Treasure Hunt
Take your community on a treasure hunt around your centre! Start by having users enter a Content Card (either the Secret Code Card or Image Card with data capture) to receive a clue directing them to a physical or digital location to find the ‘secret code’. Once this code is submitted, this can then reveal another clue and so on. Turn this into a more extensive campaign by doing ‘Treasure Hunt Thursdays’ or on special occasions.ExampleDrive families in-centre by offering a free coffee to mums on Mother’s Day. When they enter their details on the Engagement Hub, they will be sent a Digital Coupon for a free coffee as well as the first clue for the treasure hunt. This could lead them to various retailers with an accompanying Digital Coupon, ultimately leading them to the end of the treasure hunt at a florist, where they receive a free bunch of flowers!
Sports Predictor
Encourage your community to predict unknown events for special occasions and reward those who get their predictions correct. This works great for big events such as AFL, BBL, and A-League games, but also provides a great opportunity to tie into local teams and support your community.ExampleWorking with local sports teams, build a live predictor game that allows your community to directly engage and make predictions on the game, e.g.: Which team will win? Over or Under 2.5 goals? Who will score? Encourage your community to get involved and watch the game, and then reward correct selections with in-centre vouchers.
Jelly Bean Guess
Use the physical space in-centre and work with retailers to hold a good old-fashioned guessing game! Fill a container with X amount of an object then use the Number Guess Card to allow your community to take a guess.ExamplePartner with a sporting goods retailer to fill a large container with footy balls, place it somewhere central in your shopping centre, and include visible posters with QR codes to the Engagement Hub. In-centre customers can then scan the QR codes to easily guess the number. You can build on this by adding a Secret Code Card that is changed daily to drive people in-centre to submit a guess.
Story Time
Create great user-generated content with the 20 Words or Less Card and the Media Uploader Card. Encourage families to write creative content, upload, and share!ExampleHost a competition to find the most creative kids in your community. With a fun prompt such as “The Big Gloomy Castle…”, encourage kids (and their parents) to upload their best action story. You can then publish the best ones and announce a winner. Bonus idea: this could be made into a real book and given as a prize!
Test Your Knowledge
Use either the Live Trivia Card or Quiz Card to test your community’s knowledge on any topic. This is an excellent opportunity to learn more about your community through market research questions and reward your audience.ExampleCreate a trivia focused on your community and the retailers within your centre with topics such as: “What is Mr Gelato’s Favourite Flavour?” or “How Long Does It Take to Smoke Mr. BBQ’s Famous Brisket?” These moments spark conversation, drive people into retailers and add value to the whole centre. As a bonus, you can award the top (or all!) participants with a Digital Coupon for a particular store or centre-wide.
What Type Are You?
Use a Personality Quiz Card to engage your community and send out personalised rewards based on the outcome of the quiz. These can be based on specific dates and events, or any topic that you can think of! This is also a prime spot to include market research questions that allow you to drill down and get a greater understanding of that individual consumer’s persona.ExampleAsk your community, “What Type of Pizza Are You?” By asking several questions such as ‘Sweet or Salty?’ or ‘What’s your favourite sport?’ will lead them to be crowned the Hawaiian King. They are then ultimately sent a Digital Coupon for a Hawaiian pizza from the local pizzeria.
Colouring-In Competition
Take an old classic and reinvent it through your Engagement Hub. Colouring-In competitions are a great way to engage young families, and on the Engagement Hub, you can both host the competition and showcase the entrants’ masterpieces.ExampleEngage young families by distributing a blank black-and-white image on the Engagement Hub. Users can then download the image, colour it in and then upload the creation through the Engagement Hub. To incentivise future players, upload the winning images onto your Engagement Hub and offer up a fun, child-friendly prize or experience.
