Incentives $32 Billion Strong… and Growing

US Companies shelled out 32.7 billion dollars on incentive merchandise in 2006, according to the Incentive Federation’s latest marketplace study.
Promo’s 2007 Premiums and Incentives survey confirms the robust growth
trends showing:

• 35.4% of companies use consumer/customer incentive programs
(14% plan to create one within a year), and 28% use employee
incentive programs.

• Nearly half (48%) report that consumer incentive budgets will increase this year, and 43% report that employee incentive spending will increase.

This is impressive growth. Merchandise rewards provide immediate gratification, and have more impact than cash rewards. They also produce memorable results. They help companies achieve a wide range of goals, including higher revenue and market share, improved margins and profitability, better customer retention and greater brand differentiation.
