Announcing Badges!

This whole gamification thing as been a hit so the PunchTab team decided we would build out some badges for publishers who wanted to offer social rewards and achievements with badges

We ran a private beta trail of the new badging system and we’re really excited about the results. And now, we’re even more excited to let you know badges are now generally available!

The Urban Shogun, an early PunchTab adopter, is a blog for tech enthusiasts, leveraging all that PunchTab has to offer to increase readership and overall engagement. Their users can earn and unlock badges for visiting, commenting and social sharing and readers can earn points for the same and redeem for cool prizes with a loyalty program.

“Increasing content distribution across social channels is how we drive traffic and boost our reach, by adding PunchTab’s loyalty program, running PunchTab powered Giveaways, and by offering PunchTab badges, we quickly and easily lifted our Facebook and Twitter presence,reaching the networks of our loyal users with zero engineering resources or spend.” -Edwin Khoo, Editor-in-Chief, The Urban Shogun

By adding PunchTab’s badges to your website, blog or ecommerce site you’ll increase social sharing and overall engagement by getting your users to compete for status and social rewards

The results speak for themselves. Users who have added badges are seeing:

  • 100% increase in repeat visitors
  • 50% increase in fans and followers
  • 15% increase in social sharing

Login to your dashboard today and add badges to your site! Since launching last week, 7,000 badges have already been awarded. Get your users in the game!

    I still really don’t understand the badge – does the visiter earn an actual gift for getting the badges
