What will have the most impact with your audience?Verify how an incentive is earned: What do participants need to do, and how will it be checked to make sure it actually happened?Determine your metric for success: What do you need to see &#8211; increased sales, less employee turnover &#8211; that will show that the program is working? What type of reports will you want to view?How often will you pay out awards: Weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, annually?Pilot Program: What groups should you start the incentive program with to work out the kinks and get feedback?Promotion: How are you going to get the word out about the incentive program initially &#8211; and then ongoing &#8211; to ensure participation?Evaluate: After running the pilot incentive program, what will you look at to retool the program for mass distribution?Launch: Have you got everything in order? Is your incentive program manager fully prepared? Does the program work? Is your incentive award provider geared up and ready to deliver?&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;About Jack MartinJack Martin, Partner at Payback Incentives, has held a variety of positions over the years in PR, advertising and marketing.
