Reading the Activity Patterns
The Daily Rhythm: When do they show up? Morning coffee browsers, lunch break scrollers, or late-night completers? This timing tells you when to launch new content. The Consistency Factor: Steady daily activity or weekend warriors? Consistent users are your community backbone, while binge users need different strategies. The Drop-off Clues: Long gaps between activities often mean life got busy, not that your content got boring. Recent drop-offs might need intervention.Points and Spending Psychology
Users fall into clear economic patterns: Immediate Spenders: Redeem points as soon as they earn them (instant gratification seekers)Strategic Savers: Hoard points for bigger rewards (goal-oriented planners)
Bargain Hunters: Only spend during promotions or for high-value items
Point Ignorers: Accumulate massive balances but rarely redeem anything Understanding someone’s spending pattern helps you design rewards that actually motivate them.
Social Behavior Indicators
Community Champions: Comment frequently, help others, create discussionsQuiet Achievers: Complete challenges but rarely engage socially
Social Butterflies: Love to interact but may skip individual challenges
Observers: Read everything, engage with little (they’re still valuable!)
