Check-ins were originally just for yourself or for sharing with friends.Through this mechanism, check-ins by all who came to Uniqlo were made visible as entertainment.
The excitement at individual stores were combined to become a giant festival encompassing all stores. Users could win a coupon to be used during the sale only. This augmented check-in participation and traffic to stores.
