Method and System for Social Gamification of Commercial Offers

A computer based system for social gamification of offers, comprising:

• a first user interface located or accessible on an internet connected device, the user interface being configured to create a digital offer post including a visual or a textual description, a consumer incentive, a gamification rule for user interactions with the digital offer post, a computable threshold condition for locking the digital offer post, a purchasing instruction and a web application programming interface for posting the digital offer post to a network application server, user selected electronic networks and communication systems;
• a second user interface located or accessible on an internet connected device, the second user interface being configured to display the digital offer post created with the first user interface including interactive user controls and a web application programming interface to transmit user interactions to the network applications server or to share the digital offer post with other users via the user selected electronic networks and communication systems;
• the network application server further configured to receive the digital offer post from the first user interface and to initiate a counter for computing statistics on the user interactions with the digital offer post;
• the network application server further configured to receive user interactions from the second user interface, to compute statistics on the user interactions, to evaluate the computable threshold condition, to unlock the digital offer post that satisfies the computable threshold condition, to generate the purchasing instruction to be displayed on the second user interface and to close the digital offer post;
• a database, said database being configured to store the digital offer posts and the user interactions with digital offer posts;
• the network application server further configured to query and retrieve data from the database;
• the network application server further configured to push data and statistics retrieved by the query to be displayed on the first user interface and on the second user interface;
• and
• the network application server further configured to push notifications to the users about the status of the digital offer post to be displayed on the first user interface and on the second user interface.

A computer program product embodied in non-transitory computer-readable media carrying executable code, which code when executed:

• produces a digital offer post having a visual or a textual description, an incentive, a gamification rule for user interactions and a lock condition based on computable user interactions;
• distributes the locked digital offer post to user selected electronic networks and communication systems;
• stores tracking data on the ways in which different users interact with the digital offer post over time;
• computes user interaction statistics from the said tracking data to evaluate the lock condition;
• pushes the user interactions statistics to users in real time;
• unlocks the digital offer post when the lock condition is satisfied;
• generates purchasing instructions, and
• closes the digital offer post.
