As a gamification company we are all about loyalty, which is why we put our heads together to come up with a special way to reward our most loyal visitors here at the BigDoor office. Just like we provide a platform that encourages users to return to your website, we wanted to encourage visitors to return to our office (because we love meeting new friends).

We are very excited to announce our first ever BigDoor Loyalty Special on Foursquare. Visitors who check-in at the BigDoor office 5 times, will unlock a $10.00 Amazon.com gift card (limited to the first 30 people). Stop by, say a quick ‘hello,’ grab a copy of our our popular “Gamification Goes Mainstream” infographic and check-in on Foursquare! Bonus points for sharing your check-in on Facebook or Twitter.

If you aren’t local, we hope we have a chance to meet you during one of the many events we attend throughout the year, or  set up some time to talk with us next time you are in Seattle.

Happy Check-ins!

 If you don’t know where we are located, you can find us in South Lake Union neighborhood on the first floor of the TechStars Seattle HQ:

All we can say is, well done Michael!

Well, maybe that’s not all we can say.  A few more thoughts on the subject.

Our founders have more battle scars than we ever cared to earn from public debates of this nature, and as a result we’d like to think that we’ve learned a few lessons along the way.  Here’s a few pointers we’d like to offer for no charge at all (virtual or otherwise) to the players in this debate:
