The Challenge
The Christmas season is the most profitable time of the year for Käthe Wohlfahrt. To make the most of this business-critical period, the company faced the challenge of generating targeted attention in the pre-Christmas season and reaching potential customers early. The goal was to increase online traffic before the holiday shopping season, boost customer return rates, and sustainably maximize revenue.
The Solution

Customers could win prizes such as €5 vouchers, a limited-edition Christmas scent, a 3D puzzle, and a snowman portrait star. This initiative targeted both regular visitors and tourists, aiming to convert them into repeat customers. The game was promoted primarily in physical stores, where it successfully increased engagement, generated leads, and boosted newsletter signups, enhancing overall customer engagement and return rates.

The “Spin the Wheel” campaign by Käthe Wohlfahrt, from July 1st, 2023, to March 31st, 2024, achieved significant engagement and lead generation. The game reached a 98% completion rate, indicating high user involvement. Of the unique visitors, 47% onverted into leads, and 17% of these leadscompleted the double opt-in process, confirming their newsletter subscription. Users spent an average of 28 seconds engaging with the game. These results demonstrate the campaign’s effectiveness in driving user interaction and lead acquisition.

TSG Hoffenheim
TSG Hoffenheim is a renowned German football club with a loyal fan base. However, the most devoted fans, the season ticket holders, felt disadvantaged compared to new customers and event fans who received more attention with promotions, contests, and small gifts. The football club wanted to change this by creating a quiz specifically for the season ticket holders.

Through Gamification, we reach customers on a different level and can surprise, inspire, and reward them. We are seeing an increase in frequency and revenue as well as enhanced engagement from users of our digital channels.
I can highly recommend BRAME's Gamification tool to anyone looking for a cost-effective and simple solution to collect email addresses or increase sales
The real-time performance analytics are very important to us, as they allow us to take our learnings and refine our strategy for upcoming campaigns.
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%
With BRAME’s user-friendly software, we have been able to successfully implement a variety of campaigns and now see Gamification Marketing as a key component in our marketing mix.
What I appreciate most about working with BRAME is the drag-and-drop Gamification Builder, which made it easy for us to implement Gamification Marketing, along with the expert advice and support based on industry-specific best practices. This enabled us to launch a successful Gamification campaign and implement game mechanics perfectly suited to our industry and goals.
All the games have worked well so far. The Advent calendar is a yearly highlight, and customers are already anticipating it. The cost is much lower compared to the agencies MPREIS previously used to create a gamified Advent calendar.
In the last 20 months, we’ve collected over 35,000 unique leads and achieved a double opt-in rate of over 70%, which is more than double the industry average.
We had previously worked with agencies in the Gamification field, but with BRAME, we’ve become much more flexible. [...] We need much less time to set up campaigns, have excellent support that we can rely on, and are incredibly fast in execution.
The drag-and-drop functionality allows for quick game creation without technical expertise, which is especially valuable for day-to-day operations and to save time.
The diverse selection of game types and fully customizable templates provided by BRAME's tool allow us to create new experiences every time.
Users were motivated to repeatedly participate in games through gamified marketing campaigns, increasing the digital engagement and driving more frequent purchases.
Through our gamified campaigns with BRAME, we were able to generate numerous new app downloads and welcome new SPAR Friends members to our community. BRAME has made a lasting impression on us, and we are looking forward to various other campaigns.
During the European Championship, the Hit-the-Target Gamification Marketing mechanic increased sales conversions by 44% between June and July compared to January to May 2024. Additionally, the average card size grew by 11%, and transactions increased by 21% during the same period.
