The Business of Gamification | Infographic via Visual.ly | Must Play | Scoop.it

Gamification has quickly become a super trend in marketing, customer retention and employee engagement. Check out this new infographic: The Business of Gamification.

Marty Note
Not sure why this is an infographic, but information is helpful and well presented. Gamification WORKS online. Don't be turned off by the famous Forrester report saying 80% of all gamification will fail. Duh, 80% of anything online fails. Gamification connects visitors to your content or THEIR content on YOUR website (even better). Gamification rocks online marketing.

Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

This deck loses something in translation. Sure it was more dynamic when presented (and am going to look for notes). I wanted to Scoop.it to rant about Gartner. 

Gartner is playing both sides of the #gamification trend. They promote it on the one hand saying everyone is doing it and then tear it down with their famous 80% will fail study. 

Newsflash Gartner 80% of all Internet marketing fails. How do I know this? 7 Years as a Director of Ecommerce taught me the immutable truth of Pareto's distribution otherwise known as the 80/20 rule. 

On any website 20% of anything will control 80% of anything (sales, clicks, shares, whatever). Congratulations Gartner your study discovered the 80/20 rule and then presented it as if was news (hey whatever it takes I guess). 

Don't be fooled by idiots, Internet marketing is a gamification engine. Even if you use very LOW LEVEL gamification such as a simple loyalty program or a contest or a game (with a leaderboard) you know games work online and don't let anyone tell you different.
