Prior to Awardco, our process was clunky. Our reps were spending hundreds of hours stacking gifts, delivering them, packaging them. Now that we've been using Awardco, they've been able to focus their [time] elsewhere.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can Awardco support on-site event distribution, raffles, or attendee incentives?
 

Teams can use physical award codes, QR codes, or other configured distribution methods to provide a reward during an onsite event, raffle, recognition moment, or campaign activation.

These methods can preserve an in-person experience while helping the organization track issuance and redemption in a central system. Teams can also use event-specific rules, reward values, or catalogs when the campaign requires a defined experience.

The required identity, registration, redemption, and fraud-prevention controls depend on the event design. Before launch, confirm how codes are created, distributed, limited, redeemed, expired, and reported.

Can recipients choose their own gift, or must Marketing select one item?
 

Depending on the program, teams can offer a fixed item, a curated collection, a branded store, a gift card, a points-based experience, or a choice of available rewards.

A fixed item may be appropriate for a speaker gift, event kit, or campaign with a specific brand objective. A curated catalog or reward choice may be better when recipients have different preferences, locations, sizes, or shipping needs.

The available products, providers, currencies, countries, redemption methods, and custom-catalog options vary. Teams should confirm whether the selected experience is available to the intended recipients before promoting it.

Can Awardco support customer, prospect, partner, and speaker gifting?
 

Teams can use Awardco for customer appreciation, prospect outreach, partner programs, speaker thank-you gifts, event follow-up, and other external gifting use cases.

Recipients may receive a branded item, gift card, reward link, custom gift, experience, or another approved option. A team can also create a campaign-specific experience that reflects the event theme, account relationship, brand standards, or audience preference.

External gifting may require different recipient information, approval rules, invoicing, privacy safeguards, shipping processes, or tax and compliance review than employee recognition. Those requirements should be confirmed for the campaign and recipient country.

Can Awardco support swag for conferences, trade shows, and field events?
 

Awardco can help teams source, organize, and distribute branded merchandise for conferences, trade shows, onsite meetings, customer events, and other marketing activities.

A team may order a defined quantity of items for an event, make branded products available through a company or campaign store, or use an on-demand model for selected products. Common considerations include product quality, logo and design requirements, quantities, sizes, countries, shipping destinations, packaging, lead times, and replenishment.

Bulk orders, print-on-demand programs, branded stores, and custom corporate-gifting services may follow different workflows and commercial terms. Teams should confirm the appropriate fulfillment model for each event.

What can Events and Marketing teams use Awardco for?
 

Events and Marketing teams can use Awardco for event swag, conference and trade-show giveaways, customer appreciation, prospect and partner gifting, campaign incentives, speaker or sponsor gifts, webinar follow-up, branded stores, and other approved reward experiences.

Programs can support a one-time event, a recurring field-marketing motion, an account-based campaign, an internal marketing initiative, or a broader corporate-gifting strategy. Teams can use physical merchandise, digital gift cards, experiences, charitable options, or other available rewards depending on the audience and campaign goal.

The right setup depends on whether the recipient is an employee, customer, prospect, partner, speaker, attendee, or another external audience. Recipient eligibility, data handling, tax treatment, and approval requirements should be defined before launch.
