Built-in Communication

Keep your users updated

One of the most important aspects of running any of our exercise challenges is keeping your audience engaged. Big Team Challenge tries to automate this as much as possible by using interesting milestones in our routes, with beautifully chosen photography and interesting facts about the place your participants are visiting (even if it is only virtually!). We also like to encourage users by giving out achievements when they reach key goals such as "walk 100 miles" or "use the system for 5 days in a row".

However, when it comes down to true engagement, nothing beats simply staying in touch with your users and giving them some encouragement.

Posting updates in the system

From your admin area you are able to access a feature called "updates". This system allows you to construct challenge updates to post out to your participants. Our content editor allows you to add text, links and images to your updates. You can also choose whether it sends the message internally in the challenge (the users all have their own little inbox within the system) or you can choose to send it directly to their email address or via push notification. Or all three if you really want!

You can see how to send out updates here.

Increase engagement

Posting regular updates, as often as twice a week, has shown to keep users interested in the challenge and helped build connections between employers and their workforce.
