T-shirts, badges, certificates, appreciation letters

Since Google can know who all are active contributers/who contributes often, I think Local Guides would be encouraged to contribute more and more when they are gifted with badges, t-shirts, certificates, appreciation letters. T-shirts and badges might help a lot since when local Guides wear it and visit some place the owners might give them more information about their business and allow the Local Guides to take good pictures and videos.

When it comes to certification and appreciation letters, who all recieve it will surely post them on social media so that their friends, family and others know. This would also inspire others to contribute to the maps so that even they get certified. This way there will be many new Local Guides and the amount of contributions get increases providing more and better information in the Google maps and the users to know more about different places and new places. Please like it if you think this idea would surely work and comment ur reviews on my idea😀

Hi @Luis_Alves,

 

Thank you for sharing with us your concerns.

 

Regarding the suggestion, please make sure to check T-shirts, badges, certificates, appreciation letters, as it is quite similar to your idea.

 

We understand and appreciate your endeavor, as it can indeed give a Local Guide higher chance to receive perks following their quality contributions to the community. Please make sure to have 

your email preferences for perks to be enabled.

 

Follow up to that, I have moved the two posts in one place for further convenience.

Thank you!

I also contribute to TripAdvisor and they constantly send swag whether stickers, luggage tags, and even a high quality tote bag for my contributions . App access is cool in all but not much. Also was disappointed that we lost the unlimited storage perk.

GOOD IDEA

Great idea. I would, in fact, pay for a shirt myself, it could be useful for when travelling. Maybe for people at level 8 they could hand out a free shirt?

Level 8

Great for all local guider.

Level 7

I think that's a great idea and hope Google associates and businesses we review could join in on sending contributors perks and goodies.
