Low Administration Costs
 | |
Administration of an incentive program can bury your organization
in paperwork. PointsPlan lets you and your staff concentrate
on your business. Our automated systems do all the work for
you. |
Incentive programs often fail to provide the expected
ROI due to much higher than budgeted administration costs.
An incentive program involving several thousand staff
members can literally bury your administrative staff in
paperwork.
Approving prize awards forms submitted, marking tests
and quizzes, managing special bonuses, processing and
entering results into the database can overwhelm your
already lean administrative capacity.
PointsPlan is completely self administrating. Prize order
processing is completely automated. Points are immediately
deducted, all employee files are updated, a confirmation
is sent to the employee and an order is created instantly.
Order inquiries by staff are handled on-line. Our automated
systems do the tracking.
Program Cost Controls
Our program and our experience keep program costs under
control.
The program can be structured to be completely vendor
financed. Vendor participation can be in the form of direct
financial contributions or you can solicit contributions
of merchandise to be used as awards.
Use your own prizes
While PointsPlan can supply the prizes offered, the program
is also designed to allow you to use your own products as
prizes in the points store. Unlike other programs, you
are not obligated to purchase prizes through PointsPlan.
Retailers using this program can partner with participating
vendors to have them not only provide the prizes but to
also fulfill the orders, taking that burden off of your
shoulders.
Vendors benefit by getting your products into the hands
of the staff who are selling them. The best sales technique
ever used is “This is what I am using.” You
also benefit through the advertising value of having your
products listed in the points store with a full description
of the product’s features and benefits.
If your products aren't suitable as prizes, PointsPlan can
offer a wide range of attractive products, gift cards and travel at
competive prices.
Rules Management
Properly drafted program rules can keep your expenses
low while still motivating your staff. Rules that are
not designed to maximize your results can be very costly.
Program fraud or unexpected “loopholes” in
your awards rules can quickly result in massive cost overruns.
PointsPlan was created with cost management and fraud
prevention built into the system. This lowers your cost
and makes budgeting predicable.
The redemption rate during the first year of a PointsPlan
promotion can be under 20%. A managed program can keep
redemptions under 50% for the life of the program.
