Surviving Barbados & Incentive Structure
Well, this Sunday I’m heading off to Barbados with 53 or so affiliate folk from the UK courtesy of Affiliate Future and Foxy Bingo - A huge thank you to both!
Having never been to this part of the world (except for the Bahamas for the now defunct Affiliate Force cruise back in 2001) does anyone have any tips on surviving the week? I’ve heard all sorts of stories from alumni from the incentive over the last 3 years!
I’m looking forward to dusting off my PADI card and getting some diving in and exploring the Island a little with the Rum Ball rally!
For anyone looking to structure an affiliate incentive you’d be wise to take a look at how James and the team have handled the promotion to not only reward the very top affiliates who drive huge volumes but the up and coming affiliates who work equally hard for their merchants.
Structured incorrectly these incentives can do more harm than good so it’s nice to see someone getting it right. These extra incentives ranged from best use of creative, best increase in performance, top affiliate and PR i.e talking about the merchant on blogs, twitter and forums and other social media platforms.
I’m looking forward to spending some decent time with everyone next week, something which is often very difficult at our own events!
I only ever get invited every other year and I am sure it has something to do with with the Barbados police! This year is Frostie free!
There is no secret to survival, you simply drink none stop and soon the week will be over!
Enjoy!
Enjoy yourself mate. I won a place this year then had to give it up as I’m off to Turkey tonight. I think it’s a conspiracy by the missus!
Tom Quinn will give you tips on how to navigate your way home from the pub by following different palm trees.
Secret to survival is to not let Joe (cantbarsed) drive! If he does drive watch out for kids in the road.
More importantly watch out for Lee(getvisible) as he gets a little crazy behind the wheel, encouraged by Team Fun.
Probably safer to stay by the pool with some rum or beer.
Enjoy Matt.
