Here are a few things to focus on for your next incentive trip. With fun information about the trip and resources all in one place, these solutions will give employees something exciting to look forward to and make life easier for all involved: Recommendations

- Monthly/weekly updates with the option for employees to subscribe
2. Online RSVPs
- Landing pages for online registration

- Builds a complete profile with registration information as well as survey data (likes/dislikes, feedback from last year, etc.)
- Time saving for employees; no need to provide information we already have
4. Targeted Email Campaigns
- Personalized content tailored to recipients for clear communications
- Specified contact groups (for example, "golfers" or "snorkelers"); segment by office location, job role, flight block, and more

- Easiest way to provide live updates and notify attendees of any changes
- Most event apps are available in offline mode, so attendees can download itineraries before leaving the country (if applicable)
