Incentive Strategy

The Ultimate Rewards Catalog: Tailoring Incentives for Every Goal

In the realm of employee recognition and customer loyalty, employee loyalty, and channel partner loyalty, the diversity of rewards and incentives plays a pivotal role. At All Digital Rewards, we offer a comprehensive suite of incentives to meet the varied preferences and needs of your audience. Here’s a closer look at the different types of rewards and incentives available.

Reward Types


Gift Cards:

Gift cards are a versatile and widely appreciated reward. They offer recipients the freedom to choose their own gift, ensuring satisfaction and a sense of autonomy.

Visa Prepaid Cards:

Visa prepaid cards are as good as cash and can be used virtually anywhere. They provide the flexibility of a debit card without the need for a bank account or credit check.

Physical Merchandise:

Tangible rewards have a lasting impact. Physical merchandise, whether it’s electronics, apparel, fitness equipment, or home goods, can serve as a constant reminder of the achievement it represents.

Brandable Merchandise:

Brandable merchandise not only rewards the recipient but also promotes your brand. Customized items can increase brand loyalty and turn recipients into brand ambassadors.

Digital Products:

In our tech-driven world, digital products such as e-books, software, television or other online subscriptions are becoming increasingly popular as rewards.

Experiences:

Experiences create memories that can outlast any physical reward. Concert tickets, travel vouchers, lunch with the boss or spa days can provide a meaningful escape and a well-deserved break.

Checks:

The traditional check is still a symbol of gratitude and recognition. It’s straightforward, universally accepted, and can be used for any purpose.

PayPal:

With the rise of digital payments, PayPal offers a quick and secure way to send monetary rewards directly to the recipient’s account.

Client Administered:

Some organizations prefer to manage their rewards programs internally. Client-administered rewards allow for personalized control over the distribution and management of incentives – even HSA donations.  This is also a great way to lower your cost for rewards.  Remember, rewards don’t always have to cost a lot.  

Sweepstakes:

Sweepstakes can add an element of excitement to your rewards program. The chance to win a significant prize can drive engagement and participation.

Instant Win:

For immediate gratification, instant win games offer the thrill of chance with the possibility of winning a prize on the spot – and they do a great job of using up point liabilities.

Designing Your Rewards Program

When designing a rewards program, consider the following:

  • Know Your Audience: Understand the preferences of your target group to select the most appealing rewards.
  • Set Clear Objectives: Align the rewards with your business goals, whether it’s boosting sales, improving service, or enhancing loyalty.
  • Communicate Effectively: Ensure that the terms and the process for earning rewards are clear and straightforward.
  • Measure Results: Keep track of participation and outcomes to gauge the effectiveness of your program and make necessary adjustments.
