With our years of experience in event planning we can theme an entire incentive trip or conference to meet your needs. Perhaps you'd like to place the emphasis on fun, problem solving or teambuilding. The possibilities are endless...give back to the environment by tagging endangered rhino in South Africa, outwit the competition during a game of "Survivor" in the jungles of Panama or watch the sunrise from the Acropolis! Our experienced planners work with you to create an innovative event that is perfect for your organization. Rest assured whatever destination you choose for your group, your event will be original, creative and one-of-a-kind.
In keeping with today's technology needs, we can register all guests online via a website, which is custom designed to meet your requirements. We can capture any information from guest nicknames to their shirt sizes. Our basic custom site includes a welcome page, a program itinerary, FAQ page and registration page. We can also include blog updates and links to destination and hotel sites, so guests are knowledgeable about their destination prior to their departure. Once they've registered, guests receive an immediate electronic receipt confirmation. The information collected from guests is downloaded to our comprehensive database, which allows us to provide flexible data management and detailed reporting to your company as needed.
The BenchMark Meetings & Incentives' design team has years of experience creating innovative guest mailings and on-site trip materials. Some of their capabilities include:
Since our air transportation team deals directly with your biggest asset, your trip winners and/or meeting attendees, our air professionals have been trained to focus on service. It is crucial that your guests be treated courteously and that every effort is made to meet their needs. We don't "farm out" your group's air reservations. We are proud of our "in-house" team of professionals and we are sure that your guests will notice and appreciate the quality of service they receive from us. BenchMark's air transporation department contracts the best group airfares based on your attendees' home cities.
Incentive and recognition travel is a powerful and successful motivational tool. If you're looking for a way to increase sales, reward your customers or promote teamwork within your organization, an incentive travel program is a proven method of achieving those goals. It is an exceptional means of recognizing achievement and consistently results in increased sales, higher profits and unwavering loyalty. Our experienced staff plan and execute unique and exciting travel programs and treat all your attendees with "kid gloves", offering them a level of comfort and service they would not be able to duplicate if traveling on their own.
BenchMark can also save you money through our industry contacts, superior negotiating skills and purchasing power. Additionally, consolidating your incentive management allows you to focus your attention on day-to-day business while we take care of all the details from site selection through post-trip reconciliation. BenchMark provides integrated land and air service for your incentive program in addition to managing your registration process and all vendor communications. You won't need to communicate with additional suppliers regarding any of your incentive details.
The BenchMark Team is ready to fulfill all your Incentive and Meeting needs.
