WHAT ARE THE MAIN 3 CATEGORIES OF GAMIFICATION?


After reading our first introduction blog of gamification, you may get some broad concept of what gamification is about. Today our Gamificaters are going to give you some examples of gamification in practice for different places. There are three main categories, where gamification adds value. And these are external, internal, and behavior change context.

1.     External

And here it means external to the firm or the organization that you're in. So these are applications of gamification for customers or for potential customers in areas like marketing & sales and customer engagement. For example, in order to encourage people to visit your website, most of the companies will choose point system, leader board, from which you might gain rewards from the company according to your frequent visit and participation on-line. We’ll talk more about this kind of application in our next posts.


2.     Internal

As you might guess, internal context is about applications of gamification to people, who are in your company already, like Employees. Gamification can involve people to participate and contribute more efforts in a joyful way.

3.     Behavior change

You had similar situations before? Maybe you already know you should take exercises everyday to keep fit, but it’s hard, right?

Gamification provides the motivation to help you change that behavior, get rid of this laziness and finally form a good habit. For example, gaining a no speeding lottery could be a fantastic motivation for drivers to slow down. If you are not speeding then you might win a lottery, and the money is from those are caught speeding.
