Fashion marketing has always faced unique challenges. Brands must <\/span>constantly adapt to new trends, <\/b>including consumer trends. It has also become increasingly complex to identify the marketing messages and channels that can most effectively target existing customers and potential new markets. <\/span><\/p>\n Gamification – incorporating game-based elements into your marketing strategy – is proving to be<\/span> one of the most effective ways of meeting today’s challenges<\/b>. It’s an excellent way of facilitating interaction with consumers who are increasingly demanding authenticity. But gamifying your shopping experience, both online and offline, is also a way of updating your branding and modernising your brand image. <\/span><\/p>\n In this article, we’ll be looking at<\/span> how fashion marketing can successfully update itself<\/b> through gamification. We’ll look in detail at the different stages of the customer journey that can benefit from the introduction of game mechanics to help brands achieve their objectives. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#F2F2F2″ custom_margin=”||40px||false|false” border_radii=”on|10px|10px|10px|10px” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”20px|30px|20px|30px|true|true” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n SUMMARY<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row module_id=”section-1″ _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text module_id=”sommaire-1″ _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|700|||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”25px” header_font_size=”25px” header_line_height=”1.3em” header_2_font=”Montserrat|700|||||||” header_2_font_size=”25px” header_2_line_height=”1.3em” custom_margin=”||30px||false|false” link_option_url=”#sommaire-1″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”16px” custom_margin=”||40px||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n The buying behaviour of fashion consumers has changed enormously in recent years. In particular, they have <\/span>been transformed by the arrival of e-commerce<\/b>, but also by the pandemic.<\/span> <\/p>\n New players have also entered the fashion market. Those known as <\/span>DNVBs<\/span><\/b><\/a> (Digital Native Vertical Brands<\/b><\/i>) <\/b>have rapidly competed with the more established brands, creating from the outset a strong connection, particularly online, with a highly engaged community of customers.<\/span> <\/p>\n The channels through which consumers discover fashion are no longer the same. <\/span>Yet fashion marketing has had to adapt to digital, <\/b>and social networks in particular. Luxury brands, for example, have undergone a major change in their branding and communication codes by moving onto media such as TikTok. <\/span><\/p>\n The rise of young Gen Z consumers<\/b> has also dramatically reshuffled the deck. Fashion marketing that relied on inaccessible muses has given way <\/span>to influencers<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a> and UGC (<\/span>User Generated Content<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>), and therefore to more authentic communication and less retouched visuals.<\/span> <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” header_3_font=”Montserrat|600|||||||” header_3_text_color=”#0092ff” header_3_line_height=”1.5em” custom_margin=”30px||30px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”16px” custom_margin=”||40px||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n The values of <\/span>inclusiveness, transparency and sustainability<\/b> are now central to standing out from the crowd and winning the loyalty of consumers (particularly younger ones). Fashion brands therefore need to review not only their production chain, but also their product range (by including unisex clothing and accessories, for example) and the values they stand for. <\/span><\/p>\n Finally, the explosion of online shopping also poses challenges for fashion marketing.<\/span> The introduction of an omnichannel customer journey<\/b>, which can start in-store (for consideration), continue online (for purchase) and return to retail (for returns management) also involves a change in marketing paradigm.<\/span> <\/p>\n Brands therefore need<\/span> to open up to more fluid<\/b>, <\/i><\/span>test-and-learn marketing strategies in order to adapt to all these upheavals.<\/span> The issue of data<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a> and knowledge of their audience will also be decisive in adopting a positioning and offering that is aligned with their customers’ expectations.<\/span> <\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row module_id=”section-2″ _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text module_id=”sommaire-2″ _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|700|||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”25px” header_2_font=”Montserrat|700|||||||” header_2_font_size=”25px” header_2_line_height=”1.3em” custom_margin=”||30px||false|false” link_option_url=”#sommaire-1″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”16px” custom_margin=”||20px||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Gamified marketing is a strategy that involves<\/span> using games to strengthen the conversion funnel<\/b>. Integrating interactive and playful elements into the customer journey is a way of arousing consumer interest, effectively conveying brand values and encouraging users to move from consideration to purchase.<\/span> <\/p>\n In a demanding sector like fashion, gamification can provide<\/span> a competitive advantage that will prove crucial <\/b>in standing out from the crowd and encouraging consumers to buy from your brand.<\/span> <\/p>\n Easy to integrate into every stage of the sales funnel,<\/span> playable marketing<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/a> addresses<\/b> a number of issues specific to fashion marketing.<\/span> <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” header_3_font=”Montserrat|600|||||||” header_3_text_color=”#0092ff” header_3_line_height=”1.5em” custom_margin=”30px||30px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”16px” min_height=”407.9px” custom_margin=”||20px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n In a sector undergoing rapid transformation and faced with a multiplication of communication channels, the main challenge for fashion brands is to <\/span>successfully update their branding<\/b> to attract an increasingly demanding clientele.<\/span> <\/p>\n Luxury brands in particular have understood the appeal of gamification<\/span> as a way of rebranding themselves to a younger audience<\/b>.. Elles ont par exemple puis\u00e9 dans de nouveaux outils comme la m\u00e9taverse ou les NFT pour s\u00e9duire les jeunes consommateurs (et m\u00eame plus directement les amateurs de gaming). <\/span><\/p>\n Some have offered<\/span> digital versions of their most iconic pieces<\/b> to dress up your video game avatar. Another interesting user case is the fashion shows organised in the metaverse, which have democratised events that were previously considered elitist. As a result, brands have been able to significantly increase the reach and visibility of their catwalk shows. <\/span><\/p>\n Without using such advanced technologies, brands can reinforce their branding with more low-fi gamification mechanisms such as a <\/span>wheel of fortune<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>. C\u2019est le choix qu\u2019a fait Kiabi. La marque de mode a lanc\u00e9 une op\u00e9ration ultra engageante d\u00e9di\u00e9e \u00e0 la mise en avant de son offre de seconde main, lanc\u00e9e en 2020.

On the contrary, it can be <\/span> an excellent way of reinforcing a sense of belonging<\/b> to an exclusive community. Kenzo, for example, gave a limited number of its most loyal customers <\/span>\u2019acc\u00e9der \u00e0 son propre jeu<\/span><\/span><\/a>.<\/span> Les utilisateurs devaient ensuite vaincre leurs adversaires pour esp\u00e9rer remporter 100 paires exclusives de sneakers Sonic. <\/span> <\/p>\n Tape \u00e0 l’Oeil, for its part, relied on playable marketing to<\/span> attract new customers<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/a>. <\/span><\/b>For its anniversary, it set up<\/span> a Wheel of Chance<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a> 100% winning in France and Belgium.

This is what Balenciaga has done, for example, by forming a<\/span> partnership with the game Afterworld: The Age of Tomorrow<\/span><\/span><\/a>.<\/span> <\/p>\n The interactive format<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a> offered by gamification allows users to<\/span> discover clothes in a much more immersive context<\/b>. In this case, they could navigate in a virtual reality with characters dressed from head to toe in the new collection.<\/span> <\/p>\n The BZB brand also relied on playable marketing, via<\/span> the Flip & Win mechanism<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>, to<\/span> launch its summer collection<\/b> and generate new leads.<\/span> <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.adictiz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Marketing-de-la-mode.webp” alt=”Fashion marketing” title_text=”Fashion-marketing” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” width=”77%” custom_margin=”36px||53px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” header_3_font=”Montserrat|600|||||||” header_3_text_color=”#0092ff” header_3_line_height=”1.5em” custom_margin=”30px||30px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”16px” min_height=”49.4px” custom_margin=”||20px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Reward systems specific to video games can also be powerful conversion levers.
