How success is measured

KPIs are agreed on day one and measured through your existing data — POS, footfall counters, CRM and social listening — reported against a pre-campaign baseline.

Expected behavioural change

The mechanic interrupts the customer's default choice at the point of decision, creating a clear reason to act now rather than continue with the incumbent option.

Examples of commercial value

Measurable movement on the primary KPI
First-party data captured for future activation
Prize exposure fixed via coverage — cost known on day one
