This 30-year old incentive company runs a Web-based application called the eChoiceAwards program. There, companies can create a customized awards site with a number of award levels and personalized naming and graphics. The client company receives branded certificates that it can award to employees, sales teams, customers and prospects. The lucky winners go to their company's branded awards site to select products based upon their "star" award levels. Because the choice is theirs, winners receive awards that are both wanted and used -- powerful, incentivizing "thank yous" that will be remembered.

Pick your item, choose the color you want, pick the logo you want to use and presto, you see what the product will look like before it arrives on your desk.

CorporateRewards.com is an incentive provider that specializes in employee incentives, corporate rewards and employee recognition programs. Rewards are issued in the form of GiveAnything.com gift certificates, which can be redeemed for products on their network of e-commerce sites or for gift cards from even more national retailers.
The company has managed incentive programs with as many as 500,000 participants. If you have a small program to manage, try their "Do It Yourself" model. Fund the program with a credit card, use their incentive modules and point participants to the "Spend Your Award" website that you've customized with your branding. A unique feature of this program is that participants can combine their rewards for larger purchases. They are able to check current balances online to see how quickly they are building points for those more expensive desires - quite an incentive.

ePrize, a leading interactive promotions agency, runs online sweepstakes, instant win contests, trivia games, interactive loyalty programs and point-based rewards programs for clients that include 58 of the Fortune 100 companies in America. The company handles all the campaign details for clients, from legalities to planning, technology and digital fulfillment.
For example, at the time of writing one of the featured promotions was a campaign for Harrahs.com, designed to promote the World Series of Poker. Click through to the poker table, and you could enter into the Grand Prize Sweepstakes (a cool $10,000) with every play. For instant gratification, random players won cash prizes of $250, $100 or $50. Sweepstakes such as this one are powerful incentives to keep coming back to your site - which is what ePrize had in mind all along.

You will also find articles on how to measure the success of incentive programs.
A subset of the group, the Online Incentive Council, is comprised of companies that have extensive expertise in the online incentive industry. According to their research, online incentive programs generate greater participation and are more cost-effective than traditional direct marketing programs. Good to know.
