Microsite Games

Why do marketers use microsite games?

A microsite game is an essential tool for every online marketing campaign. Whether your goal is brand awareness, audience building, lead generation, or customer loyalty, having a microsite game will place your brand at the center of conversation.

Designed with a responsive mindset, a microsite game loads seamlessly on your smartphone browser, tablet browser, or desktop browser. The games deployed are typically short, fun and highly engaging.

Microsite games also have a definitive URL, which makes it easily sharable via social media, email campaigns, chatrooms, conferencing software, and literally any other web-based medium.

Brands use microsite games for these benefits

1. Capture more foot traffic.
2. Educate potential customers about the brand's products and services.
3. Integrate giveaways such as discounts and other small prizes to encourage on-site sales.
4. Generate leads from prospects.
5. Build brand loyalty.
6. Have an edge over other competitors (i.e to stand out from the crowd).

Case Study - Parking Puzzle Game For Toyota

We built a fun puzzle game for a Toyota dealership branded game in North America.

Using our game Car Park Puzzle as the starting template, we changed the cars into Toyota branded cars. Players tap and drag on the touchscreen to move the cars. The objective is to clear a path for the red Toyota car, to drive out of the parking lot (hence, helping the prospect visualize the act of buying a car and driving it out of the dealership lot).

To ensure we don't miss any potential prospects, we added a leadgen form powered by our cloud leadgen system. This allows the client's sales team to followup with prospects that they weren't able to strike up conversations with during peak hours.

Can you implement a leaderboard for high scores?

Yes. We have a cloud based leaderboard solution, that we can implement into every game on MarketJS. The leaderboard can be shown within the game, or provided as a separate leaderboard link that you can plug into specific sections of the event.

Rank users based on their high score achievement. There's also the ability to reset the leaderboard at pre-determined times.

The data collected will be available via our backend CMS. Clients get access to view and export the data into Excel format as well.

Alternatively, we can also provide a simple API for your engineers to pull the data.

How do I generate leads with microsite games?

There are a few solutions. The most common method is to add a registration form at the start of the experience. The data is then submitted to our cloud leadgen system for processing. Other methods include moving the form to the end of the game, or triggering it at specific events in the game.

Depending on what data you wish to collect, we can change the leadgen form fields to collect information such as name, email, phone numbers and occupation. It can also be a mini survey format.

We can also submit data directly to your own CRM systems, such as:

1. Hubspot
