MAYNARD, MA - Working Advantage, a provider of employee entertainment discount and reward programs to over 5,500 corporations nationwide, celebrated their fifth birthday with several thousand close friends on June 11, 2006. In honor of the milestone, a week-long celebration was held last month, giving registered members a chance to win over 30 prizes, including a grand prize trip for two to San Francisco, California.
Working Advantage not only commemorated five years of growth and success in the competitive employee services industry, but June also marked the second birthday of the Working Advantage Gift Certificate --an electronic gift and reward product used by corporations nationwide for employee anniversary awards, birthday gifts, customer incentives and more.
The week-long website party boasted twice the average number of unique sessions, with a 113% increase in new employee registrations and a 35% increase in ticket and gift certificate sales over 2005. Online shopping partner vendors such as Overstock.com and Omaha Steaks saw an even larger increase in sales, with a whopping 1179% increase compared to 2005.
Beginning on June 5, 2006, each registered Working Advantage member was entered into raffles and giveaways, starting with a years worth of Regal Entertainment Group Movie Tickets. The first day of the celebration also included free shipping offers on movie tickets and drew over three times as many unique visitors to the website than a typical day.
The festivities continued throughout the week with daily giveaways of Bake Me A Wish! Gourmet Cakes and $1000 in Working Advantage Gift Certificates. Each day featured a new raffle prize, including a $100 Overstock.com gift card, discount coupons for Dell(TM), a visit to an Anheuser-Busch Adventure Park for a party of eight (8), and a luxurious grand prize trip for two to San Francisco. The lucky winner of the grand prize, from Cary, North Carolina, will receive a prize package including free airfare, accommodations at the Fairmont San Francisco, two Go San Francisco(TM) Cards, a car rental through Alamo Rent A Car and a $100 SignatureDays.com gift card to enjoy the sights of the city.
A special daily newsletter, which attracted over 6,000 subscribers in just over one week, was provided to remind registered members about each days offers and raffle prizes, including special offers for free shipping and exclusive deals through Omaha Steaks. The celebration closed with a bonus giveaway of 100 Advantage Points awarded to every registered member.
Working Advantage pioneered discount ticket outsourcing in 1995 as the Corporate Movie Club, providing discount movie tickets to corporate employees and offering one of the first entertainment t and recreation programs specifically designed for large companies. Now, as a leader in outsourced work/life benefit programs, Working Advantage offers exclusive national and regional discounts on movie tickets, theme park tickets, hotel certificates, Broadway theatre, sporting events, seasonal ski tickets, gift cards, online shopping and more.
First launched in 2004, the Working Advantage Gift Certificate is available in many denominations, never expires and is emailed directly to recipients from Working Advantage. This product is a fresh and unique solution for companies with specific budgets, outdated catalog reward programs, or that simply need a new idea to spark attention.
