Why Performance Payout
 
What is Performance Payout?

Performance Payout is a highly targeted marketing approach that directs marketing dollars at a very select group of successful competitors.

 
  • Performance Payout is an effective program option for vendors who want to associate their product or service with successful athletes
  • The objective is to create a positive brand affinity among those competitors and among the broader audience of family, friends and fans who follow those competitors.
  • Performance Payout is often used by marketers in combination with other marketing programs such as advertising, direct marketing and awards marketing
  • When a competitor wins a performance payout, the marketer can promote that success to potential customers of the targeted products or services.
