Combination products have proven advantages but fixe t lasts well beyond the award presentation, carrying over through their experience and the memories it creates.

Combination pro y turning to experience gifts is GTSI, an enterprise services and solutions provider. Bridgette Atkinson, Senior VP of Human Resources, began using experiences last year for GTSI’s quarterly “Unsung Heroes” awards.

With essentially the same budget, we’re giving our deserving employees something that is cutting edge, distinctive and memorable. It has been an o easingly used in the product life cycle management. Even the companies having product patents are trying to extend their product life cycle through the combi tstanding success.” For this rewards program, GTSI used experience gift packages which offered the recipients a choice: a countryside tour in a vintage biplane, herding longhorn cattle at a nearby dude ranch, indulging in a luxurious day at the spa or nation products and maximize the revenues.
