Motivate and Rewards Employees with a Points Program

allison — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 02:22:57 +0000

The i-Points program through Pinpoint is proving to be an effective method for motivating and rewarding customers, employees, and/or distributors. This fully-customisable incentive program is an easy-to-use online system that awards points for specific criteria. The accumulated points can then be redeemed for rewards chosen by the program manager; rewards often include gift cards, travel, products, or experiences.

Pinpoints clients have successfully used the i-Points system for a number of applications, including offering loyalty programs to their customers and motivation systems for their employees. The i-Points system consists of a general process that is proven and consistent, but then multiple components of the system are fully customisable so that they can be uniquely tailored to a given client’s situation.

First, the experienced Pinpoint staff works with the client to determine the goal of the incentive and rewards program. Activities or processes are linked with points that can be accumulated, and the rate at which points are earned is specified by the client. The i-Points system is fully automated in an online environment, which ensures convenient access at any time for both the users of the i-Points program and the i-Points administrators. The client also selects the point redemption award levels and the rewards themselves, which can vary from specific products, travel awards, and prizes to gift cards, including Universal Gift Cards that feature the client’s own branding.

The primary uses of the i-Points system are to attract, retain, and reward customers and to reward and incentivise employees. Many i-Points clients use the i-Points system to motivate their sales force and their call centre staff. In addition, some clients have also found the i-Points system to be useful in rewarding their vendors, which has lead to to improved overall vendor relations.

Clients who are currently using the i-Points system have noted a number of benefits, including:

• Increased achievement of sales goals by salespeople;

• Improved employee productivity levels;

• Increased sales revenues;

• Higher scores in customer satisfaction surveys;

• Enhanced employee satisfaction;

• Better relationships with vendors; and

• Improved retention of company employees.

In particular, one i-Points client notes that within their first year after establishing an i-Points program, their i-Points member participation increased by 73%, and their sales increased by 18% over previous levels.

Partners to Win Big with New Fuji Xerox Initiative

Partners to win big with new Fuji Xerox initiative

Kansha program promises big awards for a partner’s hard work

Fuji Xerox has annoucned a new rewards scheme, called Kansha, a Japanese word for appreciation.

The vendor will actively encourage partners to spend points, with leftover points after six months of accumulation being tradeable simple gift vouchers, Monsbourgh said.

“This is not a program we want people to accumulate points with. We are hoping that people use the points to gain a sense of reward,” he said.

The program is available to all channel partners and their employees who sell eligible Fuji Xerox printers.

Under the program, partners earn points on sales of eligible Fuji Xerox printers, which can be redeemed for more than 400 rewards including homewares, gift vouchers, experiences, fine dining, electronics and travel. The program replaces a Mastercard program the vendor had in place previously.

Fuji Xerox marketing manager, Brad Monsbourgh, said its goal was to build better relationships with partners, by making it relatively easy to accumulate enough points to earn rewards.

“For example, selling 10 of our volume laser printers can win a partner a flight, 10 small office printers will earn a digital camera, and just one high-end laser printer a month over six months will earn a digital camcorder,” Monsbourgh said.

Participating partners are required to become Kansha members through online registration at www.kanshaclaims.com.au or to find out more about Pinpoint’s i-Points program click here.
