So what's in the Book?
When we looked at the current guidance on gamification, we found tonnes of material on gamification theory and examinations of well-established case studies focused on HR, learning and product development best practices. What we struggled to find though was a practical guide to implement all this theory, or any material focused solely on how to apply gamification to marketing – one of its most powerful applications!
This is why we decided to write this book: An actionable, non-jargon (we tried anyway) guide to boosting your marketing with one of the most powerful psychological models that can be applied to almost any business. This is a practical book for marketers and gamification professionals, written by a marketer and a gamification professional.
Click the buttons below to get a rundown of each section:
We start the book off by explaining what gamification is (and what it isn’t), its history, and why it’s important. If you’re new to gamification then this will be vital reading to understand the basic principles and terminology that we will be relying on throughout the book. If you’re an old hand at gamification, consider this good revision and an insight into our own perspectives on what gamification means to marketers.
Once we’ve agreed on what gamification is, the next section looks in-depth at why it works. We cover a lot of psychological theories here (and skip over even more entirely for the sake of brevity) to make sure that you understand the basics of why humans are motivated to act the way they do, and how individuals prioritise their motivations (both consciously and unconsciously). We aim to take you on a quick journey through human evolution and how it has shaped us into the irrational thinkers we are today.
Theory out of the way, this section starts to break down the different motivational factors that will influence your customers and how you can develop gamification solutions around them. Each chapter will examine one motivational lever (purpose, mastery, autonomy, etc), and discuss the various game techniques you can utilise to impact it. We also cover some of the weaknesses and traps that you can encounter when trying to implement game mechanics to each specific motivator.
Finally, we walk you step by step through building your own gamification solution. We guide you through setting goals, identifying gamification use cases, segmenting your customers/players, designing the gamification solution itself, and measuring the impacts of your solution. We also refresh your memory of some of the bigger problems you could encounter when implementing gamification and how you can hopefully avoid them.
