What Are Company Incentive Trips?

What are company incentive trips?

Company incentive trips are trips and experiences run by brands and companies to reward, motivate and incentivise key staff members, stakeholders and customers. These incentive trips might take place in the UK or abroad, and they can be awarded to either groups or individuals.

Who are company incentive trips for?

Company incentive trips are typically for high-performing staff members who have met or exceeded their targets and KPIs. These staff members are often, though not always, in sales focused roles.

While the majority of company incentive trips are for internal staff members, this is not always the case. Incentive trips can also work well for third-party sales staff, such as retail/hospitality staff who are being rewarded for selling a particular brand or product.

What makes a good company incentive trip?

When it comes to designing the perfect company incentive trip, destination should be the first consideration. Whether it’s an overnight break in the UK, a two-night trip to Europe, or a full-week long haul itinerary to a tropical island, picking the right destination for the target audience is essential in making your incentive as appealing and effective as possible.

Once you’ve nailed the destination, getting the itinerary right is the next major consideration. Balancing tours/activities with free time, combining luxury with authentic local experiences, and providing a good range of options to ensure there’s something for everyone – the Element team can help to design company incentive trips which are perfectly tailored to your guests!

Where’s the perfect destination for a company incentive trip?

Depending on the brand and target audience, almost anywhere! Some recent favourites have included Iceland, Miami, Bali and the Amalfi Coast, but budget-stretching weekend break itineraries in cities like Barcelona, London and Paris also work brilliantly.

If you prefer to stay closer to home, UK destinations like London, Edinburgh and the Cotswolds offer fantastic opportunities for luxurious company incentive trips too.

How can Element help with company incentive trips?

As a dedicated prize and incentive agency, Element provides an end-to-end service for company incentive trips. We use our extensive destination knowledge to create the perfect tailor-made itinerary for each client’s requirements, and handle all of the execution to ensure every trip runs smoothly. This includes the option for on-site management, with our expert event managers attending to ensure each incentive trip runs without a hitch.

What should I do if I’m thinking about a company incentive trip for next year?

If you’re considering a company incentive trip for next year, drop the Element team a line today to chat through options and discuss the perfect destination. Even if the trip dates are a little while away, it’s never too early to start planning, especially if you’d like to do a site visit to your chosen destination in advance.

Element London organised our Ibiza trip from start to finish, and everything was absolutely spot on! From the booking and hotel selection to the restaurant recommendations, every detail was perfectly arranged. They are highly organised, responsive and genuinely helpful. The whole experience was seamless, and we couldn’t have asked for better service. A huge thank you to Olivia for making our prize trip so special! Highly recommend! ??

I recently won a competition with Vodafone VeryMe Rewards, and the delivery was managed by Element. I am absolutely blown away by their incredibly fast and professional service. I won the prize early on Thursday morning and received an immediate response later that day. Everything was processed so quickly that by Sunday morning, the entire delivery was already complete and at my home. The communication was top-notch, and the whole process was completely hassle-free. Big thanks to Claudia for her amazing and efficient help! Highly recommended!

Am Ende wird alles Gut! Ich habe bei TK Maxx beim Treasur Punkte sammeln die Kinogutscheine gewonnen und das Gewinnspiel wurde von Element organisiert. Zuerst ging das fix, Element hat sich bei mir im August 26 gemeldet und wollte einige Eckdaten, um den Gewinn zuzustellen. Dann passierte erst mal nix und nur immer nochmal Nachfragen... Ich hatte die Hoffnung im Oktober schon fast aufgegeben und wollte nur noch einmal nachfragen, ob denn nun endlich was passieren würde - da antwortete mir ein sehr netter Herr, der sich zunächst für die Verzögerungen entschuldigte und mir anschließend innerhalb eines Tages meinen Gewinn auf mein Paypalkonto ausgezahlt hat! Wow was für eine tolle Überraschung!
