Extremely successful rewards based on time rather than number of transactions.
This is the fifth column in series addressing customer loyalty and retention. Though real customer loyalty doesn't come from a program, "loyalty programs" are often used to retain customers through rewards or other incentives. We've looked at all the major reward types, including continuous rewards and ratio rewards. Today we'll talk about interval rewards.
Interval Schedules: Based on Time
Unlike continuous rewards (which occur every time) or ratio rewards (which occur every X times), interval rewards aren't based on any number of transactions. Instead, they're based on time. In B.F. Skinner's experiments, an interval schedule would result in giving food to the mouse every X minutes, regardless of how many times the lever was pressed. Like ratio rewards, interval rewards come in two flavors: fixed and variable. In the fixed version, the reward is given every X minutes. In the variable version, the reward is given at various intervals, all averaging to X minutes.
Real-world examples include any kind of time-based sale. For years, GNC had "Super Tuesdays." Members got a discount on the second Tuesday of each month. Macy's and other retailers often have huge annual sales. Because these sales occur on a fixed schedule (and are independent of how many times you shop there), they're fixed interval schedules.
Variable interval rewards are harder to find in the real world. One example is radio station giveaways. The DJ might say, "Sometime this hour, we'll give away two tickets." In another promotion, the audience has to listen for a certain singer whose song will be played at some point in the morning. Then at some point in the afternoon, another song by the same singer is played. The 10th caller who can identify both songs wins the prize. Both are examples of variable interval rewards because the timing isn't exact but averages to every hour or every four hours.
Charting Interval Reward Effectiveness
Interval rewards are extremely successful. The variable interval schedule is proven to be the most effective one on animals. The fixed interval version is a close second. Here are the ratings according to our three measures:
The learning curve is pretty slow for this reward because takes a while to get accustomed to it. Though tests with animals show these rewards (and ratio rewards) have relatively slow learning curves, we humans have an advantage: we understand the reward schedules because we're told what they are. While a mouse has to figure out the food comes every hour, we understand because those are the promotion's rules. That doesn't entirely mitigate the learning curve, however. We're still only being rewarded every so often, not constantly. So the learning curve, while not as slow as it is with animals, is still slow.
The real magic of these two rewards schedules is their frequency and decay. Both fixed and variable versions show a very high frequency, without the scalloping of ratio rewards. Decay rates of interval rewards are extremely slow. In fact, these rewards have the best decay rates of the group. In lab tests, the variable version has a better decay rate, but in tests with humans the decay rates are closer to each other. This is good news. It's hard to imagine a lot of different variable schedules (other than the radio example).
Think Interval Rewards Through Carefully
Interval rewards can seem like a magic bullet, as they outperform all other reward schedules. But they must be implemented with caution, and with a real understanding of when they are appropriate.
Let's consider GNC's "Super Tuesdays," which has now been expanded to the first 10 days of each month. At first glance, this is a classic fixed interval schedule. Regardless of how many times you shop, discounts only occur on the second Tuesday of the month. A closer look at GNC's business model shows this reward schedule may actually be a mistake.
GNC sells vitamins, exercise supplements, and the like. Its products tend to be expensive (designer vitamins can cost over $30). They're replenishable goods; once the bottle's empty, you need more.
Given these business rules, is its interval reward schedule effective?
Yes and no. By having a recurring discount schedule, GNC understands its customers aren't buying supplements just once. Therefore, a first-time buyer discount would be ineffective. It also realizes most of its products come in one-month supplies. If GNC's high-value customer actually buys only every two or three months, this monthly incentive isn't a bad idea. If its high-value customer normally buys monthly, however, the reward schedule coincides with his normal buying habits. This is bad.
If the reward schedule matches GNC's high-value customers' normal buying schedule, the retailer would actually create a continuous reward schedule masquerading as an interval schedule. The people most likely to use the program are very serious buyers (they must be GNC club members). Because they replenish their supplies monthly and every time they buy they get a discount, the schedule actually works as a continuous reward system for these customers. They get a discount each time they buy.
Because high-value customers stand to save a lot of money on discount days, they'll wait until the discounts are in effect to buy. A low-value customer (whose savings aren't as great) won't pay much attention to the sale day. This means the frequency level for high-value customers is low: they'll only shop once a month. The frequency rate for low-value customers is unaffected.
This isn't a good business model. Training the most valuable customers to only shop when they get deep discounts effectively turns them into a liability. Moreover, because GNC's high-value customers only shop during sale days, removing the program would show a high decay rate, mirroring that of a continuous reward schedule.
Interval reward programs only work if they don't affect user behavior the rest of the time. Macy's annual sale doesn't affect consumer behavior the rest of the year. Unfortunately, it's so infrequent it doesn't help build customer retention, either, and can't strictly be classified as a retention program.
There's a happy middle ground. An effective interval schedule can be mixed with other schedules. Airlines do this effectively with double-point weeks. This promotion works in conjunction with regular promotions to increase business without becoming a business rule (as many continuous rewards would). My gym runs promotions for discounted training sessions during certain weeks. This doesn't deter me from buying sessions at other times because promotions are less frequent than my normal buying pattern.
Base Rewards on Your Business Model
Although interval rewards are the most effective, they have specific (and sometimes limited) uses in the real world. I'd argue a more effective program for GNC would be a simple "bottomless bowl" program. This would reward high-value customers with the convenience of automatic product refills. There wouldn't have to be a deep discount, as savings would be in convenience, not money. An interval reward schedule for replenishable goods is a tricky matter, especially if the reward is timed with a customer's normal purchase behavior.
Coming Up
Next is the final installment in this series: how to use all these schedules competitively. We'll address what to do when your competition launched a promotion and how to combat it.

I shouldn't like this, but surprisingly I do.
I like the graphic quality, the lines and symmetry. There are two issues that I'm not too keen on. The first is the windscreen wiper, it adds nothing to the image, either clone it out, or crop.
The major issue, my eye doesn't rest as nothing is sharp, I know the difficulties you faced. You could bracket images, then layer in the one with a faster shutter speed, use auto align function in photoshop. You may have to increase the exposure setting first.
One last consideration, this may also look good in mono ( if you can correct the above issue).

looks absolutely super as a thumb view, went straight to it on the page as a point of interest but oddly it looks a lot less ccrisp when opened up.
Nick is bang right, the wiper needs to go, the contrast increasing to make the blacks darker aqnd impossible though it must be, the nearest car needs to be sharper. could you perhaps spirit a sharper car into the picture. i love the perspective created by the side and roof shapes.

Japanese telecoms companies KDDI (au) and Softbank Corp have reiterated their opposition to a possible lift of the ban currently installed on Nippon Telegraph and Telephone (NTT) to offer a discount for bundled mobile and fibre-optic fixed line services, the Japan Times reports. The government has barred mobile unit NTT DOCOMO from providing such discounts due to fears that it could lead to a monopoly situation; rivals KDDI and Softbank are not subject to such regulation. The two operators voiced their concern at a meeting of the Information and Communications Council, allegedly pointing out that the deregulation would have a reverse effect on consumers, as it could allow NTT to regain control of the domestic wireless market, which is currently competitive. The Information and Communications Council is expected to submit its report on the topic in November 2014.

Explore Sichuan and Chongqing Chengdu and around Northeastern Sichuan Southern Sichuan Southeastern Sichuan Chongqing and around Western Sichuan Share Sichuan's far west begins some six hours over the mountains from Chengdu at Kangding, the regional capital. Yet it's only after you leave Kangding, bound northwest towards the Tibetan border or southwest to Litang and Yunnan, that you enter what, geographically and ethnically, may as well be Tibet. Roads beyond Kangding are rough in places – mostly due to landslides or roadworks – but on the whole, journeys are exhausting due to length rather than physical discomfort. What makes them worthwhile are your fellow passengers, mostly monks and wild-looking Khampa youths, who every time the bus crosses a mountain pass cheer wildly and throw handfuls of paper prayer flags out of the windows. Buying bus tickets is frustrating, however – expect to find flexible schedules, early departures, ticket offices open at unpredictable times and unhelpful station staff. Northwest from Kangding, it's close on 600km across mountains and prairies to Tibet, and the main targets on the way are the people and monasteries around the highway towns of Tagong, Ganzi and Dêgê . The whole area hovers above 3500m, and the passes are considerably higher. Even when Tibet is open to foreigners, it has never been easy to cross from Western Sichuan into Tibet; if you do manage to buy a ticket for the ride, you're likely to be hauled off the bus at the border and booted back the way you came. Coming the other way from inside Tibet, however, the authorities are hardly likely to send you back if you try to enter Sichuan here, though you may well be fined. Dêgê Kangding Litang

Let's face it—games are cool. More importantly, games can be effective vehicles for learning. Indeed, few deny that a fundamental advantage of games is that they engage learners more than many other learning experiences. But game advocates contend that they offer even more valuable benefits than engagement: Games enable players to learn by doing, as well as provide a safe environment for workers to fail specific tasks and try again.
But not so fast...
In his T+D article "Games, Gamification, and the Quest for Learner Engagement," game champion Karl Kapp reminds us that like any other learning solution, a successful game requires good design. Kapp writes, "A well-designed game is a system in which players engage in an abstract challenge, defined by rules, interactivity, and feedback that result in a quantifiable outcome often eliciting and emotional response." As if quality learning design weren't difficult enough, a learning game has the additional challenges of integrating story, reward, motivation, and more into their material. Bottom line: Good game design is not easy.
With serious games and the buzz around gamification spurring intense interest in game design, I'm curious as to what "in-the-grind practitioners" actually think of them. Are you working to design or use serious games in your organization? If so, what questions do you have? What challenges have you encountered? What advice do you have for your peers considering employing learning games in their companies? You can add your thoughts to the comments below.
Finally, I'd be remiss not to mention the great discussion happening on ASTD's L&D CoP Blog spurred by Ruth Clark's post, Why Games Don't Teach. Check it out and add to the discussion.

However, I was a two pack a day smoker
had a serious problem with drinking
. I drank any where from 10- 18 of the 8 oz a day. It's all I ever drank. Since my heart attack, I haven't had a cigarette since, nor a red bull. But after 2 months of not taking my adderall I went back to my cardiologist and he gave me the ok to start my same regiment of adderall. I believe that we have to take a look at a lot more than just one thing.

It's basically the same as a
all energy drinks. NOT a relevant solution or replacement for Adderall. Generic IR Adderall isn't expensive at all and is called mixed amphetamine salts or amphetamine, dextroamphetamine mixed salts. Something like less than a dollar per pill.

I should own stock in Monster
. The caffiene
the 'natural' stuff in those drinks is over-rated
has too many side effects!! And if there is a "natural remedy" it's exercise and I'd think 5 kids would fill that slot for you. The rest of us have to put on running shoes or join a gym.

I was prescribed Topamax along with an appetite suppressant (Adipex) for weight loss a bit over a year ago
stopped taking them after two
a half months. I did not lose all of the weight I had wanted to, but most of it. I had gained 55 pounds while on Paxil over the course of two and a half years. By taking a combination of the two medicines, I lost 22 pounds the first month, 10 pounds the second month, and 8 pounds the first half of the third month.

hopefully reassure some of you that this is par for the anxiety course...it while irritating, maybe even maddening...it is totally harmless. Derealization and depersonalization are two terms that are sometimes used interchangably. Truth is, they DO vary a little bit in their presentation....

meat has been conclusively linked to increased risk of heart attack, stroke
peripheral artery disease. Researchers have shown that independent of other risk factors, the risk of cardiovascular disease is increased.

Lets face it:spinach, peanut butter, beef.

you don't need them. If you stop the caffiene
still have the same symptoms maybe it is anxiety.

Also-MSG,or food additives,
or blue dyes, fillers,
sodium benzoate-just a partial list of all the **** that is added to our food supply. I get all sorts of reactions from all of the above, including insomnia, itching, bad stomach, you name it. I don't know if you can call it an "allergy"-it is simply toxic stuff that is not supposed to be in our bodies.

I do have a lot of stress, but mostly from me not being able to do the things that other moms do. While i have had some
that seemed to help, alot, i just don't know if I should get a rx for that or if I should get on some anti-depressants. The reason I'm saying i don't know what to do is because i've never gone to a doctor for mind altering drugs, i've been a strong believier in natural remedies or dealing with it. Do I go to a psychologist? because i can't stand them.

These are often prescribed for runners, sports injuries to joints,
those suffering from arthritis. Syva labs has recently reworked its Cannabinoid test
claims to have eliminated this problem. But a Science magazine article (July 8, 1988) lists Ibuprofen as cross reactive. Under the new government guidelines THC testing levels will be reduced to 50 nanograms. Many more THC false positives can be expected in 1994.

It makes me very angry that these Doctors know
aren't telling people. I don't believe that they are ignorant. I've been over
over it again and again. It makes no sense that I would know more as a user of the drug than they would. There's so little on Tramadol or Ultram on the web. Tons on other drugs. Ok so the most alarming part of the Tramadol we would think would be the fact that it is a synthetic opiate. It's a Narcotic. It's just been slipped thru the schedule.

Probably my expectations were a bit too high, as everybody seems to think this is such an AMAZING place. In my opinion, yes, it is nice. But in Southeast Asia there are many very good 5-star-hotels and I wouldn't rate the Indigo Pearl higher than the other good 5-star-hotels. Would I go there again? Sure. Value for money is good and the fact that the hotel is so close to the airport is extremely convenient. But if I wanted to stay longer than just a weekend in this area, I'd choose another hotel. The beach isn't very nice and the pools are average.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Style and distinction - Historic detail fuses with chic industrial elegance. A 5 Star Luxury Design Resort touching Nai Yang Beach, Phuket. The Indigo Pearl resort experience is an encounter with Phuket's collective imagination - a gathering of intriguing details, re-envisioned through imaginative design. Architecture inspired by Phuket's tin mining past. The hotel decor evokes a Thai factory of a century ago. A landscape overflowing with surprises: the postmodern transformation of a mature plantation, spiced with modern sculpture and found industrial art. Luxury, comfort and service surpasses expectations. ... more less
- Reservation Options:
- TripAdvisor is proud to partner with Orbitz, Expedia, Booking.com, Cheap Tickets, Agoda, Splendia, HotelTravel.com, Hotels.com, Odigeo, TripOnline SA and Jetsetter so you can book your Indigo Pearl reservations with confidence.

A man claims to have found the secret recipe for Coca-Cola and he's selling it, asking for a starting bid of $5 million.
Cliff Kluge stumbled upon what he believes to be the original recipe for the popular soft drink in an old box of papers purchased at a famous chemist's estate sale in Georgia, which is Coca-Cola's home state.
The recipe has been a closely guarded secret for more than 100 years.
"May we make this perfectly clear - we can never guarantee and never claim that this is the actual recipe for Coca Cola," the eBay listing states.
"Even if this formula was 100% accurate in every aspect … there are only two people in the world that can verify it's accuracy, and I doubt they will be willing to compromise Coca Cola to acknowledge our exactness. That is why we are selling this as a historic artifact."
The recipe – which is heavily redacted in the online auction with specific ingredients and quantities blocked out – is dated Jan. 15, 1943.
"This single page (front and back) breaks down the formula into exact amounts of specific ingredients to make one gallon of concentrate, which, when combined and processed yields enough to make 16 gallons," the listing states.
The original Coke recipe was formulated by pharmacist Dr. John S. Pemberton, who was trying to create a non-alcoholic cocoa wine.
It was originally sold as a medicine for five cents a glass.

Gallery: Dwell Houses We Love – Vote For Your Favorite One!
Although definitely on the larger side, the Parlee/Hegland home is built with a sensitivity to its environment, and features a passive design allowing for natural light to filter in through high staggered windows. The home is naturally ventilated through operable windows. Outside the home is landscaped with buffalo grass, live oaks, and terraces of indigenous plants.
All of the houses are, of course, stunning, but you know how we are – we're partial to eco-friendly materials, energy efficiency, natural daylighting and renewable energy. We found six houses that piqued our interest, many of which had a strong focus on green interiors and daylighting. The grand-prize winner will be announced at Dwell on Design in Los Angeles this summer, and the home will also be featured in the 10th Anniversary Issue! Good luck in the competition and we can't wait to see who wins!

text: Mother, Son Square Off in Mayoral Battle Wendy, Randall Casey vie for leadership of Dixmoor, Ill. By Mark Russell, Newser Staff Posted Apr 5, 2013 11:18 AM CDT | Updated Apr 5, 2013 11:40 AM CDT STORY COMMENTS (0) (Newser) – They say all politics is local. Well, it doesn't get much more local than the race to be president of Dixmoor, a small Illinois village where two of the candidates are mother and son, reports NBC News. Randall Casey may still live under his mother's roof, but the campaign has strained their interactions somewhat, says Wendy Casey. "Our relationship hasn't been as strong as it normally was," she admits. Both are cautious about their familial competition making their poor, 3,500-person village look bad. "I'm not running against my mom. I'm running for the people of Dixmoor," says Randall. In addition to the Randalls, a town trustee is seeking the position, as is the incumbent mayor, who is accused of being basically homeless and living in city hall. Even though Randall's father Donald Luster, himself a former mayor, is endorsing his son and not Wendy, Wendy says she'll be magnanimous if he wins—but her son will still have to pay rent. "I can't let him live here rent-free," she says. "I wouldn't be a good mother if I did that." Wendy Randall is running for mayor of the small town of Dixmoor, Ill. Among the competition, however, is her own son Casey.
