Harness the power of games to create extraordinary customer engagement with Game–Based Marketing. Gamification is revolutionizing the web and mobile apps. Innovative startups like Foursquare and Swoopo, growth companies like Gilt and Groupon and established brands like United Airlines and Nike all agree: the most powerful way to create and engage a vibrant community is with game mechanics. By leveraging points, levels, badges, challenges, rewards and leaderboards these innovators are dramatically lowering their customer acquisition costs, increasing engagement and building sustainable, viral communities. Game–Based Marketing unlocks the design secrets of mega–successful games like Zynga s Farmville, World of Warcraft, Bejeweled and Project Runway to give you the power to create winning game–like experiences on your site/apps. Based on the groundbreaking work of game expert and successful entrepreneur Gabe Zichermann, Game–Based Marketing brings together the game mechanics expertise of a decade s worth of research. Driven equally by big companies, startups, 40–year–old men and tween girls, the world is becoming increasingly more fun.
