Design Paths™

The myriad of choices in rewards program structure and design can be overwhelming. Rather than jump in, head first in an attempt to answer the tactical questions of what kind of rewards and program guidelines may be required, Reward Paths takes a step back and works with you to define the strategic issues which got you looking for this web site in the first place.

  • What are we trying to accomplish and why?
  • All customers, best customers, employees, sales force, channel partners?
  • What change in behavior can we reasonably anticipate, from which segment, over what period of time?
  • How do we quantify the business impact of that change?
  • What does the competitive rewards landscape look like? How can we differentiate yet still support our brand, our mission, our channel partners and associates?

Reward Paths has developed a series of proprietary design tools and structural program considerations to help you understand the choices, the likely impacts, the reasons behind the program rules and elements and the risks associated with each decision. We have enlisted the support of Marketing Strategists to deliver experienced-based, yet affordable, loyalty program design and consulting services that can help you navigate your way down the optimal path.

We know that if your program fails to change behavior in a measurable, positive (financially) way, then all you've done is increased the cost of doing business!

Design Paths can be provided as a stand-alone consulting service or as a bundled element to an integrated rewards program plan and implementation. Design Paths services include the following:

  • Assessment – Is a loyalty or rewards program right for you?
  • Re-engineer – How can your current rewards program be invigorated, refreshed or revised to deliver incremental results?
  • Recalibrate – Do you really make any money or achieve any measurable benefit under your current program structure?
  • Audit – Do you have the technology, the operational processes, the reports/measures, the personnel and the rewards content that you need to achieve objectives?
  • Retreat – How can we exit from the programs we currently have, which clearly don't work, without alienating our best customers?
  • Foundations – A complete design and operational plan for a new program, including relevant analytical and technological support

Design Paths services include specific deliverables for a fixed consulting engagement fee. We are faster and considerably less expensive than the established, big name players in the loyalty and rewards marketplace. We also bring global perspectives to the task.
