User Incentivization Design
The User Journey
Our design strategy focused on creating a clear value proposition for users to enable passive data collection. The following sequence demonstrates how we implemented the 30% bonus incentive system to encourage permission activation.
1. Initial Home Screen
The standard home screen displays available surveys and the user's current points. Users can see their progress but aren't yet aware of the bonus opportunity.
2. Permission Incentives
A dedicated permissions screen clearly communicates the value proposition: enable all permissions to receive a 30% bonus on all surveys. Each permission is explained with its individual point reward.
3. Bonus Activation Success
Upon enabling all permissions, users receive immediate positive reinforcement with a congratulatory message confirming their 30% bonus on all future surveys, creating a sense of achievement.
Design Principles Applied
Clear Value Communication
Explicitly showing the 30% bonus and individual permission rewards
Positive Reinforcement
Congratulatory messaging and visual confirmation of success
Transparency
Clear explanation of each permission's purpose
Immediate Gratification
Instant confirmation of bonus activation
Results of Design Implementation
This incentive-based design approach directly contributed to the 77% increase in data permission activation rates. By clearly communicating value and providing immediate rewards, users were significantly more likely to enable passive data collection features.
The visual design changes resulted in a 35% increase in Day 1 retention as users engaged more deeply with the enhanced rewards system.
