Q.
What is the best way to reward and motivate my employees, reps or customers?
A. Travel is, by far, the best motivator or reward. Merchandise is a close second followed by all other forms of incentives such as gift certificates, credit cards, cash, premiums, etc. Travel has been proven to be the best motivator or reward by independent research and of course, our years of experience. Q. Should I offer group or individual travel awards? A. TRAVEL `round offers both group and individual travel programs. Now, however, individual travel is the most popular and preferred form of travel award. It offers the participant a choice of destinations and schedule flexibility. It is also more cost-effective and has no administration problems for you. Q. Why should I use TRAVEL `round individual travel awards? A. TRAVEL `round offers a unique collection of 100 deluxe travel packages in 10 different price levels. Simply award one or more levels, from weekend trips to worldwide dream vacations, and we take care of the rest. In fact since you don't pay for the trips until you need them, there is no risk. We offer "turnkey" programs to fit your budget and objectives. Q. Can I purchase the same trips cheaper from a travel agent or someone else? (This is always the number one question asked) A. Not if you compare "apples to apples". There are cheaper trips available and certificate programs that are sold on price alone but as you know, "you get what you pay for". Inexpensive travel certificate programs are sold mainly on price but most are never used by the recipient because of the numerous regulations, requirements, seasonal surcharges, reservation restrictions and limited room availability. Since you must purchase the certificates up front and the majority are never used by the recipient, these are actually a waste of money. If you go to a travel agent, the agent will usually book a trip based on a special promotion at a given time. The special promotion usually requires limited dates (is the price the same to visit Hawaii in January and July?), Saturday night stays, cancellation penalties, limited room availability and least desirable room location, blackout days, spotty reservation agent service and often deposits are required. With TRAVEL `round trips, the recipient can travel anyplace/anytime during the year, can cancel or change reservations without penalty (as long as we have not been required to make deposits) and be assured of a memorable travel experience. Our experienced customer service reservation personnel spend an average of 30-45 minutes with each recipient answering questions and making helpful suggestions and mail travel documents directly to the recipient...all in the courteous, professional manner you demand. Remember, don't look at price alone, let us show you how TRAVEL `round ALWAYS gives you more than what you pay for. Q. Can TRAVEL `round design a "turnkey" incentive or reward program? A. Yes. We can provide the individual travel packages as you need them, weekend packages, airline certificates, group travel, consumer and customer incentives, sports packages, mileage programs or merchandise catalogs. We can also offer a complete online incentive program. |
