Gamification Marketing in the Fashion Industry
With the digitalisation of the fashion industry, the importance of social media campaigns, influencer marketing, digital clothing experiments, and many other new tactics come into play. The tech transformation of the fashion industry has reinforced the desire to escalate brand reach and increase revenues. It’s an industry that has been in the digital world for a long time, but what we’ve seen in recent months takes it a step further as it enters into gamification territory.
Gamification marketing describes the use of gaming mechanics in a non-gaming context. It’s designed to create interest and provide opportunities to acquire new leads and collect data.
In a challenging industry like fashion, gamification can provide that extra detail which can be crucial to lead customers to make a purchase with your brand. It’s incredibly easy to integrate with your website, social media, and other communication channels. Moreover, it allows you to achieve a greater reach in a cost-effective way.
What challenges can gamification help with?
- Increase brand awareness
- Boost the acquisition of permissions
- Strengthen customer loyalty
- Identify new leads
- Assist with the collection of relevant data
- Create a unique customer journey

The brand had a desire to activate its customers and find a cost-effective tool that could create results.

The main prize for the campaign was a gift card for 10,000 DKK. In addition, there were other prizes of discount codes and chances to win specific products, among others.
Customers responded very well to this initiative and the campaign exceeded all expectations. Here are the results:
