Springer Fachmedien is a leading specialist media company, part of the prestigious Springer Science+Business Media group, known for its extensive scientific, technological, and medical publications. It is highly respected for delivering authoritative content to professional and academic audiences.
One of its notable publications, Verkehrsrundschau magazine, focuses on the transport and logistics sector, offering comprehensive coverage of the latest trends, developments, and innovations in the industry.
Springer Fachmedien was confronted with the challenge of summer slowdowns within several of their audiences. The logistics sector, an important target group of their “Verkehrsrundschau” magazine, is an industry that traditionally faces less business during the summer months. This seasonal deceleration notably affected the number of sold magazines and a dip in website traffic.
To navigate through this seasonal decrease in activity from the logistics sector, Springer Fachmedien aimed to revitalize their promotional strategy, focusing on bringing a refreshing and interactive experience to their audience.
In essence, Springer Fachmedien desired to promote their diverse publications in a manner that is more engaging and less sales-driven, seeking innovative solutions that could seamlessly blend promotional content with interactive user experience.
They wanted to present their content in a way that resonates with readers and maintains a sustained level of interest, thus turning the seasonal challenge into an opportunity for increased engagement and connectivity all year round.
To counteract the seasonal downturn and to foster a more profound engagement with their audience, Springer Fachmedien adopted the concept of Gamification, introducing a novel and interactive flair into their marketing efforts.
The company launched a gamified Memory, a universally recognized game, adding a touch of nostalgia and providing a delightful break for players. This playful approach aimed not only to increase user interaction, but also to create a lively and engaging environment that stands out from the traditional promotional content, bringing a refreshing change to the audience.
To incentivize participation and sustain interest in the campaign, Springer Fachmedien offered enticing prizes, rewarding players with €50 vouchers that could be redeemed at over 500 diverse online shops.
This strategy of offering existing and potential customers enjoyment and rewards was designed to boost the attractiveness of the campaign, allowing participants to experience the brand Springer Fachmedien in an enjoyable manner rather than feeling as if they were pushed to buy something.
The gamified campaign created by Springer Fachmedien was welcomed with extensive positive feedback and notable participant interaction, confirming the innovative approach’s effectiveness. The campaign attracted nearly 7,500 visitors and generated over 3,500 unique leads, proving its extensive reach and appeal.
Furthermore, the Memory game recorded a remarkable double opt-in verification rate of over 82%, clearly exceeding expectations and substantially fulfilling Springer Fachmedien’s main goal of increasing their number of newsletter subscriptions.
Springer Fachmedien experienced firsthand the profound impact of Gamification Marketing on enhancing customer interactions and journeys. Gamification Marketing added a refreshing and engaging element to promotional activities and allowed Springer Fachmedien to acquire high-quality newsletter subscribers.
The success of this campaign demonstrated that integrating enjoyable and interactive elements can be a pivotal strategy in establishing a deeper connection with the audience and achieving marketing objectives with increased efficiency and positive customer resonance.
