If you’ve ever been on the receiving end of a well-intentioned but meaningless reward (another set of branded mugs, maybe) you understand how important it is to give a little more sincere consideration to the gesture. Merchandise is tricky to get right. Cash is nice, but ultimately forgettable. Digital vouchers offer everything you want and need in a meaningful year-end reward
For reward buyers, digital vouchers are fast and easy to procure. Just select the vouchers that best fit your brand, objectives and budget, order by phone or online, and away you go.
Fulfilment costs are non-existent because vouchers are delivered straight to the recipient’s cell phone or email. And with transactional software getting ever more sophisticated, redemption is easy and seamless at point of sale.
Compare that experience, if you will, to giving merchandise rewards. First, there’s procurement. Finding ‘something for everyone’ that’s on-brand and within budget is a big challenge. (It’s a long shot, actually, and rarely achieved). Logistics can be a headache and delivery costs are no small matter. Yes, merchandise can be a great reward, but unless you get all those details just right, it’s hard to match the ease and appeal of digital vouchers.
And as for cash, no one is likely to refuse it, but it doesn’t carry much reward value either. It’s more likely to be spent on a year-end necessity than a year-end treat. Plus, cash is what it is and doesn’t hold much value beyond a number. Let’s say that’s R500. A restaurant voucher for the equivalent amount is dinner out with your significant other. See the difference?
The point here is that digital vouchers offer the convenience and reward value that merchandise, or cash just can’t match.
Digital vouchers are the hands-down best reward for year-end giving – or any time of year giving – when you want to thank, congratulate, recognise and reward your staff, suppliers or customers.
From airtime and data, and unforgettable experiences to shopping at popular retailers and dining at popular restaurants, vouchers lead the way to the future of instant, personalised, digital rewards.
And why should that matter to you?
The future is all about fast – fast service, fast delivery – and personalised, thank you very much. If you’re looking to impress with digital voucher rewards, make sure you tick all those boxes.
The good news is you don’t need to shop around a dozen different vendors to get a fabulous range of choices. You can find all the choice, advice and tech you need right here at Achievement Awards Group.
We’ve got a range of vouchers from over 51 independent retailers across 9 categories. That’s a lot of choice. And they’re all brands that people know and love, so you’re already half-way to giving a meaningful reward. Meaningful in more ways than one.
Year-end rewards are all about expressing thanks and appreciation for the value people have added to your business over what has been another challenging year. But these people have friends and family who may not have fared so well and could use a hand with basic groceries or kid’s clothing or just data and airtime.
Vouchers are easy to share. And sharing adds even more meaning and value to a meaningful year-end reward.
Vouchers are great year-end rewards. But why stop there?
