Guusto helps HR leaders build recognition programs for frontline and office employees, so people feel inspired to do their best and never want to leave. Recipients get to choose where to redeem from thousands of merchant locations, and one day of clean water is donated with every gift sent makes a positive social impact. There are no markups, unclaimed rewards are credited back in full, and it’s free to get started.
Fond is a great way to incentivize your sales team during contests and rewards for top performers. Also, a great way to incentivize your partners such as referral sources and clients. I can’t think of anything where it’s not really appropriate as an offering. Great offering for employee vacation perks.
We held a balcony decorating contest and residents were rewarded with the ability to quickly and easily select the gift card that best suited their needs. I was awarded a gift card for performance at work and was to access the reward quickly. In both cases, it was easy and seamless for both sender and receiver.
Provides a long list of alternatives that make it easy to use your Fond points for the product/services you truly care about.
Very easy to redeem; select what you want to receive, and click redeem with the points/dollars requested. Typically, gift cards are provided within seconds.
Regularly rotate offerings so that you have many options throughout the year.
When first trying to select a gift card, I'd get an occasional error message, but other than that, it was pretty easy to use.
Getting more widespread with the types of awards that users can redeem is always a plus!
This may have changed since I last used Fond, but last time I tried using the system, the total points you had were tucked away in a somewhat obscure location.
We have not tested other products that offer such a way to award our employees for doing a fantastic job. Fond has been helping with all the necessary situations and the costs have been quite low. We have not looked into other products. I would recommend going with Fond because we have not found any quality issues with their service.
Ease of setup and use is the first and foremost thing that appealed to us to use Guusto. Employees had to sign up for Guusto which was a smooth process. Then the wide variety of Gift card selections played another key role in choosing Guusto over the other vendor. Smooth transitioning and setting up with our organization are the key benefits which helped us choose Guusto.
You can charge up your account for future use which is very handy, but if you're charging from a credit card, you'll want to load over $500 to avoid fees.
