Top brands are motivating consumers around these specific behaviors

Consumers are more distracted and empowered with their purchase decisions than ever before, making it all too easy to tune out even their favorite brands.

Using incentives -- like discounts, exclusive offers and gift cards -- many top brands are motivating consumers around key marketing initiatives. When brands leverage incentives and psychology to drive specific behavior, they’re able to effectively meet their marketing goals.

Here are just some of the most common examples we’ve seen top brands motivating consumers around:
