Calling all Fortnite fans and metalheads! Prepare to unleash your inner rockstar as the legendary thrash metal band Metallica explodes onto the scene in Fortnite Festival Season 4. This highly anticipated season, kicking off on June 13th, promises a headbanging good time filled with iconic music, electrifying challenges, and exclusive in-game rewards. This SEO-optimized article delves into the electrifying details of Fortnite Festival Season 4 featuring Metallica. Buckle up for a wild ride through Battle Stage, the new PvP mode, explore the season's rewards, and discover how you can join the ultimate virtual mosh pit. Metallica Shreds Master of Puppets: Metallica Takes Center Stage For the first time, the iconic quartet – James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett, and Robert Trujillo – are stepping into the vibrant world of Fortnite as the official icons of Season 4. This collaboration marks a monumental moment for both franchises, offering players a unique opportunity to rock out alongside their metal heroes. The excitement doesn't stop there! Throughout Season 4, players can unlock a variety of Metallica-themed cosmetics, including outfits modeled after each band member. These outfits allow players to embody their favorite Metallica musicians and channel their inner rockstar spirit. Here's a closer look at what players can expect: James Hetfield Outfit: Don the iconic frontman's signature look, complete with ripped jeans, a sleeveless shirt, and a guitar strapped across your back. Lars Ulrich Outfit: Take control of the rhythm section with this outfit modeled after Lars' energetic drumming style. Kirk Hammett Outfit: Unleash your inner lead guitarist with Kirk's signature outfit, featuring his iconic "Greeny" Les Paul guitar. Robert Trujillo Outfit: Groove like the legendary bassist with Robert's unique style reimagined into a Fortnite outfit. These wearable tributes to Metallica are sure to be a hit with fans, allowing them to express their love for the band in a whole new way. Battle Stage: A Musical Maelstrom Get ready to unleash your musical prowess in the all-new Battle Stage mode. This innovative PvP experience pits 16 players against each other in a battle of musical skill and strategy. Here's how it works: The Setlist: A four-song setlist is randomly chosen from a pool of iconic Metallica tracks. Instrument and Difficulty: Each player gets to choose their instrument (guitar, bass, or drums) and difficulty level (easy, medium, or hard) for each song. Rock Out and Survive: Players compete by performing their chosen instrument section with accuracy and rhythm. The player with the lowest score after each song is eliminated. The competition continues until only one champion remains, standing victorious as the ultimate virtual musician. This mode promises an exciting new way to test your skills and showcase your musical talents in the Fortnite universe. Fuel Your Fandom: Season 4 Rewards The Fortnite Festival Season 4 pass grants players access to a plethora of exclusive rewards, including: Free Track Rewards: Players can unlock free cosmetics like sprays, emotes, and back bling as they progress through the free track of the season pass. Premium Track Rewards: Upgrading to the premium track unlocks a treasure trove of additional rewards, including all free track rewards plus: Premium Metallica Outfits: Unlock the premium Metallica outfits for James Hetfield, Kirk Hammett, and Robert Trujillo. Pickaxes and Gliders: Equip yourself with themed pickaxes and gliders inspired by Metallica's music and style. Exclusive Emotes: Show off your love for the band with unique emotes featuring iconic Metallica imagery and music. The premium track caters to die-hard fans, offering a chance to truly immerse themselves in the Metallica experience within Fortnite. Jam Out with the Masters: Metallica Music in Fortnite What's a musical collaboration without the music? Season 4 features a selection of iconic Metallica tracks available for purchase in the Fortnite Festival store. Here's the electrifying setlist: Enter Sandman Fuel Master of Puppets Ride the Lightning The Unforgiven Wherever I May Roam These legendary songs can be used to personalize your in-game experience, allowing you to blast your favorite Metallica tunes while dominating the competition. FAQs: Q: Can I unlock the Metallica outfits without buying the premium pass? A: Some basic Metallica cosmetics might be available through the free track of the season pass, but the premium outfits for James Hetfield, Kirk Hammett, and Robert Trujillo are exclusive to the premium track. Q: Will Metallica perform live in Fortnite? While an in-game concert isn't officially confirmed, the possibility remains exciting. Epic Games has hosted virtual concerts in the past, so there's always a chance we might see a virtual Metallica performance during Season 4. Q: How long will Fortnite Festival Season 4 last? Specific details haven't been revealed yet, but Fortnite seasons typically last around 10 weeks. Q: Is this collaboration just for Fortnite Battle Royale or does it include Creative Mode? The focus seems to be on the Battle Royale mode with the Battle Stage and themed cosmetics. However, Epic might introduce additional Metallica-themed elements to Creative Mode, allowing players to create their own musical experiences.

Hack: Turn Your Consumers into Lifelong Advocates with 1 Simple Trick

Clickbait-y yes, but don’t worry. I actually meant what I said in the title. 

You may have come across some of those guides that teach you the correct way to treat a customer and convert them for life. This is not that. While I do intend to cover the basics, what I’m sharing today is the existence of a shortcut that does 70% of the work for you. 

If combined with solid fundamentals, you’re likely to muster a cult following. 

Why do you want customer advocacy?

A good friend of mine once bought a Hydroflask and would not shut up about how awesome it was. He even connected us all to the Hydrohomie subreddit, a forum dedicated to glorifying the act of drinking water. Eventually, he bought me a Hydroflask for my birthday and said: “Welcome, hydrohomie.” 

A customer won over to this point will often start making the item part of their personality. They mention it wherever relevant (guaranteed), and sometimes even where it’s not. Regardless, they become the marketer’s dream – a brand advocate. 

Someone you’ve converted to your brand’s religion and who preaches it on sandy beach and mountain top. 

But how valuable is the brand advocate really? How much effort should a brand dedicate to converting customers into zealots? 

Here are the facts: 

Studies demonstrate that existing customers are 50% more likely to try new products and spend an average 31% more than new ones. 

Even better – it’s much easier to retain an existing customer than acquire a new one (6X to 7X easier according to the White House Office of Consumer Affairs). 

A 5% increase in customer retention can drive profits up by 25%. 

Last but not least, customer acquisition costs are only going to keep increasing. 

Conclusion: loyal customers are your biggest assets. 

Of course, you need to strike a balance but experienced managers say that retention is too often overlooked.

Building loyalty

So, you want to focus on the loyalty game now. Careful, it is a delicate one. 

It can take months or years to build up, and one bad experience might lose you the customer for good. In fact, PwC says customer volatility is at an all-time high. 

The most basic competitive stage for a brand is its pricing, but now that most industry secrets are out, the battlestage is emotional. It is akin to winning someone over in love – you have to be attentive, patient, competent, generous and trustworthy.

Let’s look at what happened with customer experience. 

The pandemic forced brands to improve their online customer journeys, making them more seamless, effective and available than ever. People got used to the convenience and don’t want to do without it as they go back to brick-and-mortar.

They want an in-store, digital experience. And there is one technology that bridges the gap between both worlds.

Augmented reality is here.

Yes, it’s been around for a while. We’ve all seen the Snapchat filters that turn your face into a cute puppy-human.

What I mean is that it’s now available through everyday apps thanks to the advent of WebAR. It used to be that developers had to create app-specific experiences that couldn’t be used without downloading the app in question. 

Simply put, it’s easy to deploy now. 

What does it do for a brand? It allows them to connect with every consumer throughout the shopping experience, providing product information, guiding them through the store based on their needs and highlighting points or promotions of interest on the way. 

Because it encourages you to log in, it also allows brands to personalize recommendations, reward loyalty, distribute prizes and more. The key here is that the connection was made more seamlessly than usual. A quick scan of the QR code as you walk in, sign in with Facebook or Google, move on to the good stuff.

From there, the live connection generates real-time, actionable data for you to make the most well-advised and timely recommendations ever witnessed without a store clerk. Imagine they pick up a set of forks, and you point out a 30% reduction on the associated set of knives before they walk out. Something like that. 

This level of personalization is what people learnt to expect and love about online shopping, and this is how you deploy in store. Are you convinced? Well, I hate to keep you here but it’s not even over. Have you ever tried on 5 different pants, not found the one and just given up? 

AR allows people to sample products like clothes, makeup or outsized objects in a quasi-frictionless manner. A Harvard study found that customers that could sample lipsticks with AR spent 50% at the stall and tried 7.5 times more products.  

In conclusion, when well-crafted, AR is a customer experience holy grail. On top of that, AR shopping is still new to most of us – a great experience will brand your name in their mind. 

Don’t forget the fundamentals

AR is convenient, flashy and effective. It helps you reach deep levels of service and recommendation personalization. However, a lot more goes into loyalty. 

You need to be vocal. Express your brand’s values loud and clear to help people identify with you. 

You need to build trust. Deliver on product promises and be available when things go wrong.

You need to understand your customer. I mean truly. The said and the unsaid. Many swear by ethnography, a method that uses informal interviews and observation of the subject in its undisturbed, usual activities to learn more about them.

You need to be generous. Make them feel like they got more than expected, and treat them like more than a source of revenue. What goes around comes around.

You need to reward. Reward programs are typically considered difficult to sign up to and participate in. Tech like, but not limited to, AR can help you overcome that.

Cover these, upgrade to next-gen tech and take over.

Week 8 Hands-On Assignment pt. 2

Week 8 Script Assignment

Danny and Nicole are on the living room couch. Danny hands Nicole a controller.

Danny: Wanna play Smash Bros? I think I finally got the controls down. Maybe I can finally beat you this time.

Nico: I think you’re forgetting how I’m literally ranked in the top 100 in this game, remember?

Danny: Yeah yeah. I’ll get you this time. Play Ness, I wanna play Pit against him.

Nico: Alright bet. I’ll go easy on you for this first game.

Nico changes the game settings, picks Pokémon Stadium as the battlestage, and starts the game.

Game Announcer: Three! Two! One! Go!

Game begins.

Danny: Boom! There you go, take that!

Nico: Oh okay, you are getting pretty good. Watch this though.

Danny: Nah, that spike is crazy!

Nico: I’m telling you, I’m the best at this, no one can beat me. No one.

Light flicker. TV screen flickers. Lights turn off. The TV screen turns off.

Danny: What the hell?

Nico: What’s happening? What is this?

Danny: I don’t know, I’m scared!

Power goes out. Brief period of silence. Heavy breathing from Danny and Nico. Screen turns back on, graphics are distorted.

Nico: What is that? Why does the game look like that?

Danny: I don’t know. I don’t like this man. If this is a joke this isn’t funny.

Nico approaches the TV. Repeatedly presses the power button. Flickers light switches back and forth.

Nico: Are you seeing this? The TV won’t turn off. And the lights won’t turn on. We don’t have power. But the Smash Bros menu is still up. It looks off though, like my vision is drunk.

Danny: How is the TV on if we have no power? That’s not possible dummy.

Nico: This is not the time, we have to figure this out.  *Pointing at the screen* Come look at this.

Danny gets up to inspect the TV. The menu is familiar, but different enough to be noticeable.

Nico: *Pointing at the character selection menu* Look at how Pit looks. He doesn’t look like that normally, right?

Danny: You’re right. He looks so much more realistic. What’s going on, I feel like I’m in a weird dream?

Sound emits from the TV, similar to white noise. Screen displays a spiraling black hole. TV turns pitch black. Room turns pitch black, Danny and Nico can no longer see each other.

Nico & Danny: What the-

Characters find themselves in a bland, gray room. Room is not recognizable to the characters. There is a singular door in front of them.

Danny: What’s happening!?! What is this?!?

Nico: Calm down, calm down. Panicking isn’t gonna help us. This place looks like the waiting room in the Smash campaign, doesn’t it?

Danny: *Heavily breathing* We’re in some random room after being in our house and all you can think about it that stupid game!

Announcer: Choose your character!

Danny: What the hell!?!

Nico: I can’t believe he said that. No way. There’s no way. Are we in the game? I had a dream about this last night! Nico opens the door in front of them.

Danny: What are you doing!?!

Characters look out of the door to see Pokemon Stadium 2, with realistic looking characters Ness and Pit are faced on opposite ends of the stage. Announcer: Three! Two! One! Go!
