Greetings all.
This is my first post; and it's in a professional capacity this time. I'll give a little personal info first up though.
My (not so) LO was born in 2011, not 2013 like it says on my profile although this was the earliest date on the sign-up page. He's now in Yr2 of primary school; though he's had a sometimes bumpy journey along the way.
My wife has been a MN-er for some time, but I don't want to drag her profile into a work thing.
So, a couple of years ago I transferred bleary-eyed out of the toddler reality and (re)joined the rest of the real world; including a career change and a house move ['coz, you know, life weren't difficult enough].
I now work (via Cabinet Office) for a company that is developing a support app for pre-school activities with a developmental twist. We're eager to learn more of what people make of the activities; but our current delivery is a Business-2-Business model, so feedback is filtered thru local delivery leaders.
Our programme is free of charge. One of our rivals incentivises participation, but they are a subscription service. We have no plans to begin charging, but are considering becoming a Business-2-Customer model, with a potential incentive.
So, I was wondering if I could poll your thoughts on this question:
Imagine you have enrolled in a programme for your 2-4yr old where you receive a weekly fun activity to do with them to support their development. There is an incentive to undertake the activity and feedback your thoughts. Should the incentive be:
A) Some other developmental things (eg: vouchers for some sort of paid for product or service) or other worthy product (like organic food)?
B) A fun thing for the child (eg: soft play voucher, cinema voucher, et al)?
C) A cheeky guilt free treat for yourself (posh chocs, adult retail voucher, et al)?
Many thanks in advance for all proffered thoughts
