How the survey was conducted

We conducted our first survey three years ago and have added new questions to address an ever-evolving marketplace. We looked at trends in addition to adding some very interesting new data points for this year to address new features and use cases. Our study used a random selection of organizations all with revenue of more than one million dollars. We sent a series of four email invitations over a three-month period requesting participation in the 20-question online survey. We received over 1700 responses which we scrubbed to make sure no one company was over-represented. This process reduced the data set to 1,620 U.S. businesses. Of those 1620 businesses, 1,117 are currently using gift cards as rewards or incentives.

METHODOLOGY

How the survey sample was validated

Organizations with more than one respondent were interviewed to assess overall usage and eliminate departmental or siloed disparities in the survey results.
