Simulations

Custom investment simulations are a powerful way of acquiring customers and prospects while teaching them the basics of investing in a fun way. Entrants get mock money to invest in real stocks and mutual funds, testing their investment strategies and getting comfortable with online investing in the process. Entrants voluntarily submit information about themselves, which is used to create prospect lists. They also repeatedly return to the simulation to check their portfolios, read helpful articles, and invest, allowing clients to continually market products and services in a cost-effective and compelling way.

Custom simulations help your company build relationships with customers and differentiate your brand from your competitors. By generating repeat visits to your site, simulations build players' familiarity with your firm. By educating players in a fun and compelling way, games build goodwill and thus increase the likelihood that customers will choose to do business with you. Simulations can be customized in many ways to suit your marketing needs.
