Online Voting for Incentive's Platinum Partners Awards Now Available
February 19, 2009
Voting for Incentive's 17th annual Platinum Partners awards program has opened. This year, Incentive has simplified the evaluation process by having it exclusively online at www.incentivemag.com/voteplatinum. The deadline for voting is June 22, 2009.

More than 65,000 Incentive readers will be asked to vote for their preferred suppliers based on the following criteria:

Merchandise and Gift Card Suppliers
• Motivational appear of the product line
• Customer service and speed of fulfillment
• Degree of promotional support and customization opportunities

Incentive Travel Suppliers
• Motivational appeal of the destination, property or travel service
• Quality of professionalism of the service
• Degree of creativity and promotional support

Winners will be announced in the October 2009 issue. The Platinum Partners Award Ceremony and Reception, will take place September 30 during The Motivation Show in Chicago.

"Without the continued insight and survey participation of our readers, this award would not be the industry benchmark that it is today," says Nella Veldran, vice president and group publisher of The Travel Group and Incentive magazine. "By recognizing outstanding suppliers with their votes, our readers motivate them to continue to offer exceptional products and services. Congratulations to the 2008 winners—their pursuit of excellence elevated the entire industry!"

"Victorinox Swiss Army Inc., was honored to be chosen once again in multiple categories as a Platinum Partner by the readers of Incentive magazine," says Jeff Thompson, vice president of sales—corporate markets for Victorinox Swiss Army Inc. The company won in four separate merchandise categories, including Clocks & Watches and Tools & Safety Equipment. "We are celebrating our 125th anniversary of Victorinox in 2009 and we're very proud that our products are as valued and appreciated today as they were when first brought to market in Switzerland in 1884."

"We were flattered to receive this award, and especially so because it was voted on by our clients," says Pete Mitchell, director of business-to-business sales for Samsonite Corporation, which was awarded the Platinum Partner award for the Luggage & Leather Goods category. "It's a testament to the power of the Samsonite Brand that we have again been recognized by Incentive's readers. We appreciate the ongoing support of our clients and look forward to exceeding their expectations."
