Best Practices
- Give away smaller and bigger incentives, to make the game motivating (by giving bigger prizes). Limit the big prizes to the X first participants to urge customers to take part in your contest.
- Give the incentives as unique coupon codes or dedicated gift cards, to avoid fraud.
- Set up a minimum order value to redeem the incentive to ensure you meet your sales goals.
- Advertise the game among your current customers, in-venue and also to potential new customers to bring all kinds of audiences.
- Geocaching works best in open areas because of the GPS signal. As your game may bring a lot of attendees, it may also be required to have a bigger space available. Shopping malls can have quite a small area to organize such events at scale, look at nearby forests, parks or streets as well.
