What types of incentive programmes are out there?
The best way to categorize individual incentive programmes is to look at what their goal and purpose is, and they shouldn’t be mistaken for team building programmes, which are usually on the itinerary of classical group trips.
The most common types of incentive programmes in Carinthia are:
- Sales Incentive
The main goal of such programmes is to influence and motivate employees in the field of sales and thereby drive results, a typical example being a programme that only the salespeople with the best results can attend. That gives the activity some extra competitiveness within a corporation. - Rewards and Recognition
These programmes are a reward for a great team effort, usually carried out at the end of important strategic projects of a company. They are a big morale boost and are one of the most common forms of incentives. - Employee Motivation
The goal of such programmes is to strengthen team bonds, improve motivation in the workplace and eliminate conflicts within the team. The integral part of these programmes is strategic team building activities in connection with an authentic experience of the destination they take place in. - Customer Loyalty
A reward for the most loyal subscribers or partners who have achieved great sales results within the scope of your contract. By nature, this is one of the more exclusive types of incentive. - New Product Incentives
When a company launches a new product, an incentive programme is usually a great way to motivate the buyers. These programmes are a common thing in the automotive industry, where car companies organise a whole array of incentive programmes for journalists, sales representatives, GMs and the whole service network.
