Today we’re so excited to officially unveil the next generation of gamification: BigDoor’s Gamified Rewards Program!

Three things everyone should know about our new product:

1). It’s Easy to Implement - no matter what size publisher you are BigDoor is simple to integrate on your site. Our proprietary tools offer an easy-to-use web-based command center that manages publisher’s implementations.

2). We Provide Actionable Analytics and Performance Measurement - BigDoor provides the tools that site publishers need to take action on their implementation and measure success.

3). Get Real Results - Sites participating in our private beta saw real results including 153% lift in User Loyalty; 672% lift in User Engagement and 355X in Social Sharing.

Online publishers today are constantly challenged with trying to attract more visitors to their site and keeping those visitors engaged. Our new Gamified Rewards Program takes aim at both problems and creates a real solution. Any size website can now integrate a Gamified Rewards Program seamlessly.

We offer three solutions: Lite, Plus and Premium. Lite is a free offering for websites with fewer than 25,000 monthly visitors. Plus is a white-label and highly customized solution built for medium sized websites with up to one million monthly visitors. For enterprise customers, BigDoor creates a fully customizable Rewards Program as part of the Premium package.

Now publishers can reward their users within a gamified experience; think of it as a fun and engaging frequent flyer program that integrates seamlessly with your brand. Rewards, such as exclusive content, unlocked powers, exclusive virtual items, community status and even tangible rewards create deeper engagement with a site and rewards users for their loyalty and engagement. Implementing a rewards program is now a simple process and can be managed entirely through BigDoor. Publishers can also take advantage of many advanced services provided by BigDoor, including paid sponsorship and management of high value rewards through sweepstakes.

Today we’re also very excited to announce our next round of funding from Foundry Group and Brad Feld. We’re incredibly lucky to have an investor who has such a great history with game and technology companies continue to be a part of what we’re building at BigDoor!

Over the next few weeks we’ll be detailing some of the proprietary features available so stay tuned for more and please share your feedback!

Today’s blog post is courtesy of our Web Designer, Chad Jacobsen. Some of you might be familiar with Chad’s recent work on the Gamification Goes Mainsteam Infographic – which by the way has now been shared more than 4,500 times!

Gamification has been changing the way we explore the Internet, so we decided to change how the Internet explores gamification. BigDoor has been posting our own news, announcements, and experiences in this marketplace since we were founded in 2009 on our company blog. With the launch of this redesigned blog, we’ve streamlined the most important elements to deliver up-to-date insight, strategy and updates – and we now deliver them all from this new destination. Here on mygamification.com you’ll find our latest posts and highlighted recent items across multiple social media outlets. If you’re not immediately satisfied (and hey – never settle), dig in to our searchable archives and tagged categories. You have almost three years’ worth of leading gamification platform experience at your fingertips.

We’ve adopted “Adelle” as our new header font-face. Its friendly slab serifs, rounded characters, and clean lines won our hearts. Our colors have been hand-picked to give you a highly legible, easily searchable and  eye-strain free tour through the newest insider gamification information. Aside from snazzy ribbons and gorgeous gradients we’re working full-time to make sure we become a go-to gamification destination. If you have suggestions or comments on how we can better fit this bill don’t hesitate to give us some feedback. Also be sure to catch all of our other postings via Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and our recently launched Google+  page. Fanfare aside, we’re glad you’ve visited.
