We compared one hair salon with an incentive system with a hair salon without an incentive system.
(...) By the end of the two weeks, data was collected to compare the number of Covid Champion registrations in the hair salon with incentive system, with number of champion registrations in the hair salon without incentive system. (...) Additionally, users did not feel they had time to commit as they have other jobs and family to take care of.
