Incentive contests drive more than sales success — they serve as powerful catalysts for advancing critical business objectives.
Whether fostering loyalty among participants, instilling lasting motivation, or strengthening relationships, these contests play a key role in realizing multifaceted goals. Our client reflected on the success of the trip, sharing, “I was sure that the trip was a huge success, but these results are even better than I expected. I am so pleased with how the trip was received by our customers.”
To measure the broader impact of their incentive experience, a post-program survey was sent to attendees of the well-earned rewards trip, with notable results.
For this client, their incentive contest significantly bolstered positive associations with their brand, as an overwhelming 100% of participants confirmed that the experience significantly strengthened their bond with the company. Participants felt embraced by the “company family,” valuing the opportunity to interact with dealers and colleagues on a personal level, noting that “trips like this bring everyone together” and foster a sense of unity. They also shared that the events not only honored their achievements, but also provided them with a generous amount of personal relaxation time at a luxury resort.
And the enthusiasm doesn’t end there — 100% of participants expressed heightened motivation, fueled by their trip experience, to strive for success and qualify for the next year’s contest.
Here are just a few of the glowing responses from the post-event survey:
“We would be disappointed if the trip happened again, and we just missed it by not making the threshold. This will cause us to sell more to hopefully qualify again for the next one!”
“We sell for three different companies and have never been rewarded or thanked before… this trip was incredible and definitely felt like an appropriate thank you. It showed that that they are committed to dealers who are just as committed to them.”
The meticulous planning support provided by Achieve received unanimous praise, with 100% of participants sharing that Achieve met their needs pre-trip and on-site. Impressively, nearly 80% of attendees awarded their trip experience as a perfect 5/5 rating.
This collective satisfaction ensured that our client and their winners left feeling not just fulfilled, but eagerly anticipating future experiences. As one participant stated, “We want to be on the next trip in 2024!”
On top of all the raving reviews from the trip winners’ perspectives, our client shared incredible feedback as well. “From start to finish, I always felt like we were Achieve’s most important client. Then to find out that our group was one of the smaller clients they support totally impressed me. How they treated our partnership re-energized me on how we can give even more personalized attention to our customers.”
