One such innovative strategy that has proved highly effective is gamification.

What is Gamification?
It involves integrating game-like attributes into non-game settings like marketing campaigns to encourage or engage users. Such elements can include points, badges, leaderboards, challenges and rewards. It makes interactions more enjoyable and compelling by capitalizing on people’s natural desires for competition, achievement and recognition.
