BILLA Austria

BILLA, a leading supermarket chain in Austria, launched a two-stage gamified campaign to increase foot traffic and sales. The campaign, designed around an Olympic theme, engaged users with a virtual cycling race followed by a spin-the-wheel game for prizes. The results were impressive: 90% of users who registered for the second game completed it, and 70% of rewards were distributed, with a 25% redemption rate. The campaign achieved a 99% average game completion rate and a turn rate of 3.7x, showing strong engagement and user interaction.

The Challenge

BILLA aimed to increase foot traffic to its stores and drive sales by engaging in-store customers. Its goal was to use Gamification Marketing to boost brand interaction and offer instant rewards. Additionally, it wanted the campaign to align with its broader Olympic-themed marketing push.

The Solution

BILLA launched a two-stage gamified campaign to address this challenge: a Cycling Race followed by a Spin the Wheel game. The campaign was designed around the Olympic theme, creating an engaging narrative and offering instant rewards. Here's how it worked:

1. Cycling Race: Users participated in a virtual race set against the backdrop of Paris during the Olympics. They needed to collect 10 medals to complete the race. After finishing, users were directed to the second game, Spin the Wheel, via a button on the result page.

2. Spin the Wheel: Users can spin the wheel to win instant prizes after completing the cycling race. However, they first had to register to access the game, allowing BILLA to collect valuable leads. The prizes included instant-win items such as a free NÖMPRO Vanilla Protein Drink, a Schulmaus snack bar, 10% discounts for the BILLA online shop, and even 7x loyalty points for future purchases.

This dual-game strategy heightened user engagement and ensured repeat interactions. By requiring players to complete the cycling race to access Spin the Wheel, the campaign encouraged users to stay engaged longer and increased their motivation to participate.

The Results

The dual-stage gamified campaign proved highly successful in engaging users. Over two-thirds (65%) of the players who completed the cycling race proceeded to the second game, Spin the Wheel. Of those who reached the registration page for Spin the Wheel, an impressive 90% completed the registration and played the game. Both games together had an average completion rate of 99%,reflecting a high level of user engagement. In terms of prizes, 70% of the available rewards were distributed through the campaign, with a redemption rate of 25%, indicating strong user interaction. Additionally, the Spin the Wheel game had a return rate of 3.7, meaning users returned multiple times to participate over the whole campaign period. Players collectively engaged with both games, showcasing the campaign’s effectiveness in capturing and maintaining customer attention.

In an A/B test, we displayed a Gamification banner to half of our website visitors, while the other half saw no banner. The group with the Gamification banner achieved an 18% higher sales conversion compared to the group without it. This was an outstanding result for us, as only very few tools or methods can boost sales conversion by 18%
