Big Splurge Awards can be used in conjunction with any sales contest, incentive program or recognition initiative with a minimum budget of $500 per award. Although the majority of Big Splurge Awards have a face value under $5,000, larger awards are not uncommon.
Big Splurge Awards provide recipients with the opportunity to enjoy a custom-tailored vacation with no restrictions whatsoever. This unprecedented degree of choice and flexibility is what makes them so desirable and explains why we often hear the comment, "This is too good to be true."
Big Splurge Awards have far more going for them than their "desirability quotient." What truly sets them apart is their "recognition quotient."
Each Big Splurge Award is created with a specific individual in mind. The result of this highly personalized approach is a level of recognition that cash bonuses, gift cards, and generic, pre-packaged travel rewards cannot approach.
Cost Considerations
Because they are not subject to payroll taxes (Unemployment, FICA, & Social Security) and 401K matches, Big Splurge Awards are usually less expensive than cash bonuses. This fact bears repeating: The total cost of a Big Splurge is usually less expensive than the total cost of a cash bonus.
Presentation
Big Splurge Awards can be designed as slideshows and delivered via e-mail or produced in booklet form. Big Splurge Award booklets are spiral bound and come with matching envelopes that are custom-made for us in Nepal. They are very distinctive. Sample award booklets are available upon request.
Because Big Splurge Awards are produced entirely in-house, we control the turnaround time. Since our inception, we’ve created thousands of Big Splurge Awards and have yet to miss a single deadline.
Applications
Big Splurge Awards are perfect for sales contests, incentive programs, and any type of employee recognition. They are perfect for loyalty marketing programs, performance improvement initiatives, service awards, retirement gifts, and sweepstakes prizes. Although our primary focus is on business applications, we’ve also created Big Splurge Awards for birthdays, weddings, and holiday gifts.
Fulfillment
Redeeming a Big Splurge Award is a highly personalized, "high-touch" experience. Each award recipient works one-on-one with an experienced travel consultant who takes care of everything from soup to nuts. In addition to issuing airline tickets and booking the hotel, our travel consultants also handle such details as tee times, spa appointments, theater tickets, restaurant reservations, private guides, airport transfers, visas, travel insurance, and special requests.
Fine Print
There is no fine print. There are no minimum purchase requirements, no deposits, and no contracts associated with Big Splurge Awards. Expiration dates are not an issue because Big Splurge Awards never expire. Furthermore, no payment is required until after you’ve seen and approved the award.
