Store Discounts for Being Green
One of our major features we’ve always had in mind is monetized incentives for using the app and being green. While we have thrown around different ways of getting these incentives the end result is always the same thing. Users would get either coupons/discounts at the stores they shop from or coupons for the green products that they have been buying.
Leaderboards
In addition to the incentives, another feature of our app would be different types of leaderboards for how eco-friendly people are. Most people by nature are competitive in some way, so adding a section where you can see how you stack up in comparison to your friends or just other users, we hope will drive people to use the app even more. In addition to just adding a touch of competitiveness to the app it also makes it a social platform, instead of just a solo experience.
Barcode Scanning
One of the features of our app would be the ability to scan items that are deemed renewable and not wasteful. By scanning the items users would get points that could be used to receive coupons and discount type incentives that were mentioned before.
Smart Watch Function
Potentially allowing users to hook up their smartwatch to their app, showing their current score, footprint, and current coupon offers in their profile.We will also offer users the option to see when they are being surpassed by other players points wise. The watch will show the user’s name, and then tell them if they have been passed by someone on the leadership board, but user’s will have the option to turn this option on or off. By offering users the personalization that is offered in a multiplatform device, it becomes a more accessible application. If users leave a device at home, they are still able to keep track of their score, or utilize parts of the app while partaking in daily activities.
Location Services
Allowing users to set location services to show when they are near active deals or higher incentive points. For example, for a limited time if they use the app in a participating store and purchase green products, then they will receive double points and a coupon with their purchase. This can be a promotion that the store is participating in, allowing for the store to get free advertisements and the customer to get more point potential, as well as added incentive.
Fun Idea: Selfie Bonuses
With the prevalence of social media, people are always snapping pictures of their daily events. We figured why not introduce a function where taking selfies of doing environmentally friendly things can earn bonuses that help your leaderboard ranking. The user would take a selfie of them doing something good for the environment such as recycling, sharing sustainable products they use, or making better choices at the store and possibly earning bonuses to their leaderboard totals, or earning more unique prizes. The pictures and clips you may take would be featured on your profile, similar to an Instagram feed, and people can then share their environmentally friendly habits and help inspire others to stay competitive, and work towards earning more incentives!
