Corporate Traditions
We've been able to use Corporate Traditions for corporate programs like birthday cards, anniversary gifts, raffle prizes on special events, and staff orientation programs. It is a great way to keep the staff motivated and makes a great compensation for people who go beyond their scope of work. It is easy to use and there are no hidden fees! It is not meant for personal gifting, but that just means you have more visibility of where your budget monies are going.

Nectar HR
Nectar is great if you are looking to add ways to recognize individuals, grow culture, and get people to connect. If you have a culture where people are already recognizing each other then Nectar might be redundant. However, if you want to add to or replace daily or monthly management recognition, then Nectar is a great place to start.

We have not used other similar products. We were going to stores direct to purchase gift certificates, or purchasing them from supermarkets (wherever available), which made it very time consuming
