An incentive item’s purpose is to introduce change and motivate people to do something – achieve a goal, complete a task, attend a seminar, follow procedures, learn new information, become educated about products and service, and improve performance are a few examples. Incentive items help reinforce a message and serve to stimulate people as you guide them through a process to achieve a result. You can use them to generate quick short-term responses or implement them over time to reinforce repeat performance – as in a workforce safety program, in a competitive sales associate revenue-targeted program, or in a customer loyalty program.

Incentive Rewards are also powerful marketing tools implemented through multi-level premium redemption offerings. Rewards are used to motivate sales forces and build customer loyalty. Incentive Awards, while similar to Rewards, frequently come in the form of performance recognition offerings. Specialty and premium items for both of these areas include merchandise, gift cards, and vacations. Depending upon your market, incentives can range in price from a few dollars, as in the case of a gift card, to thousands of dollars, as in case of multiple pink Cadillac’s awarded to top achievers by Mary Kay Company.

In sales situations, an internal incentive campaign focused on your sales associates and representative agents is often-times orchestrated concurrently with an external customer-directed product or service promotional program.
