit for your marketing strategy, the next question is, what are you going to use in executing it? First is know what your market uses. Doing what they want makes them more engaged. Or if not you can apply proven approaches, like Kinect Augmented Reality Games and Applications where guests would be required to do gestures to do the activities at your event. Another is the use of Multi-platform Brandable Games that can work from mobile phones up to big touchscreens. Also trend now is the use of 360 & VR headgear to put your audience in a Virtual Reality world. Of course, you can also go with traditional less techy approaches. The key is to know what would work well with your market.

3. How can I attract more customers?

Having an experiential marketing that has Gamification is not enough to attract more customers. Your customers will be more engaged if they can interact with others users. You can do that with leaderboards that you can incorporate into your gamification. A sense of competition always gives excitement to people. With this,  you are not just straight-up selling your brand to your market but you are trying to engage them with your brand on a deeper level.

4. What can I give in return?

Even if your customers are well engaged with your marketing strategy and Gamification, it would be better for them if you give something in return. Rewarding them would make you more remarkable for them. You can give freebies that they can use or discounts in your products/services or a loot bag that contains your products or gift cheques. Appreciating your customers will make them appreciate our brand as well.

And since you are using gamification and leaderboards, you can base their rewards/incentive on how they did.

Miyens can offer Gamification Services that would fit well with your experiential marketing. Affordable yet professional and interactive, that’s what you can expect from us.

MYTH #1: SUCCESS GUARANTEED 100%

So you’ve launched an experiential marketing for your product, what’s next? As a business owner, it is normal if you are looking for results but here’s what you need to know. SUCCESS WON’T BE IMMEDIATE. You won’t feel it during your campaign nor after it.

If your experiential marketing works well, you might even be surprised at how successful it might get. Not only it will bring you the sales you want but brand loyalty as well that your customers will give for your product.

MYTH #2: IT’S EXPENSIVE MARKETING

If you are a small local business you can still do experiential marketing. You don’t have to follow the steps of big brands like Adidas, Pepsi, and Disney when it comes to their experiential marketing. You can do experiential marketing just by being creative and being unforgettable for your market. If your product is good enough then you would need to do less for your experiential marketing, remember that you’re still trying to market your product.

MYTH #3: JUST AN EVENT

It’s not just event to launch or promote your market. YOU ARE TRYING TO ENGAGE YOUR CUSTOMERS TO YOUR PRODUCT IN A DEEPER LEVEL. You are trying to associate your brand with an unforgettable experience for them. If you are opting for experiential marketing, then why not make it memorable not only for you but for your customers as well. Remember, customers that have an emotional attachment to a brand, make them patronize the product for a long time.

MYTH #4: IT’S THE MOST TRENDING MARKETING CAMPAIGN

Experiential marketing is not new in the marketing world. Those free taste tests that you see in supermarkets? That’s experiential marketing already.

If you want your experiential marketing to work, then give what you can offer. Invest not only financially but invest your effort and time as well to get the results you are aiming for.

2. Know who to contact

If you are doing a nationwide experiential marketing campaign, then it requires a lot of manpower. You need to contact a lot of people – from your store branches to online influencers who might help you spread the word out for your marketing. Ignoring these key people might drive your marketing campaign down south.

3. Excitement may not always be good

When we’re too excited about something we have a tendency to forget the substantial ideas we should keep in mind and prioritize. To have an effective experiential marketing you need to formulate a plan. Use the resources you have to come up with an idea that would work. Keep in mind that an event’s success lies in the planning that is done beforehand.

4. Process over product

In every activity, the PROCESS IS ALWAYS IMPORTANT. This is where you visualize your ideas and plans. Undergoing the process makes you realize what works well and what doesn’t. You come up with much better ideas than what you first thought of. Always remember that progress is a vital key to your marketing plan.
