How to apply the Potion
1
Connect the rating with the main indicator of users' activity.
Implement a specific indicator for each service. For an online retail store, it will be the number of purchases and reviews. For learning platforms — the number of points earned during the learning process. For taxi service — the number of specific rides, and so on. The rating should indicate the key indicator of your users' engagement in the service.
2
Set up a rating page
Set up a specific section on the website, in the app, or a pop-up screen. The rating should indicate the user's position among others. It is advisable to specify the number in the ranking only for the first 10 to 30 participants. You may indicate in what percentage of the best other users have got into. This way, the system will not demotivate or upset its users. Brightly design the rating page using positive icons and images.
3
Motivate users to increase their rating
Notify users of the rating system and the ability to increase it regularly. Create a section with tips and tricks to help users increase their ranking. Use all of the suitable promotion channels: newsletters, push notifications, and messages from chatbots.
