Be-There Point Incentive

Postby Acrid the Scarecrow » Thu Apr 21, 2016 10:02 pm

Hey everyone, here is an incentive program I have been running in Vegas for about a year and a half. This incentive is less recruitment, but it is retention, which is equally important. Much like daily challenges in MMOs or class credits in Amtgard, it gives players a reason to keep coming out every week. I released it in three waves, much like patches to a games.

The core rules are simple: when you show up to practice, you get a point; if you show up on time, you get a second point. At the end of six months, the top four members with the most points received prizes (tunics, armor, weapons, etc). Any member who earned 20 points, earned a realm belt favor.

The second phase introduced Bonus Points: extra points you could earn from doing special tasks. And now, members who earned 40 points earned a realm dagger. These points really ramped up the competitiveness of the incentive.

Finally, the third installment introduced Elite Challenges. These were made to help inspire the more influential members to improve themselves and work toward greater goals.

Just thought I'd share incase anyone was looking for a good incentive to run. This one has been doing very well for us. Any suggestions is also encouraged.

This is great, if I manage to get this realm (re)established I will try something like this.

That sounds awesome. I'll give it a read through when I have a chance :)
