# Leaderboards

Leaderboards in Open Loyalty are dynamic ranking systems designed to display your members in order of their performance based on a specific metric.

By showcasing how members compare to each other, leaderboards can motivate participants to achieve higher scores or more activity.&#x20;

### How leaderboards drive engagement

Leaderboards add an exciting, competitive element to your loyalty program. They are effective because they:

* **Spark Healthy Competition**: Members will strive to earn more points to see their name at the top of the list.
* **Encourage Specific Actions**: They create a clear incentive for members to repeat profitable behaviors to climb the rankings.
* **Reward Top Members**: They give you a simple and public way to identify and reward your most active and valuable customers.
* **Build Community**: A shared contest or ranking creates a sense of community and friendly rivalry.

### What you can do with leaderboards (common use cases)

Leaderboards are flexible and can be used to achieve many different goals. For example, you can:

* **Run Monthly Contests**: Create a short-term leaderboard for the "Top 10 Point Earners of the Month" and offer a bonus prize to the winners. This creates urgency and repeat visits.
* **Incentivize Referrals**: Run a month-long "Top Referrer" leaderboard to see which of your members are bringing in the most new customers and reward them accordingly.
* **Promote New Products**: Launch a leaderboard that tracks points earned *only* from the purchase of a new product or category.
