OnFulfillment Blog | Promotional Swag (9)

For centuries, summer weekends have been spent going outside and taking a break from work. However, with new technology and new reasons to stay inside, it makes it hard to step away from your desk and give your brain a chance to recharge. As a team lead, this should scare you.

If you’ve read our earlier blog on rewards programs, you know how popular these types of “recognition events” are. More importantly, you understand how difficult these programs can be to successfully execute. Meticulous planning is an absolute requirement.

One thing this earlier blog did not cover was how rewards are claimed and distributed. That’s because this phase of the program deserves its own careful analysis.

Before the pandemic, the giveaways that we saw were more of the same products. Different pens, stress balls, straws, and more stuff that people who received them would likely use once or not at all. Products that serve little to no use end up getting tossed and thrown into landfill (unless they are an eco-friendly product of course).

Whether you plan on drinking water, lemonade, or alcohol this summer, make sure you have what you need to fill and refill all season long! One of the many things we always forget to pack is something to hydrate ourselves with. This makes drinkware an essential product for every company’s promotional marketing catalog.

Rewards programs are growing increasingly popular with businesses today. Whether to recognize internal accomplishments, attract new customers, or retain existing ones, such programs are surprisingly effective.
