People make commitments throughout life. Some promise to improve on their lifestyle. Others pledge to support worthy organisations. When you make a commitment, you require cajoling and encouragement. DigiPromise provides both.
The Pledge
DigiPromise allows people to state:
- Who they are
- What promise they want to make
- How long they intend to maintain their promise
Maintaining the Pledge
DigiPromise helps people to maintain their commitment by engaging with users. For the duration of the promise, an email is sent automatically to the user. This email consists of a reminder of the pledge and a piece of advice or information tailored to help fulfilment of that pledge.
DigiPromise operates with the support of various partner organisations. These organisations can provide additional assistance and encouragement to those undertaking pledges.
Friends
Most people require the help of friends and family to maintain their commitments. Users have the option of contacting friends to let them know about the pledge. These friends receive details about the pledge and will be given the chance to receive regular updates on the user's progress. Friends may also opt out of receiving such emails and support their friend in other ways.
Achieving
When the user reaches a significant milestone, i.e. one month successfully completed, the website and daily/weekly emails remind them of their achievement.
Users can add comments to update others on their progress.
Information about the pledge is displayed on the site and may be viewed by all visitors. People are more likely to maintain a pledge if that commitment is made public. Those who have complete faith in their ability to maintain their pledge may opt to keep the pledge hidden.
