Gamification Marketing for Sporting Events
Event gamification marketing has revolutionized the way we plan events and measure their success. It increases audience engagement and helps reach goals in a flawless way.
Whether we are at festivals, concerts or other events, we live in a world where everyone has digital opportunities at their fingertips, and that offers exciting opportunities for interaction with the audience.
There are many ways to make your attendees feel truly immersed in the experience, from missions and challenges to competitions, both in-person and virtual.
This event trend has been around for some time, and thanks to the fast development and new technological solutions, it has now reached brand new heights.
How To Gamify Sporting Events?
Inform your audience about planned games ahead of time in order to build a buzz and possibly reach and attract a wider audience. It’s crucial to include gamification marketing in your event marketing strategy, as it works best when people know about the challenge before it launches.
Choose specific methods of gamification marketing that match your event goals, but most importantly make sure to integrate them with the event.
Some compete for awards, some enjoy competing, while others appreciate social recognition. Consider the following tips:
- showcase the leaderboard on on a big-screen and social media
- give a public shout-out to winners at the event and on social media
- give the winner a chance to lead a team in a breakout session
