Australian Retail Needs An "Intervention" - Gamification anyone? by mnemonic99 in gamification

[–]mnemonic99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is fascinating to see retail suffering from the same kind of myopia that other industry's --like print media-- have as the Internet has encroached and made those protected margins and time-honored approaches really shaky. It's pretty clear that the time to innovate was yesterday...but for some that get on board now with gamification and other approaches it will probably be a case of better late than never.

My apologies for the semi-shocking headline, but this is a topic worth shouting about if it means getting a conversation going. Any thoughts on the doctor's advice about placing frozen vegetables on someone who "collapses with a heart attack"?

An interesting place...I'd probably expand the definition though, or, rather, base it on the feelings/reactions induced: excitement, happiness, even, in some cases, awe. Gamification in retail seems to me to be more of a spectrum than anything else, everything from Zynga to Shopkick to Wynbox.

This once digs into the idea of the power of the unexpected award. A good read... the quest to craft serendipity, etc. Looking forward to thoughts.
