ABSTRACT
How do you drive up user engagement?
What game-like design patterns get your users to complete the sign-up, bring friends and come back?
This session will expose the design patterns of engagement and incentives, including relevant metrics.
You will leave with an arsenal of 16 design patterns to:
- design effective sign-up sessions and tutorials
- promote virality
- invite return visits
- apply game mechanics beyond points and bagdes.
