Incentive Travel Website Enjoys Growing Success

CEALS REPORTS SUCCESS WITH SPECIALIZED INCENTIVE TRAVEL WEBSITE FOR BUSINESSES.

Corporate Events and Leisure Services LLC (CEALS) has been extensively involved in working with businesses to design, develop and implement well structured Employee Incentive and Customer Loyalty Programs that produce positive financial results. Recognizing there are fundamental differences in the meeting and incentive businesses, a little over a year ago CEALS President Jerry Vaughn decided to launch an independent website, http://www.incentivetraveladvisors.com/  to better focus on Incentive programs and make it easier for businesses to find helpful information and resources to build programs within their company. Incentive Travel Advisors was designed to complement http://www.meetingsonships.com/ the primary meeting website for CEALS.

After its first full year, Vaughn reports strong consumer interests in the site and a corresponding increase in incentive travel business with new corporate clients. Incentive Awards events have been conducted at all inclusive resorts in Mexico, on Caribbean, Alaska and  European cruises within the past year. Clients have typically been mid sized companies and come from a variety of industries including fast food, building supply companies and product marketing companies.  Each program has been met with strong participant enthusiasm and excitment and many of the companies are booking Awards programs for 2010 and 2011.

Each company reports strong results in terms of increased productivity, improved morale and increased sales. Employee support for the programs have been very strong and customers who participated in loyalty programs have demonstrated strong repeat and referral business patterns.

Properly structured and administered, Employee Incentive Awards and Customer Loyalty Programs don’t cost your business money, they make you money according to Jerry Vaughn, President of Inspired Journeys Inc. Tough economic times require innovation and creativity. While certainly not new, Incentive Awards and Customer Loyalty programs can provide increased sales, help you retain your best clients and make your business more successful while putting you a step ahead of the competition.

Incentive Awards Programs can do a number of things for a business according to Vaughn. Among them are:

• Increase sales and productivity by providing meaningful rewards that have high perceived value.

Research has shown well designed and executed Incentive Awards Programs can increase sales between 22% and 28% on average.

They promote loyalty and high morale with employee’s which in turn produces a more stable workforce. Reducing costly turnover will improve the bottom line.

The cost of the award in proportion to the increased sales volume is usually low leading to increased profitability of the company.

 Incentive travel programs work because they force companies to take a hard look at their products and services and the way they do business. They help companies identify specific challenges; design a strategy to meet those challenges and motivates key people to accomplish business goals. This is particularly important in difficult economic times according to Vaughn. Many of the best programs have been developed in tough times when companies look outside the box to find ways to effectively respond to these challenges.

Customer Loyalty Programs can build business, promote customer loyalty and increase your bottom line. Does Customer Loyalty Pay? A mere 5 % increase in customer retention can result in a 75% increase in customer value according to Fred Reichheld, author of "Loyalty Rules". This is an important reason to focus on building customer loyalty. A well structured and publicized customer loyalty program with key clients can stave off competition from new businesses in the marketing area.

In addition to useful information found on the website www.incentivetraveladvisors.com/ consulting services are available to assist companies in developing successful programs unique to their industry and company. Programs are designed to be highly personalized to the unique culture of the business, the objectives being sought and the personnel impacted by the program.
