We believe partnerships move business forward!
A s your strategic partner, we’ll guide you through the process of creating and implementing impactful incentives, meetings and events that motivate and reward the partners who mean the most to your business. Our solutions are fully customized to your specific needs. There’s nothing “off-the-shelf” about our services.
Whether it’s within your internal teams or across your distribution chain, our Business Strategy Solutions enable you to motivate long-term behavior changes that drive incremental growth and increased loyalty.
We help accomplish this through:
- DRIVE: Our proven roadmap (Data, Rewards, Intelligence, Value and Engagement) for designing data-rich, ROI-focused programs, backed by decades of experience
- Performance by Design®: Our collaborative discovery process that analyzes your sales data, industry history and business goals to create the precise strategy for your needs
- Rule Structures: Our custom rule structures use your target audience data, company goals and market potential to control your budget, minimize risk, segment goals by participant groups and provide real-time performance tracking
Our services fall within two categories: Engagement Strategy Solutions and Travel Strategy Solutions.
Some clients use services from only one category; others dip into both.
Engagement Strategy Solutions
Once we know your target audience, we want to make sure they’re engaged with your program or event from the launch date forward. We do this in a variety of ways, including building intelligent participant activity tracking platforms and working with your marketing team to create effective communication touchpoints.
Travel Strategy Solutions
As a full-service incentive, meeting and events partner, our team thrives on details. We have global partnerships that allow us to operate anywhere our clients want to be. From hotel sourcing to contract negotiations to booking top-name entertainment and everything in between, our team acts as an extension of your company.
We’ll take on as much or as little as you desire, and we’re always happy to consult with you as needs arise.
Our Roadmap to Success: DRIVE
DRIVE is the roadmap we’ve created to help businesses increase profitable growth. We’ve been in this industry for more than 40 years, and in that time, we’ve solidified how to create successful incentive programs, meetings and events, while providing a comprehensive picture of our clients’ business data. It’s part of our program DNA.
Based on data and customized metrics, each letter of DRIVE is a beacon to give you the best route to success:
Let’s go for a ride together!
D – Data
Effective programs start with understanding growth potential. The more data we have before and during a program, the better the results.
R – Rewards
The right reward is critical to inspiring motivation. We offer a wide range of travel incentives, exclusive events, merchandise, lifestyle upgrades and special event tickets, gift cards and personalized shopping experiences.
I – Intelligence
Relevant data leads to better program outcomes. We track participant performance and provide regular analysis so you can uncover missing insights and adjust strategies accordingly.
V – Value
A well-designed program is self-funding. Our programs pay for themselves through incremental sales growth while mitigating risk.
E – Engagement
Behavior change requires sustained attention. We design programs that stay top of mind throughout the earning period.
Our Consultative Approach: Performance by Design®
Performance by Design® is our philosophy for creating award-winning incentive programs, meetings and events. We start by listening to you first. The more data we have before and during a program the better the results will be for your business.
We meet to discuss your:
- Data
- Goals
- Obstacles
- Target audience
- Company and industry trends
We’ll analyze your information so we can provide you with risk mitigation, financial modeling and ROI expectations. Many of our clients end up unlocking business intelligence they may not have known they were missing!
Don’t have all the data? That’s ok—we can still create a successful program tailored to your needs.
Building Success from the Start: Rule Structures Mitigate Risk & Maximize Results
Perhaps the most critical component of building a successful incentive or loyalty program is the rule structure. This happens to be one of our specialties. Using your target audience, company goals, past sales data and market growth potential, we create rules that motivate your participants and set you up for maximum success.
Furthermore, our program rules are structured so rewards are funded by the incremental growth the program creates, not by adding cost to your P&L.
Our rule structures allow you to:
- Control your budget
- Reduce your risk
- Adjust as needed
- Segment goals & rewards for different groups
We design custom participant tracking platforms and can create special reports for internal teams. Additionally, rule structures are flexible so changes can be made when needed to correct for surprises or capitalize on unexpected gains in real time.
