Rewards are the most visible component of an engagement program and typically the first thing that a potential client wants to see. However, the rewards component of an incentive plan should only be considered AFTER the analysis is completed, the budget is determined based on the expected results and the demographics of the audience have been reviewed.
Our focus is on helping companies to achieve maximum profit and cash flow, while positively impacting employee and customer engagement which means that our business model is not based on making 30%+ mark-up on the rewards.
Instead, when you contract with us for a 3-year engagement to analyze your organization, the impact of the proposed incentive plan and the effects of the actual incentive plan, we agree to sell whatever rewards you choose to buy from us at our cost.
Why would we do this?
It's really very simple... because we believe that incentive plans are meant to bring positive cash flow and profits to an organization. You pay us based on our combined results (our analysis and your implentation). Therefore, we believe that it is unneccessary to also build in a margin on the rewards, which makes us an investor in your incentive plan, rather than a supplier.
That being said, at Incentive Depot we embrace uniqueness... therefore, through our partnerships we offer
- Tens of thousands of name-brand merchandise, experiential, travel, gift voucher and music rewards in over 50 countries
- Group incentive travel
- Stored value / prepaid debit cards
We are also not tied to any particular supplier, so if your program requires something very unique we can help you source it and manage the fulfillment too.
