Penny auction trendsetter Beezid sets another industry milestone by introducing gamification to its format.
MONTREAL, Feb. 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/ — Beezid has been leading the penny auction industry for 7 years, offering an alternative to retail shopping that's fun & interactive, but most importantly, allowing members to bid on brand new merchandise at up to 99% off the retail value.

Known for its unique platform and user experience, Beezid is about to completely change the way people think about entertainment shopping by unveiling the much anticipated launch of Beezid's penny auction gamification feature called "Super".
Super marks Beezid's shift towards gamification by introducing exclusive new features like Super powers. These powers will allow members to modify and control various aspects of the auction experience; for example, freezing the auction's price at a certain level, lowering the final price paid or getting their bids back at the end of the auction, to name a few.
Beezid's team states that Super places the power directly into the hands of the site members, allowing them to bend the rules in what they refer to as the bidders' evolution to "Superhero" status. Members are encouraged to develop a new bidding strategy that Beezid assures will take the game to a whole new level.
According to a recent industry study by Spil Games, over 1.2 billion people are playing games worldwide, with 700 million of those being solely online. While playing games online is nothing new, applying the gaming model to e-commerce where participants win tangible goods may be considered by some to be revolutionary.
"While most mobile and online games offer a sense of completion by unlocking new levels and features, we are not only introducing the ability to take home incredible physical products, but we have created an intriguing and compelling component to Beezid," said CEO Max Bohbot. "These changes will adjust the amount of strategy required to bid on Beezid and will, most importantly, level the playing field for new users to win luxury items with much more ease than ever before," Bohbot continued. "We've introduced Super in order to hand over the reins and give our users the power to control auctions by unlocking and applying various Super powers that will not just give them a strategic advantage, but will guarantee their ongoing enjoyment as they explore the various levels of their 'Super powers.'"
