1. The Gift of Choice
The best motivational gifts for your sales team are the ones they choose themselves. Let your staff select their own custom gifts–including branded apparel, travel accessories, drinkware, tech items and more–with an employee redemption store (aka an online company store for employees). Promo codes and budgets make it easy to provide your salespeople with the custom rewards and non-monetary perks they want, while also reducing environmental waste and cutting costs at the same time.
The 21st century version of a company gift catalog, an online company store for employees is the easiest and most cost-effective way to distribute team gifts and employee engagement gifts.
