From videogame to websites and apps

Engage and motivate your team with interactive gamification systems, achievement mechanics and personalized reward strategies that drive performance and boost employee satisfaction.

Gamification is a marketing technique that uses game-like elements in a non-game context to increase user engagement and effectively communicate messages. This practice is increasingly used by web agencies, but also in various business sectors where games are used to improve audience engagement. In the digital world, the effect of gamification is enhanced by the possibilities of interactivity that can be created within websites. It is a method of engaging the interest of the audience and involving them in the purpose of the message. The strategy of gamification makes it possible to increase interaction between users and draw attention to certain aspects, making the message more effective. Furthermore, gamification can be used in many areas, including brand promotion, social marketing and valuable customer engagement.

Gamification has its origins in video games. However, websites can be gamified even if they have nothing to do with video games. Once the message to be conveyed is defined, gamification can be used to influence the behaviour of website visitors, for example by getting them to click on certain sections of the website to explore topics of interest. Gamification can increase the average time users spend on websites and show that the site they are visiting is relevant to their needs. This subconsciously persuades users to sign up for newsletters or take other actions on the website instead of leaving it. Thanks to the interactive features offered by the internet, gamification can be used in numerous areas, including brand promotion and customer loyalty.

By setting goals based on the user's needs and providing rewards for visitor interactions , navigation is stimulated and encouraged until the desired goal is reached. This method is based on satisfying the wants and needs of the internet user immediately.
Gamification rewards could be to download exclusive or in-depth content, get high score after completing a treasure hunt for information scattered on a website, completing quizzes and sharing results with friends on social networks. Gamification allows you to increase user interest in your website, increase the average time users spend on pages and prove that your website is relevant to their needs. This makes it more likely that users will do what you want them to do on your website, such as subscribe to newsletters or purchase products.

The design

The design of a gamified website plays a crucial role in encouraging user interaction. It should attract the user and make them return to the most interesting content by encouraging them to behave voluntarily. Gamification is based on the game experience by creating a videogame-like dynamic: points, levels, missions, objects to find, questions to solve and so on. Websites should therefore be conceived and designed according to these principles to encourage the user to invest more and more time. Gamification of a website is thus based on a simple game dynamic that aims to engage the user more and make them a full participant. The link between design and gamification is therefore crucial to ensure an engaging and attractive user experience. The user, driven by the desire to participate and engage, will complete the desired levels and objectives, increasing the time spent on the website. Ultimately, thoughtful and careful design is a key element in ensuring effective gamification.

The results of gamification

The introduction of gamification makes it possible to collect real feedback from users who visit the website. It enables new ways of profiling users, collecting data about them and analysing it, thereby expanding the user base.
Gamification works when it is well designed and when there is content to work with. In the best case, we can integrate all the psychological aspects of a video game into the website while ensuring excellent search engine optimisation. We can incorporate factors like rewards, status, goals, virtual goods and leaderboards.

Thanks to gamification, companies can engage users in innovative, entertaining and captivating ways. But what results can be achieved by applying this strategy to a website? First of all, gamification allows users to increase their interaction with the website. Typically, people only visit a website once, but with gamification you can create an entertainment experience that entices users to return again and again. An engaging gamification experience can increase time spent loitering on the website, reduce abandonment rates and boost user retention. In addition, gamification can improve the user experience on the website. In a game context, users perceive activities as less stressful and more enjoyable, which increases their willingness to continue interacting with the website. Gamification can also help improve the company's image, as satisfying game experiences encourage users to speak well of the brand and increase its visibility on social networks and the internet. Finally, gamification allows companies to gather valuable information about users and their behaviour on the website. Through gamification activities, it is possible to collect data about user interaction and interests. This data can be used to improve website design, user engagement, lead generation and marketing targeting. When used strategically and designed well, gamification can have a significant impact on a website's performance and provide a significant competitive advantage over the competition.

Rewards, virtual goods, goals, levels, leaderboards

Rewards

Gamification is an effective technique to engage users, especially by collecting points, which is the easiest and most powerful technique to implement. However, in order for the user to be truly motivated to earn points, it is important to create a reward system. Even though these points have no value in themselves, the human brain is attracted by the simple fact of collecting them. However, if the points are not linked to rewards, virtual goods, etc., there is a risk that they will quickly lose interest. Rewarding the user through gamification can therefore be an effective way to motivate them to engage more and create a stronger bond with your product or service. This approach can lead to increased customer loyalty and retention, as well as spreading your brand through collaborative activities on your website or social media. Rewards can be of different types: discounts, vouchers, gifts or virtual goods, to name a few examples. It all depends on the context in which the gamification takes place and the target audience. The important thing is that these rewards motivate the user to keep playing and collaborating by creating a real reward system where the user feels valued. In summary, gamification can be an effective way to engage users and improve your customers' experience.

Virtual goods

Virtual goods and the gamification approach are becoming a new trend in the digital world. One of the main reasons for this success is the rewarding of the user for their behaviour. Rewarding the user for the time and effort invested in the platform increases the player's interest and at the same time allows them to justify the investment made in the platform. In some areas where gamification is applied, users are incentivised to spend money to buy additional virtual goods that can enrich the gaming experience and increase satisfaction levels. This business model is becoming increasingly popular as it offers users a unique and immersive gaming experience where the satisfaction of their actions is enhanced by the purchase of new virtual goods. In summary, the world of virtual goods used in gamification represents a new frontier that can enrich the players' experience and open up new business opportunities in digital reality.

Goals

Thanks to gamification, it is possible to create an engaging and lively environment that keeps users glued to the screen. One of the main aspects of gamification is the ability to unlock certain goals, which provides an additional reason to keep visiting the website or app. The achievement of a certain goal is generally recognised by the awarding of badges, trophies or other rewards. This gamification model is based on healthy competition and the possibility of creating a shared culture of play among users. The very reason why different awards are given is to encourage comparison with other participants, to keep healthy competition high and to encourage collaboration between participants. In this way, gamification not only makes the interaction between users more fun and engaging, but also enables the building of an active and motivated community that is able to have a strong impact on the company's activities.

Levels

Levels are one of the main elements of gamification that allow users to access new content and experiences. The ability to unlock new levels after completing certain challenges provides users with a continuous incentive mechanism that motivates them to keep achieving new goals. This in turn affects the loyalty of users, who feel rewarded with each success. For this reason, levels are a key element of gamification: they not only stimulate interactions, but also improve the user experience and reinforce the brand image. Furthermore, levels allow companies to create a customised gamification experience. The differentiation of levels allows players to customise their experience. This in turn allows companies to customise their offerings and create a more active and motivated community. In summary, levels are a powerful mechanism to increase user engagement and create an engaging and personalised gamification experience.

Leaderboards

Leaderboards are one of the most important drivers of gamification. Thanks to them, users can be encouraged to compete against each other and explore the website to gain information about the brand in a non-invasive way. During the competition, users are encouraged to explore all areas of the website to gain a competitive advantage and improve their ranking. This fun and emotional experience not only increases user engagement, but also allows the brand to gather new data about browsing behaviour and build its reputation. In addition, rankings have a strong psychological value as they stimulate personal satisfaction and pride related to achieving success. This motivates users to compete with their friends and neighbours, creating an increasingly active and motivated community that promotes site sharing and brand awareness. Rankings are one of the most important tools of gamification that can stimulate user engagement, improve the user experience, enrich knowledge about browsing behaviour and consolidate brand reputation.
