Is there any better destination for our HVAC client’s latest dealer incentive trip than a cool adventure in Iceland? Recently, our client took his top dealers on the adventure of a lifetime to express gratitude for their valued partnership and years of collaboration.
The Goal:
Of all the exciting destinations in the world, why choose Iceland for a travel incentive? The truth is, our client had some questions about this destination. Would the volcanic activity hinder activity opportunities? What group experiences does Iceland have to offer? As it turns out, Iceland remains an exciting and magical destination with so much to offer its visitors. When it came down to it, unique experience and adventure were top priorities for this group. Our client provides an annual incentive trip, so offering thrilling destinations with exciting experiences is at the top of his list. And Iceland checks all the boxes. It is otherworldly, spectacularly beautiful, and offers an abundance of one-of-a-kind experiences.
The Design:
Through the design and personalization from our team, this incentive was an opportunity for our client to reward their team through the luxury and adventure that Iceland has to offer. We worked with our client to develop a custom itinerary for the program that rewarded guests with once-in-a-lifetime experiences throughout Iceland. During the marketing phase of the program, guests can start to feel the excitement for their trip and personalized itinerary, which included welcome and farewell receptions, along with a variety of group excursions and activities. We provided detailed program marketing for our group, which included their own trip logo, personalized website, and email campaign that served to excite guests before their trip. Our client expressed that they have done incentives for decades, but our program marketing really set this year’s dealer incentive apart from the rest.
In addition to the itinerary and design, our team provided on-site management to ensure the program ran seamlessly. With any potential challenges that may arise, it’s important to have experienced professionals ready to assist our client and guests with any need they may have. For example, when guests on this program arrived near their hotel but needed additional guidance, our on-site team quickly stepped in, provided clear directions, and ensured a smooth check-in process. Thanks to their swift coordination, the program continued smoothly as an amazing experience for our client and guests.
