Why Gamify?Is this your Consumer? Customer? Employee? Prospect? Ho-hum
“Gamers tend to be more motivated than non-gamers to be connected to others, and they display a higher than average propensity to interact with brands on social networks...”Adam Kleinberg for Mashable
Gamify!My perspective: I’ve never met anyone who didn’t want to be a super hero…. Or want some form of super hero super power. So why not give your customers | consumers | employees | prospects that super hero feeling?Create a win/win experience!
