IncentiveDirect newsfeed. August/September 2009.

IncentiveDirect creates innovative online reward and recognition systems.
We believe that rewards drive inspiration.

We're back from our summer holidays, refreshed and raring to go. We're now settled into our new office, and kicking on with plenty of new developments in the pipeline for iD-points, plus new clients coming on stream.

If you have any questions about IncentiveDirect or iD-points, then please contact Martin Gittins by e-mail at martin.gittins@incentivedirect.com

/01. New phone number.

0345 468 2409

We've gone done changed our phone number again.

Our new number, 0345 468 2409 allows us to route calls more effectively - callers pay no more than national call rates. Please update your records accordingly.

/02.New iD-points feature - Dynamic filters

Dynamic filters Dynamic filters

We're adding a neat new feature to make it easier for Supervisors to search their End Users.

The Dynamic Filter option allows you to only display users who match the criteria you choose, eg users who have more than 500 points, or users who haven't logged in for 3 months. You can add as many conditions as like, and then choose to match all conditions or any conditions (AND and OR in logic speak). Having filtered the End Users, it's then a snap to add all of these users as a Group, perhaps for a unique news item only available to them, or to be assigned an Overview account for special attention.

Once testing is finalised, the Dynamic Filter feature will be added to the iD-points system next week. Contact us to see how the filter feature can work for you.

/03. Latest blog entries.

The IncentiveDirect blog is the place to find out about our views on motivation and incentives.

A new version of the blog is in development - more news next month. Here are the latest stories:

The X-Prize for motivation.
"An objective, unambiguous target, a clear set of rules, feedback and discussion forums to promote knowledge sharing - these are surely the ingredients for successful incentives"

Rewarding Customer Service.
"If you're going to be an onion seller you really need to know your onions."

/04. Latest products in iD-points store.

Great new products in the iD-points store, as always.

Beatles

The Beatles - remastered
The Fab Four are back! Finally, after years of legal shenanigans, their entire back catalogue has been released on CD , digitally remastered. From the early days of A Hard Days Night and Beatles for Sale, to the last days of Let it Be and Abbey Road, it's all here. There's also a box set featuring all 17 albums, the complete record of the seminal journey made by the most influential band of all time.

Beatles Rock Band

The Beatles Rock Band.
The Beatles have also come to the Rock Band game. Now you can play along with John, Paul, George and Ringo as they make their way from the Cavern Club in Liverpool, to Shea Stadium, the studio at Abbey Road, and on the roof of Apple Records. Play along with your friends, or grab an instrument and try and make it as the Fab One instead. The game, available for Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii, requires controllers from either Rock Band or Guitar Hero.

iPod nano

It's the time of year again when Apple upgrade their iPod range. Last year, the redesigned nano was launched to great acclaim. This year, an update now sees the nano feature a video camera, an FM tuner, and a pedometer. The screen is now approx 10% bigger, encased in a shiny new anodized aluminium enclosure.

iPod touch

The Apple iPod touch has also been given an update, making it a great all in one entertainment device. It's a computer, an iPod, and a games machine all in one.

Motorola LS1000

A prince amongst digital photo frames, the Motorola LS 1000 features a 10" screen, with an 800x600 display resolution. With a Wi-Fi connection included, it's easy to transfer images to it - you can even upload photos via e-mail. With speakers included, you can also play MP3's and Wi-Fi Internet radio. The device can be wallmounted, or left free-standing. It's practically a computer in disguise.
