Frequently Asked Questions

Is it necessary to launch my loyalty program with gamification features?

Even though introducing a loyalty program with gamification in it would make an impact, we recommend starting with a solid MVP and then evolving it based on the community’s response. Not to mention that testing the gamified features takes time, prolonging the design and implementation process.

What rewards or incentives are the best matches for a gamified loyalty program?

Rewards come in all shapes and sizes, and you should ensure that the best incentives are on the line, otherwise, people won’t engage with the gamified elements on a regular basis. We’ve gathered a large knowledge base regarding rewards, including blog posts and ebooks, which can help you make the decision.
