Making Life More Fun

December 4th, 2012 | Posted by Chris Klingler in Gaming | Yipiii - (0 Comments)

Describe your daily routine.  It’s probably something along the lines of wake up, get ready for work, go to work, come home – do some shopping along the way, clean & cook, and finally you can relax for the evening before your day starts over again. If you have kids, you routine is probably going to be even busier and you are likely to have even less free-time to do the things you want to do.

So here’s an idea.  Instead of fighting over the limited time that is available in the hopes of increasing it for the things you want to do, why not make the things you NEED to do also the things you WANT to do.  Why not take the same everyday chores and make them fun, so that they are not chores any more, but rather they have now become your hobbies, some fun down time.  Could this really be done?

This is the entire philosophy of ‘Gamification’.  The idea here is to take every day routine tasks and make them into a game.  Make them fun.  Make them motivating and interesting and engaging and something that you would want to do rather than something you need to do.

Some examples of these include using a speed-camera to draw a lotto winner from within the drivers who drove safely through the areas to win the fines collected from speeders who did not, or creating a recycling bin that give you points for recycling the right type of bottle in a random sequence it gives you, or turning a normal staircse into a piano to encourage going up and down the stairs while playing a tune, and so on and so forth.  The ideas are literally endless.  Every aspect of your life can be made more fun.

In ecommerce this has also been tried.  Companies like Zynga create simple games that allow you to buy extra points or possibilities – you’ve probably seen or even played them on facebook – but they do not free up more time to make your actual tasks any more fun.  Other companies try to get you to compete for products against each other.  But we do not like that very much either because we want everyone to be a winner through cooperation and mutual benefit.

So what is it that we can offer and just how are we Oh-So-Very-Different from everything else that is out there?

Well, we make your actual everyday shopping into a game.  Yes.  We want you to PLAY for your shopping and see if you can win it before you buy it.  There is no risk and the activity you have to do – one of the most essential parts of your everyday life routines – has now becomes fun.

What do you do?

  1. Register with Yipiii.
  2. Add our Winit App link to your toolbar.
  3. And head off shopping.

How does it work?

So let’s say you search through any of our supported online stores and find a brand new camera that you want to buy for Christmas.  Before you buy it, click on the link you just saved and this will open up the Winit Game App in a small window on top of the page you are viewing.  Now simply login and spin the wheel.

Every time you play you have a chance to win your shopping, but you also have a chance to win more plays and other perks.  In addition, we also offer you the same product with a discount on if you buy it with us.  And, every time you play, every time you spin that wheel, you also increase your discount balance – that is the amount of money on your account that you can use for any of the discounts on offer.   You can use these accumulated discounts on any product you want to buy – even if it is not the product you just played for.

Another things to note is that your discount balance will increase for each and every play – and it does not matter if you win your shopping or not, if you are playing with a free gift play or your own money.  It all gets counted towards your discounts that you can use to buy your shopping.  And if you want to save these discounts for later, that is ok too.  And if you want to withdraw your money from your Yipiii discount account – that is fine too.  So by playing, you can (and often do) end up with more money than when you started with, but what you can’t do – what will not happen – is you will not lose your money even if you do not win your shipping, because, as we already said, it just goes into your discount balance.

So we encourage you to give us a try.  We challenge you to have some fun.  And we offer you more out of this than you will ever put in.   Enjoy!

So what is a ‘Winmarket’!?

November 8th, 2012 | Posted by Chris Klingler in Yipiii - (0 Comments)

A Winmarket is a market place where everyone in it wins.  Here at Yipiii, we are very proud of this idea because instead of people fighting over who gets one over the other, we strive to use the situation more effectively so that everyone can benefit.  Win-Win-Win.  We all gain.

So how does it work?

In almost all cases what we have are people who want to buy staff – i.e.: You, the consumer – and people who want to sell staff – i.e. the retailer or seller.  But there are a few problems along the way.  Customers what a better service while sellers what more loyalty.  Customers want better value while the sellers want to attract more customers.

And this is where we step in.  What we do is offer a fun way to access your shopping.  We offer the customer a game where they can play for their shopping.  The customer gets a better experience – i.e. has more fun and so we hope will come back to play again – because it is fun.  So you win. Your shopping experience is improved.

But meanwhile the seller gets the customer staying with them and maybe buying more through them – so the seller benefits from extra sales.  So they win too.

But we’re not done yet.  For making shopping more entertaining and sending or keeping you with the retailer, the retailer offers us a commission on everything you buy from them.  This is not different than is already done with Google or Amazon, every time you send customers their way or they send customers to you  But the difference here – what we offer as a completely new idea – is that we share this commission with you in the games we offer.

Basically, we use this commission to offer you a chance to win the products you are playing for – whether it was something you were planning on buying anyway or something you wanted to buy but thought you would not afford this time round.  And since we finance this with the money from the commission we get, it does not cost you any extra.  You risk nothing.  If you do not win, simply buy whatever it is you want to buy anyway – even if it is not what you were playing for.  But at the same time, you could also win your shopping and save yourself loads of money or get something you want but could not afford, without having to risk any losses – so you win and win again.

Now while you win, it does not cost the seller any more than it would have otherwise – so they win too.

This is why we are so proud of the Winmarket – because we realise that cooperation and mutual benefit is so much better for everyone – and this is what we would like to offer you – a chance to be part of this win-win-win ‘Winmarket’ system – where you play and have fun to win your shopping risk free.  It really is a no brainer.

A Long Overdue Apology! – But Is It Enough!?

November 7th, 2012 | Posted by Chris Klingler in Yipiii - (0 Comments)

Ladies and Gentlemen, Customers and Supporters,

The Mail on Sunday has issued an official apology for their defamatory review of Yipiii on page 3 of their yesterday print issue and amended it on their website.  So To find out what went down, here is some background information about what happened…

Being an entrepreneurial start-up company, we encounter what most entrepreneurial start-ups encounter – anonymity.  You don’t know us yet, you do not know what we offer, you do not know how safe it is, and you have no reason to trust us.  We recognise this problem, and in trying to be as transparent as we possibly can, we are 100% convinced and even proud of the fact that we have gone out of our way to give reporters a change to experience our service so they can give their honest feedback and let you – the customer – know what you might expect

It was working like a charm.  Everyone who tried it loved it.  They got the idea and what we were trying to do.  And while some had some valid critiques, over all we think that we received very good reviews from everyone and we were going from strength to strength.  Our new idea was being heard and understood – a difficult thing when you are trying to bring a new concept to light.  Even the Daily-Mail/ThisIsMoney wrote an extraordinary positive review on the 29 May 2012 titled: Spin to win before you buy: World’s first winmarket Yipiii lets you take a punt on free shopping at big name online stores.

But then, a few weeks later, The Mail on Sunday decided that they need a scandalous story.  But with no pantyless royal scandal picture and no bombs going off, surely a good sign for humanity as a whole, they decided to write something somewhat more ‘creative’, which was less fortunate for us here at Yipiii.  And since ‘play for your shopping’ just does not have that evil or insidious potential, the Mail on Sunday decided to change their honest review and go on a witch hunt instead.

Now not only was the article completely untrue, but they also called up  some of the CEO’s of some of Yipiii partner shops directly and told them they were supporting an ‘evil gambling site where nobody wins’.  Of course they hid the fact from the CEO’s and from the general public at large that Yipiii is a ‘winmarket’ and no money is ever lost.  And naturally these partner-shops, hearing these vitriol accusation became very hesitant in associating with us and pulled the plug on our association.  In all fairness, given the misinformation, we probably would have done the same… but it was still an unpleasant situation for us to be in.

Then the scandalous revelation started to unfold: aside from the 28 direct lies, erroneous facts, and blatant inaccuracies that we counted, we also found out that reporters made a headline statement of saying they ‘just won a £19 fish bowl’, when actually they had won items worth over £600 while they were doing their research and testing our site in games which they played for with the equivalent of £150 – and, of course, did not lose the money they played with either.

At this point we decided to make an official press complaint.  Mind you, this too was not without everyone under the sun telling us that we should not take on the slumbering giant and should just take the hit and let sleeping dogs lie.  But we did not feel it was a just hit.

And this is what we find so pernicious – not only is this dubious reporting and shoddy journalism, but it actually hurt you – the consumer.  Because we are trying to offer you the possibility to win your shopping everywhere – and the Mail on Sunday has literally tried to take that option away from you.

 

So what has come out of all of this?

Firstly, on Monday, 16 July 2012, Management Today did a great exposé, showing up the inept reporting by the Mail on Sunday.  The article was called: Mail on Sunday declares war on online start-up. A day later, the Mail on Sunday issued its Corrections & Clarifications where it admitted that

“In fact, one reporter used ‘free plays’ acquired during the experiment and went on to win an iPad worth up to £400.”

“And in a different experiment another journalist spent £40 and won £35 of flowers and a £101 iPod Nano.”

“Also, we said customers can top up their accounts as often as they like. In fact, top-ups are limited to £200 per day.”

But this did not even begin to scratch the surface.  Not only did they fail to retract the majority of their accusations and attacks of ill repute, but we could also prove that the journalist had won an ipad long before the article was ever published. The whole story was also picked up by the Tabloid Watch Blog in their post: Mail on Sunday reporters forget they won a £400 iPad.  And we are thankful for that too.

But the saga was still on-going.  Not only did they minimise the apologies in placing it in some corner of their site, but they also did not admit to everything.  After a long pursuit of the press complaint commission, we finally had the chance to disprove the article that was written by the Mail on Sunday and they had to print another apology.  In their second apology they at least had to explain Yipiii is indeed a risk-free winmarket system.

And this brings us up to Sunday.  On the 4 November 2012, the Mail on Sunday issued its second corrections and clarifications apology where they said:

“In fact, the 162 plays included ‘free spins’ won on previous plays and after our test,  but before publication, a reporter won a £400 iPad with remaining credit. Players have an 85 per cent chance of a prize or further play and non-winning stakes can be used as discounts on purchases through the site.”

And that “Users need to actively log in for the roulette wheel to appear when they are shopping. We apologise to Yipiii for not including this information in the article.”

So yes! We did what nobody expected from us to do or manage to achieve: we took on Goliath and defended ourselves. It cost us a lot of time, nerves and money, but the outcome proved us right. The best thing is that we survived. We are still here and ready to fight for your right to play to win their shopping.

But is that enough?  Should the Mail on Sunday have done more to repair the damage? Was this really freedom of the press or simply odious journalism? Is it fair to try to destroy a young new idea simply by inventing a strange story?  So here we would like to ask for your opinion. What do you think?  What should newspapers be able to get away with under the freedom of the press?

We want to hear from you.

Paying Was Never Fun

November 1st, 2012 | Posted by Chris Klingler in Yipiii - (0 Comments)

Some people like to window shop.  Some people like to browse through items.  Others like the anticipation of getting a present, like little kids waiting to open the presents on Christmas morning…  And still others like to actually finally get the product they just bought.  To have it or play with it or wear it or show it off…  But I know of no one that actually enjoys the part of handing over the money in order to get the item.  We seem to just accept that this is a necessary part of the shopping process.

But it does not have to be this way.  So, ok, maybe we can not spare you from every purchase out there ever…  But we can offer you 2 things.

One:  We can give you a chance to win your shopping risk free so that you do not have to part with your money – and might even get extra money trying to win it…  I know – it’s crazy, but still true.  You can not lose you money – but you can win your shopping or win more money than you played for.  Yes.  That is our guarantee.  We have gone the extra mile for you.  We have contracts with all our retailers to get these provisions with every purchase so that we can offer this great service.  That is what we do.

And two:  We can make your shopping experience more fun.  We offer you a way to play for your shopping, a way to have fun trying to buy whatever it is you want to buy.  Something you can do for 2 min during your lunch break, or anytime your friend just posted a new pair of shoes you must have – just take a quick spin of the wheel and see if you can win it – risk free.  Why not?

Why not have a little fun when transacting your money for what you want?  It really can be fun all the way.  Yipiii.  Try it.
