The Incentive Marketing Association (IMA) is excited to announce plans to conduct a ground-breaking new research study in 2024. The research study will provide a comprehensive view of the global incentive, reward and recognition industry.
All IMA members will receive valuable proprietary insights from the study. By combining qualitative data, based on interviews with panels of experts from each IMA SIG and Chapter, with quantitative data, the study will provide a global report complemented by individual Chapter and SIG reports. The individual reports will explore regional, and industry sector-specific insights presented in context with the global data.
The new research results will enable the IMA and our SIGs and Chapters to speak with a unified voice and will enhance our efforts to grow the incentive marketplace by educating business leaders on local and global best practices and trends to improve business performance.
Industry veteran Rik Lutmer of Loyalty Chiefs will conduct the IMA research study. Lutmer brings over 20 years of industry experience working with 84 brands across 28 business sectors.
