In brick-and-mortar retail, gamification has been deployed in recent years to make the shopping experience more exciting, and entice more consumers into stores. It’s a strategy that applies game mechanics, such as leader boards, levels, points and badges, to the retail experience — but anything a brand does to make the product discovery and purchasing process more playful could, broadly speaking, come under the umbrella of gamification.
