The objective
To motivate the interest to the spring loyalty campaign in the retail chain «Lenta». When buying goods for a certain amount of money in a cheque, the purchaser of the retail chain «Lenta» was given a grow kit, one of 16 types of seeds.
The solution
To develop a mobile application (iOS, android) in support of the main campaign in the stores, complementing it by the digital component. The main functions of the mobile application are:
- Growing a virtual sunflower (Tamagotchi mechanics). An opportunity of its customisation and metamorphosis, as well as its viewing in augmented reality.
- Gathering a virtual seeds collection.
- Mini-game.
- Scanning of special labels in stores.
- A leaderboard with a challenge and real awards for the first 100 places in the ranking.
The result
Within three months the application with gamification and augmented reality AR elements was developed. There were about a hundred variants of the sunflower customisation integrated, including backgrounds, accessories and colourings, pots shapes for various levels of development.
