There is no rule on how to use mini games in your email marketing, but the simpler it is, the less it costs. Giving the user the task of creating a path from A to B is enough to maintain an interaction lasting more than 30 seconds. Much more than 8, right?

The sky is the limit

Be unique now, not later

The implementation of mini games in emails has already been proven successful. Many companies are still afraid to try because they know that the production price is a little higher. However, the 400% conversion rate makes the return on investment (ROI) positive compared to traditional strategies.

But do you know why this strategy works? Because it’s different. When all companies discover the results and start implementing this strategy, it will no longer be special and will become more of the same.

The question to ask is: When? Now when will you be seen as unique and innovative or when everyone is doing it and you need to copy to follow?
