Dynamic creation of user segments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The users segments<\/a> feature allows you to tag participants in a promotion to create groups of users<\/strong>. Segmentation allows you to apply conditions to a specific group of users. E.g., restrict the participation to one game or stage to a specific segment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The possibility of creating segments automatically from a drop-down menu in the registration form<\/b> is a powerful and little known feature. A direct application of this feature could look like this: Imagine a supermarket chain with several stores. In the registration form, users would choose the store where they usually shop from a drop-down menu. When a user selects X store, the system will assign the user to the X segment. Consequently, the system will only allow the user to participate in the stage assigned to X store. The same system can be applied to contests with defined age groups. When users choose an age group from the drop-down menu, they will only be allowed to participate in the stages assigned to their age group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Validation using Luhn Algorithm<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Luhn Algorithm, aka mod 10 algorithm, is used to validate identification numbers<\/strong> in, for instance, credit card numbers. At Easypromos, we have implemented the Luhn Algorithm validation<\/a> in every field where a code is introduced. This characteristic is especially useful in the \u201cLogin\u201d screen. Making it possible for users to log in using a code<\/strong> instead of the traditional login methods. (Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, twitch, email) This code could be a loyalty program number or a VIP users club. Hence, you can create promotions where the users can log in with their membership numbers. Thus, eliminating the need to ask for any other personal information, therefore reducing friction in the login process.<\/p>\n\n\n

Coupons with a relative expiration date<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can set a relative expiration date for a set of codes<\/strong>. This means the validity period will start running the moment a code is assigned to a user. E.g., a code set can be configured to be valid for 2 hours after the moment it was assigned to a user. This tool must be used together with the Easypromos “Validation Portal” tool. Promotions offering coupons with relative expiration dates are useful to drive traffic to physical or online shops. For instance, a coffee shop could send a newsletter with a Spin the Wheel promotion offering discounts to attract customers to the establishment during the low traffic hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unblocking stages with a code<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

All the Easypromos games and promotions offer the possibility to limit access to only those users who have a specific code<\/strong>. Starting from this base concept, you can build Multi-Stage promotions with blocked stages<\/a>. A good example would be designing a digital \u201cEscape Room\u201d using a multi-stage promotion. Only the users who successfully solve the first stage would be able to get the code to access the second stage. One more advanced example would be combining games with Instant Win promotions. For instance, you create a Word Search game where users who score more than 100 points would gain access to a prize roulette with \u201csilver\u201d prizes; whereas users that score more than 200 points would gain access to a prize roulette with \u201cgold\u201d prizes.<\/p>\n\n\n

Instant Win prizes determined by the amount of a purchase receipt<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In promotions that require uploading a purchase receipt to participate, it is possible to assign prizes depending on the amount of the purchase<\/strong>. As an example, a shop could offer prizes proportional to the amount spent by each customer. With Easypromos, you can configure discounts as prizes to every customer that participates and condition the amount of the discount<\/a> to the purchase amount in the receipt. Say there are 15%, 25%, and 50%. You could assign the discounts according to the following range:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
