Make your wellness program more appealing with digital gift cards

There’s a reason gift cards have been at the top of wish lists for the last 14 years—they’re desirable. Whether your goal is to increase program participation or attract new clients, gift card incentives can help you drive results.

When you work with us, you have access to 1,000+ of the most popular gift cards, prepaid cards, and charitable donations. Our reward solutions make it easy to send and track rewards and incentives in one free web portal—or integrate our reward catalog into your app or platform.

Why gift cards?

To effectively attract employees and drive engagement, your corporate wellness program needs a powerful motivator. Here’s why gift cards are a win-win option.

People like having a choice

When it comes to receiving rewards, people love having a choice. And the ability to choose is exactly what gift cards provide. Our reward catalog is filled with 1,000+ of the most popular gift card brands to ensure there’s something for every employee.

Gift cards offer digital advantages

Digital gift cards arrive instantly, making recipient satisfaction immediate. Plus, when you work with us, there’s no need to maintain spreadsheets or manually track data. Our built-in reports can be quickly downloaded at any time.

Gift cards are budget-friendly

Another benefit comes down to budget. Because 100% of your budget goes to the reward—not to fees—gift cards are a budget-friendly solution. You don’t even need a large budget for your program to be successful. Many of our customers start out small.

How professionals use our incentive solutions

Gift cards are win-win incentives for employees—whether you’re the owner of a wellness platform, an insurance provider, or a professional at an enterprise organization. Here’s how customers are using our incentive solutions to easily deliver gift cards.

Wellness platform owners

Gift cards are the perfect way to add value to your wellness app or platform—and attract new customers! If you’re struggling to find an incentive product that’s supported by your proprietary platform and technology, our Rewards as a Service (RaaS) API is a great solution. Our API can help your company leverage automation by powering incentives in your existing app or platform.

Health insurance providers

Health insurance providers often come to us looking for two things: an incentive solution they can integrate into their in-house program or an incentive solution they can use to send stipends directly to employees in a group plan. We offer solutions for both:

  • Our Rewards as a Service (RaaS) API is a great solution for in-house wellness programs—it can help your company leverage automation by powering incentives in your existing app or platform.
  • Tango—our free, self-serve web portal—is the perfect solution for sending stipends to employees in a group plan. With the Tango portal, you can easily order, send, and track incentives in one place.

With Reward Link, you can quickly and easily send employees a choice of the most popular gift cards, instantly through email. Our email templates can be fully customized with your company’s branding and messaging.

Wellness case study: Tango and Overcoming U

Overcoming U is a boutique wellness firm that provides health and well-being courses to employees at companies of all sizes. With its easy-to-use learning management system, Overcoming U can reach all employees, regardless of their location, shift, or work environment. With seven individual courses—ranging from financial well-being to resilience building—employees learn how to build heathier lifestyles.

Challenges

Overcoming U provides four- and six-week courses that employees must complete in the allotted time. A challenge it faces is getting employees to participate and complete the full course. “When my clients provide gift card incentives to employees, the completion rate increases dramatically,” explains Heather Sayers Lehman, CEO of Overcoming U.

Before working with Tango, Heather’s clients offered physical gift cards, which presented challenges. “It was time consuming, as well as a major security issue to protect the financial investment,” she explains. In addition, there were times when the employee experience suffered.

“Because we offer customer service, we played the middleman for employees with gift card issues—even though we were unable to directly help them. It was a disappointing experience for employees to be handed off to someone else.”

Overcoming U’s solution

By using our digital incentive solutions, Overcoming U has streamlined the delivery of rewards and improved its recipient experience.

The Tango portal

Leveraging Tango—our free, self-serve web portal—Overcoming U started independently ordering, sending, and tracking e-gift cards in one easy place.

Reward Link

Using Reward Link, our most popular incentive solution, Overcoming U sends many employees a choice of gift cards instantly through email.

1,000+ popular e-gift cards

With over 1,000 e-gift cards to choose from, Overcoming U builds reward catalogs that excite the employees it serves. “They love getting to choose,” explains Heather.

Customer support

Our support teams offer assistance to both Overcoming U and its recipients, so Heather isn’t left fielding redemption questions or troubleshooting technical issues.

The Value of Working with Tango Card

Here’s what Heather has found to be most valuable in our partnership.

Program engagement

“We see a much higher completion rate with gift card incentives. Our clients also receive more positive feedback from employees, who no longer have to visit an HR office to pick up a gift card. Their employees love getting to choose their gift card versus being assigned a specific type.”

Time saved

“We save our clients a tremendous amount of time and hassle by helping them avoid a constant revolving door of employees coming to pick up their gift cards. Because we handle all of the customer service for employee questions and confusion, they can be hands off through the entire process.”

Overcoming U’s results

Completion rate

The industry average for an open online course is 10%. Overcoming U’s completion rate is:

Overcoming U offers $25 direct incentives and a weekly drawing worth the same value.

Administrative improvements

While working with Tango, Overcoming U has experienced the following improvements:

  • Reduction in time spent managing and fulfilling rewards
  • Happier reward recipients
  • Faster reward delivery

“We have become a one-stop shop for our clients. Not only do we provide marketing collateral, sign-up platform, learning management system, and customer service, we also provide incentive distribution. HR and benefits professionals are extremely busy, and we streamline the process,” explains Heather.

This case study featuring Overcoming U is based on a customer survey we distributed in October 2020 through TechValidate, a third-party research service.

From saving time and money to improving engagement and customer experiences—here’s why our clients work with us.

Of the surveyed professionals that work with us, 88% have saved time and 68% have saved money.

What other professionals are saying

We reward our employees for completing certifications, specialized training, and customer satisfaction scores. Tango makes it faster to reward our staff and offers them flexibility to choose what cards they want. It has been a great resource for us. We have loved this value.
We provide health and well-being courses for employers. Employees take the courses and earn a digital gift card as their incentive for completing the course. Tango helps me offer something that my clients (municipalities and school districts) would not be able to fulfill. I offer card fulfillment as part of our client satisfaction so they do not have to distribute.
Love being able to give our employees the option to choose their gift.
