Abstract: A method of improving sales volume includes the steps of distributing redeemable offers to teams of shoppers wherein the shoppers are able to receive whatever basic discounts or other benefits that may be available to all shoppers, but also to receive a “kicker” benefit when the team achieves a specified purchasing objective such as a total of all sales to members of the team. Teams may compete for prizes or other benefits beyond those offered to individual teams.

Abstract: A method of motivating a person, through reward benefits, to participate in activities leading to a selected behavior wherein a benefactor establishes and defines a system of required behaviors for a beneficiary. The required behaviors earn the reward benefits, prior to a deadline for compliance. A program manager monitors the behaviors through transactional reports generated by participating third party vendors, compares the behaviors to the requirements, and distributes portions of the reward benefits to the beneficiary in accordance with the terms of a contract. The program ends when either the benefit account is depleted or the deadline is reached. Thus, the present method provides motivation for changing the beneficiary's lifestyle and releases a stream of rewards when lifestyle goals are being met.
