White Paper: Four Key Components of a Successful Loyalty Program

One of the key tools that your company will use in its arsenal to meet important corporate objectives is a loyalty program. Whether it’s retaining or motivating key employees, motivating channel partners, attracting new customers or building brand advocacy, the incentive program design you choose can make or break the desired outcome. We believe that if the redemption process needs to be well managed and easy on your customers. The end user will demand that the payment is quick. With the ease of smartphones and laptops, consumers are educated enough to know there are very few reasons most rebate claims can’t be submitted online. Companies should offer online redemption even though it will increase the number of submitted claims. The benefits of online transactions is a reduction in data entry costs, turnaround time, and increased customer satisfaction. The opportunity to market additional products or services to the customer while they are submitting their information on your website also makes the ease of electronic program interaction quite valuable. If these goals are understood than the long-term payoff is substantially higher than the cost savings of unclaimed rebates. Customers are still looking for deals provided the promotional price is larger than the […]

Reward Redemption Process is Crucial to Good Engagement

At its core, the purpose of an incentive is to impact the behavior of employees, customers or respondents.  Any incentive that does not impact behavior or decision making is simply a waste of time and money.  Simply stated maybe, but that doesn’t make the statement any less Accurate. As factual as that initial statement is, it does not present a complete explanation of the true role of an incentive.  It is true saying that an incentive must impact initial decision making of an employee; customer or respondent the company using the incentive must also take a long-term view of their ongoing relationship with the recipient. A well-structured incentive plan cannot only positively impact initial behavior and decision making but also solidify a long-term (and profitable) relationship with the target audience…or forever end that relationship and likely the disgruntled respondent’s immediate circle of influence.  An incentive plan must take into consideration the impact the reward redemption process may have on the long-term potential of the client relationship.  Unfortunately, too many incentive marketing agencies are long on innovative redemption processes but short on the vision for the long-term impact they may have on client relationships to their audience. Many key stakeholders focus […]

Why eGift Cards are Making An Impact On Your Business

Incentive programs efficiently get new customers in the door and reach out to retain your loyal customers. There are roughly 2.5 billion loyalty memberships in the U.S. (Colloquy). Last year U.S. companies spent $76.9 billion on incentives and promotions, while $22.7 billion of that was spent solely on incentive and loyalty gift cards alone. It is safe to say that incentives work. However, when is the right time to implement an incentive rewards program into your marketing strategy for consumer promotions?

Cash: Do You Really Need It? We Can Help You Decide

Do you remember that special birthday where you were given some cash inside a card you never read?  Do you really remember who gave it to you?  Would it be a fair guess that you would rather have had something other than THAT?  Something where you knew they were thinking of you or at least trying to think of you.  It just seemed like a last minute gift or a cop out?  Maybe even “cheap”? It’s a well-known saying and cliché, “Cash is King”.  We all love a roll of bills in our pocket or the check that arrives in the mail.  We even get excited to receive that PIN number to activate a virtual prepaid card online.  Why?  Generally, it is because of instant gratification and has a known or expected quality.  Yes, the check usually takes a few to several weeks to arrive.  Yes, the virtual prepaid card cannot usually be used for fuel, paying bills, or in the grocery store, but it’s there for other things. So why, in today’s world where most loyalty programs based on cash incentives, are they struggling to keep their end-users engaged and performing?  One word: emotions.  Just like the introduction above, […]
