Marketing Incentives and Rewards

Marketing incentives and rewards are effective tools for attracting customers and prospective customers and encouraging them to engage with your products and services.

Surprising customers and prospects with something extra is a powerful way to enhance their experience and boost loyalty. Rewards are a wonderful “thank you” for referrals that bring in new customers. Be generous!

Ensure that marketing incentives and rewards align with your overall strategy and brand image to create a positive and lasting impression on customers and prospects.

  • Showing gratitude with a small gift or token of appreciation after a sale can leave a positive impression.
  • Incentives for participating in beta testing programs give participants early access to new features and improvements and rewards them for participation.
  • Gift cards for scheduling and participating in product demonstrations and meetings.
  • Referrals should always be generously rewarded with incentives for helping bring in new business. 
  • Offer a wide selection of incentives and awards for participating in a trial of your product or service that allows potential customers to experience value before committing to a purchase.

Three key aspects to marketing incentive programs

1. Targeted Incentives

Customize marketing incentives and rewards to match your audience’s preferences. Offer a choice of incentives for maximum value. Consider participants’ demographics, interests, and motivations when choosing rewards..

2. Effective Communication and Promotion

Utilize various channels to communicate to ensure participants understand the program’s benefits, rules, and how to participate, ensuring engagement and enthusiasm among the target audience.

3. Measurable Objectives

Clearly defined and measurable objectives are crucial for success, whether it’s increasing sales, improving customer retention, expanding market share, or achieving specific performance targets.

ATTRACTIVE, RELEVANT & EFFECTIVE

ATTRACTIVE

Reward programs can boost sales by providing prospects and customers with attractive offers and incentives.

Incentives motivate customers to make purchases, try new products, or buy more frequently, leading to higher satisfaction and increased revenue.

Offering a variety of incentives on a regular basis can keep the experience fresh and exciting.

RELEVANT

Incentives should be relevant to the prospect or customer and their needs and align with their preferences.

Tailor your incentives to the needs and preferences of your target audience. TruCentive provides an easy means for recipients to select their most relevant incentive from a list of offerings that you curate.

EFFECTIVE

Effective incentives are rewards for being a loyal customer, for participating in programs, providing referrals, or for trying out a product or service.

Consistency in delivering a positive customer experience is equally important of course.

The unexpected can delight prospects and customers

Offering customers and prospects a fun choice of incentives and rewards can enhance their experience, close deals and build customer loyalty.

Empowerment

When prospects and customers have the option to select their preferred incentives and rewards, they appreciate them more.

Boosted Enthusiasm

Allowing customers to choose incentives or rewards over and above free trials can resonate with them personally and increase their motivation to excel in their roles and support the company’s success.

Authentic

Sincere thanks aren’t solely motivated by profit. Authenticity builds trust and long-term relationships. Consider having the incentive come from the account team or support team that has the relationship with the customer. 

Enhanced Perceived Value

By providing a variety of incentive choices, you can create a positive experience, leading to higher customer retention, engagement, and satisfaction.

Incentives and rewards that align with customer preferences increases the perceived value and memorability of the gesture.
