The right format

One brand. Many ways
to activate people.

What should your promotion achieve? A spontaneous moment of play, the chance to win a special prize or a reason to buy again? DiALOGiFY’s standard mechanics offer different entry points. Your brand world, prizes and content give the campaign its own character.

01 · INSTANT WIN

Play. Feel the excitement.
See the result.

Spin a prize wheel or reveal a digital scratch card: after qualifying to participate, consumers see straight away whether they have won.

Prize wheel · Scratch card · Instant win
02 · PRIZE DRAW

Take part and hope
to win the top prize.

An attractive prize gives people a reason to participate. A short dialogue, a quiz or a defined task can lead to the prize draw.

03 · COLLECTION PROMOTION

Get closer to the goal.

Further qualifying purchases build points or progress. Milestones lead to a reward or the chance to win a top prize.

Activation within the overall system

What role does
your activation play?

Create purchase incentives, understand buyers, offer direct value or encourage repeat purchases: solutions fulfil different roles in the Customer Momentum System. The overview positions Consumer Promotions alongside Instant Cashback and Win Cashback. The focus varies with the objective.

Collection promotions

A clear reason
to buy again.

In a collection promotion, the next purchase is part of the story. Consumers see where they stand, which goal they can reach and what counts towards the next step.

Make progress visible

An understandable collection goal, a clear points balance and relevant milestones provide guidance.

Include further purchases

Another qualifying purchase with a new code or suitable proof moves the journey forward. A repeat website visit alone does not count.

Remind at the right moment

With the appropriate permission, a follow-up prompt builds on progress so far and reminds participants of the next stage.

Direct consumer dialogue

Participation creates contact.
Dialogue provides context.

Why was the product bought? When, where and with whom is it used, on what occasion and for what purpose? A few relevant questions connect purchase motives with consumption moments, needs and possible alternatives. After use, a relevant follow-up contact can gather product experience and feedback.

Marketing sign-up and further communication remain separate, voluntary choices with the appropriate permission.

Purchase motives & context

What tipped the balance: the promotion, a product feature or a particular occasion? Answers show how participants describe their purchase.

Consumption moments & needs

When, where and with whom is the product used? What occasion and need does it suit – for example, on the go, during a break or together at home?

Substitutes & alternatives

What else would participants have chosen or done? Another brand, a different product or another solution for the same moment? This reveals the alternatives they mention and possible decision criteria.

After the promotion

What happens after the game?

The promotion opens direct contact. With the appropriate voluntary permission, further prompts can build on answers, product experience or collection progress. NudgeFlows define the content and sequence of these contacts; WhatsApp is one possible channel for continuing the dialogue.

Content, occasion & sequence

NudgeFlows: a relevant next prompt.

A product tip for a reported consumption moment, a question after use or a reminder of the next collection step: follow-up contacts build on the dialogue so far. Content, occasion and sequence are defined for your campaign.

In the Customer Momentum System

Proven mechanics.
One connected system.

Consumer Promotions use existing DiALOGiFY software for activation, dialogue and measurement. Mechanics, branding and participation conditions are configured for your campaign. Buyer responses provide Buyer Signals; relevant follow-up contacts can build on them. DiALOGiFY supports setup and operation.

Frequently asked questions

Good to know.

How does a consumer promotion differ from cashback?

Instant Cashback centres on a guaranteed cashback amount; Win Cashback offers the chance to win cashback. Consumer Promotions create a distinct game, prize or collection experience around the brand.

Can we combine several mechanics?

Yes. For example, a digital scratch card with a final prize draw, or a collection journey with quizzes and badges. A clear participation promise must guide the entire campaign.

Is a receipt required?

That depends on the participation and verification model. Unique product codes or suitable proof of purchase can verify access and further purchases. We define the right solution during concept development.

Can we use our own design?

Yes. Your brand world, product images and campaign artwork define the appearance. Stickers, mobile views and game mechanics are designed as one connected journey.

Can the promotion record repeat purchases?

If repeat purchases are recorded using suitable codes or receipts and attributed to a person, they can be analysed. Playing again or self-reporting alone is not treated as proof of purchase.
