In this teaser episode of Season 10 of the Behavioral Economics in Marketing Podcast, we take a look back at Season 7, where we focused on entrepreneurship and how behavioral economics can drive smarter, faster business growth.

We spotlight the fan-favorite episode: Level Up Your Business: How Entrepreneurs Can Harness the Power of Gamification. It’s packed with insights on how game mechanics like rewards, points, and progress tracking can supercharge customer engagement, motivate employees, and make your business more fun and effective.

Then, we preview a brand-new companion episode: Building Loyalty Programs with Gamification: From Points to Progress Bars — a deeper dive into turning traditional loyalty systems into engaging, behaviorally driven experiences. You’ll discover how progress bars, badges, and surprise rewards tap into powerful psychological triggers that increase retention and brand love.

Whether you're a founder, marketer, or growth strategist, this pairing is your blueprint for turning behavior into brand loyalty.
