Digg it UP - Fundraising Reward Programs
CeMAP training is the first step to becoming a mortgage adviser, and some people are now looking at this step in the light of the recent increases in inflation and the corresponding increases in interest rates being imposed by the Bank of England. The question on everyone’s mind is, “Is CeMAP training still the key to a lucrative career in the mortgage industry, or has the demand dried up?”It is important when viewing the role of a CeMAP trained mortgage adviser, to e
Big customer rewards
On sales from a catalog, consider motivating customers to make bigger buys by giving prizes for the biggest orders. Good coupons always work. Example: free car wash with a $50 order. Obviously, work with a local car wash on this promotion.
Volunteer rewards
Don’t forget to reward your volunteers. You want them to come back, don’t you? Select an appropriate reward for various levels of participation or at a minimum, do a reward party or luncheon.
Appreciation
Show your appreciation to all facets of your organization and supporter base. Be sure you do fun things that aren’t fundraisers. For exa
In the insurance sector the job of a risk manager in simple terms is to work out how likely someone is to claim and what premium would be required should they need to pay out on the policy.An example of risk management in work could be, given the recent changes in the UK law, anyone found using a mobile phone whilst driving is liable to a fine and penalty points on their license. The idea follows anyone who has been found using their mobile and received penalty points is more likely to have an acciden
Be sure to set the initial reward level low enough so that at least 50% of your sales force gets a direct reward. Group awards will also stimulate additional sales, but not as much as individual rewards.
Use merchant prizes
Contact your local merchants for better prizes that mean more to your sellers. Work deals for movie passes, merchandise discounts, gift certificates, miniature golf, theater trip for top ten sellers, etc.
Structure rewards fairly
Design your program so that everyone is rewarded proportionately and is incented strongly toward winning one.
Prize preview
Show off what sellers can win for different levels of achievement. Build a “want” or desire in each of your participants to earn one or more of those prizes.
Personal goal
Motivate each salesperson with a self-selected personal goal stated in front of their peer group. Tie a reward to the achievement of that goal.
Recognition
Never underestimate the power of being praised before your peer group for doing a good job. Consider having a group awards ceremony. Award plaques are a nice touch, particularly if you can get them at a discount (remember the influence of your organization in other areas).
Offer valuable rewards
Give awards for success that really have value. Nobody wants junk. Skip trinkets and work with your community to come up with better prizes that don’t subtract from your net profit. Example: $5 coupon for a local fun center such as miniature golf, bowling, laser tag, etc.
Progressive rewards
Offer ever-increasing levels of rewards. Allow roll-up combination of rewards into one big one. For instance, a seller might select a basic prize for each level of success or one larger prize for his ultimate success.
Party rewards
Ice cream, pizza, movies, a group trip… All of these and more can be great motivators and increase competition between sub-groups.
Use a wacky reward
Have key organizational figures promise to do something funny is the goal is met. Examples: The coach has to shave his head, the principal has to dance with the school mascot at the pep rally, all the second grade teachers will dress like clowns on Friday, the youth minister will sing off key a chosen song. Ask your sellers for suggestions!
Fun rewards
Offer a Cream Pie Attack party to all sellers reaching a certain level. Equip multiple tables with paper plates full of shaving cream to either attack each other or the coach, the youth minister, the troop leader, etc.

Relationship building and networking does not end with the contract being signed or a handshake. The key to success with current and future clients is following up. Here are three ways to stay in touch and be remembered long after the initial encounter is over:Send a handwritten note. The day after you meet a potential client, write him/her a not stating how much you enjoyed meeting him. Invite him to meet you for a breakfast or lunch so you can get to know each other better. When friendships form, b

How important are staff to your business? That’s sort of a basic question, because everyone knows that without staff you can’t do your own job. But really, how important do we consider our staff? After all, they haven’t been to school as long as we have, they don’t know as much, they don’t make the money we do. Shouldn’t it be easy to replace them when we need to?It’s easy to fall into the trap of under-rating the importance of staff to a business; but it’s at least as bad to have the wrong staff i

Selling your own fragrance is complex, rewarding and profitable. Complex because there are so many items to be considered bottles, labels, packaging, shipping, size and price.Rewarding because there is nothing quite like the buzz of seeing your product in a quality store being bought by a customer. Profitable because if your program is successful you can expect to sell a large number of bottles depending on the way or ways you have chosen to market your perfume.Perhaps the most important consi

For example: offer discounts on tickets to athletic events, group outings, parties, barbecue night, etc. These fun activities will help build the camaraderie useful for future fundraisers as well as for getting those volunteers to come back again.
Summary
The proper use of an incentive program will definitely maximize your results. Plan well to motivate your participants, encourage repeat business, reward your volunteers, and build your support within the community.
If you want the best results, don’t settle for less than the best incentive program. Get your sellers imagining themselves winning awards and collecting rewards. Now that’s motivation!
