Whether you’ve worked with an incentive marketing company in the past or your about to embark on your first incentive marketing program, I thought it would be helpful to provide you with the key questions to ask your incentive marketing company:

1)  Will you handle design of our incentive marketing brochure and online motivation site?

2)  Does your team assist in creating communication materials for our incentive marketing program?

3)  Is your team skilled at handling individual employee requests?

4)  Can your organization handle a global incentive marketing program?

5)  Do you provide up-to-date tracking and reporting on my incentive marketing program?

6)  Are you resposible for all shipping and handling?

Any reputable incentive marketing company in today’s marketplace should be able to answer YES to any of the above questions!

If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at 212.243.7733.

I just wanted to take a moment to wish you and yours a Happy Holiday Season.

2008 has been an incredibly tough year for many corporations.  But, times will get better!

How can I tell?

We talk daily to corporations about the values of incentive marketing programs, length of service programs as well as global marketing programs.

This shows me that many companies understand how important it is to motivate their employees and is why I am so optimistic about 2009.

A motivated employee generates better results and will be the key factor in turning around our economy.

But, for now, take a moment to relax and enjoy the holiday season.

Warm regards,

Tom

A good friend of mine mentioned that his sales staff travels frequently and what would be a desirable suitcase to include in an incentive marketing program?

The Solution

Many premier brands like Tumi now offer perfect sized bags for frequent travelers.

Take this Tumi Alpha Travel & Business Wheeled Compact Computer Brief as an example.

This gem offers the convenience of a rolling briefcase with a removable laptop sleeve and many organizer pockets.

It is made from Tumi’s signature ballistic nylon, fits under an airline seat and features an accessory pouch, umbrella pocket, top carry handle and telescoping handle.

Now that’s a stylish and effective way to travel.

No surprise here.

With companies facing tough times and planning ahead for 2009, many big organizations are canceling off-site meetings.

As you know, many executives look forward to these meetings because they are often a ‘vacation’ coupled with ‘work.’

How can you avoid disappointment among your executives and sales staff?

Make travel a part of your incentive marketing program.

Historically speaking, travel is one of the most popular rewards in a motivational program.

In 2009, that will definitely continue to be the case.

Take a look at some of the hot destinations featured in this year’s Taraci Collection here.

The Superbowl. The Inauguration. The World Series.

Can’t make it to the big event?

The next best thing of course is having the right TV.

And, that’s why TVs are so popular as an incentive marketing item.

One example is the Sony OLED Digital TV. (photo above)

This is the industry’s first OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) television, with a 3mm thin panel and breathtaking image contrast, brightness and color.

The OLED features a contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1.

Happy Holidays!

Today, NY’s Gov. David Patterson is suggesting that wine be sold in a larger variety of locations in NYC in order to increase revenues for the state, according to reports.

If this legislation passes – or even if it doesn’t  — many people are always looking for the perfect wine storage unit.

Well, look no further.

The Magic Chef Wine Cooler allows you to keep your wine close at hand.

This model is small enough to keep on your counter and the red matches any décor.

It has an 8 bottle capacity and a temperature range from 44 degrees to 66 degrees F.
