Episode notes
Dishoom’s Dice Dining Game
- Dishoom in London uses a dice roll game for early bird specials where rolling a six means a free meal.
- This game is inspired by Bombay's 1960s illegal lotteries, creating excitement and driving publicity.
Gamifying Discounts Beats Coupons
- Dishoom’s 1/6 chance of a free meal equals a 17% discount financially but the game excites more.
- Gamifying discounts outperforms straightforward price cuts by enhancing customer thrill and publicity.
Fakeflation in Prime Day Deals
- Amazon Prime Day and competitors extend discount events but use pricing tactics to create artificial savings.
- Raised pre-sale prices create “fakeflation” causing shoppers to overvalue discounts during these prolonged sales.
