How to Increase Reach through Gamification
Engaging and retaining your current audience is vital to sustainable, successful business, especially in a market as dependent on repeat customers as that of sports brands. Due to the demanding nature of audience retention, it can be all too easy to let an equally important aspect of marketing—increasing your brand’s reach—slip through the cracks.
To combat this very real issue, it is best to utilise each marketing technique to their full potential. What improves engagement should contribute to growing reach in order to maximize your return on investment. In other words, your strategies should work on at least two levels: increased engagement and increased reach.

Gamification has long been a tool utilised by businesses to increase employee engagement and improve the effectiveness of job training and has recently made strides in business-to-customer relationships.
