Six interesting examples of gamification in ecommerce

The video game industry is worth more than $100bn worldwide, so it's no surprise that businesses are using gamification to try to boost sales.

The idea is that by adding gaming elements to the sales process, such as small challenges and rewards, you can increase customer loyalty and advocacy.  

 

As in every game or competition, the participants have to be motivated by a worthwhile reward. It’s also true that the greater the reward, the more you can ask people to do to earn the reward.

hugh mcclung's curator insight, Today, 1:28 AM

Summary:

 

These findings give us three important insights. First, organizations can capitalize on news trend to strengthen message penetration online. Second, Twitter can significantly augment the influence of individual users. Third, opinions expressed on Twitter may have larger implications for marketing and communication strategy development.


Again, twitter can become a important part of a hospital communication too.

Welcome to Centre for Patient Leadership

Welcome to Centre for Patient Leadership | Healthcare & Social Business Solutions | Scoop.it

The Centre for Patient Leadership (CPL) provides learning and support for a new generation of healthcare leaders – Patient Leaders.

Now more than ever, the NHS needs new leaders and innovative solutions. But patients, service users and carers are seen as part of the problem and remain a huge untapped asset. It’s time to shift our thinking.

When patients lead and manage their own health and well-being and when they develop the confidence and skills to lead and influence others, something special takes place! Positive change happens, new solutions arrive and collaborative systems of healthcare emerge.
