Thanks to research conducted by the Aberdeen Group, we know that reward-based incentive programs can outperform programs without rewards by 30%.¹
Mastercard and Visa prepaid cards are popular, desirable, and powerful incentives because they can be used everywhere the network's debit cards are accepted.
Plus, they are available in an array of plastic, virtual and mobile wallet-enabled formats, so they can be delivered exactly how your recipients prefer to receive them.
Up to four out of five people surveyed told us that a prepaid card is the most desirable reward for incentive programs.¹
Add your logo to the card to remind the cardholder that you gave them this reward. You can even add a personal touch by including the recipient’s name and a very brief message. And, if you’re looking for long-term incentive card, consider our reloadable options.
Two out of three employees would prefer a Mastercard or Visa prepaid card or merchant gift card over any other type of incentive.²
If your customers are online, you should be, too. That’s why 93% of incentive program managers say digital gift cards align well with corporate goals.¹
Our clients have seen an increase in loyalty program participation after adding gift and eGift cards to their redemption catalogs.
Last year, 61% of people we surveyed spent more—an average of $31.75 more-than the value of a reward card they received.³
Make sure you’re signing on with the right vendor. This checklist will help you compare your options.
