THE ADVERTISER EXPERIENCE
Game mechanics encourage the brand loyalty
A Safeway customer can associate their loyalty card to their Foursquare account.
The rewards are associated to user behavior, irrespective of in-store check-ins.
Therefore, checking in on Foursquare anywhere and earning certain badges can now earn a Pepsi product, redeemable at a Safeway store.
