If your business is considering offering incentive programs to both employees and end users, it’s very important that you take adequate time to understand what such a provision entails and the power it has in elevating your brand of operations. A lot of businesses tend to go with the trend and just copy the incentive programs of businesses similar to theirs; while there’s nothing wrong with that, the benefits of such a strategy can be quite limited.
When designing really good incentive programs, going back to the core values of your operations is a must. Make these core values the foundation of the program so that even if the incentives are provided to the employees and end users, the actual execution of the provision can still speak volumes about your business, and harness benefits for it.
On top of that, strive to be unique or a cut above the rest,because this is the smartest tactic in today’s fiercely competitive business arena. Therefore, if you want to design incentives that will ensure your business’s great advantage, you better have a team of the right professionals guiding you.
One of the professionals to consult is a travel agent incentive programs typically have travel rewards as the most attractive inclusions so you require the know-how of this professional. The advantage you’ll derive from sitting down and discussing your idea for a good incentive program with a travel agent is that even if you choose the same old popular destinations for your travel incentive program, you can design the itinerary and value of the experience in a completely different way, and even sneak in special activities to further benefit your company.
Travel agents are fantastic repositories of knowledge regarding activities to be enjoyed in various places, which typical travellers or newbies do not get to try. For example, a lot of incentive travel programs to Japan merely include a trip to DisneySea in Tokyo, or a trip to the hot springs of Hokkaido. But with the extensive knowledge of travel agents about other sights to see and special events in the country, recipients of the provision can experience something a little out of the ordinary from the program,such as expos (where industry breakthroughs are displayed to the public), a first-class ride on the Shinkansen, and so much more.
Making incentive programs better than the rest and optimally beneficial to your company should be your goal, so go about the planning and designing process the smart way — secure the guidance of the right professionals. No doubt, you’ll accomplish your goals and establish your operations as an authority and trendsetter, which can be expected to generate more interest, and not just a lowly follower.
"I've been working with Bruce and his team on two projects and they've been great to work with. Bruce has helped us set up a referral/incentive program for us to roll out with our clients and strategic partners. Bruce was great to work with. He's set up a 7 tier program that allows for flexibility and he's also helped us to market the program."
"Beverly arranged and managed the early Envivio Sales incentive trips for us. Each of our events was an outstanding and motivating experience Our Sales team appreciated the attention to detail and to fun.
