Today we're going back in time....

The year...2011.

One of the most popular apps on your phone was this fancy little location tech program called Foursquare. And if you remember it, you'll recall how addicting it was...

Part of it's allure was the fact that you got 'badges' for checking into certain places in your town / city. And the more you checked in, the more status you got....The fight for being king of the badge!

*We were hooked!*

And right around then, ClickTrackProfit was getting it's legs and we thought it would be a perfect fit to bring that same 'badge hunt' element to the online world. 

And the CTP badges were born!

Our badges allowed program and website owners to host their own 'badges' in an effort for attract their members to take specific actions every day and keep them engaged.

You could give and award badges for:

- Logging into the site everyday
- Subscribing to a mailing list
- Purchasing an upgrade / product
- Reward loyal members
- Create badge hunts and stick badges in your website for members to find

As a marketer, the possibilities were endless. And the tradition has continued with ClickTrackProfit v2.0!

We have since introduced the hosted Badge Hunts as well as the Mastery programs, where savvy business owners can set up complete badge / reward integration within their sites.

But the question has been asked....

### Why do badges and digital rewards matter?
<p><br>
Terms like gamification are thrown around a lot and I'm sure people have their own definition to what it is....Here's why we believe gamification is important for our community.

We believe gamification is the technique of sticking a '*reward*' or game on top of something that already exists. So in CTP's case, our training and education is what already exists....And we want to reward people for completing tasks and get members into the habits of logging in everyday and continuing to learn and grow.

**Badges allow us to do that!**

And for our badge partners the same use case exists as well...

Your product or service already 'exists', so by using and leveraging CTP Badges and Mastery, you are rewarding actions so that your members can form good habits when it comes to your business or website as well.

Digital rewards are extremely powerful because your members feel a sense of accomplishment. They are rewarded for their hard work, and these badges acknowledge that! 

This is why gamification with badges and digital rewards work!

We reward an activity that members are already doing, while encouraging them to continue on their journey!

**Win-win!**

And with that being said...We would LOVE to partner with you and reward your members with unique CTP badges, custom built for your business or website!
