As sales leaders or demand generation managers, running successful ABM campaigns using gifts and rewards might be a daunting task. But not until you have read this blog till the end.
Haben Sie sich jemals eine der folgenden Fragen gestellt?

- Welche Art von Belohnungen sollte ich den verschiedenen Interessengruppen zukommen lassen?
- Wie führt man erfolgreiche ABM-Kampagnen durch?

There are two common reasons for rewards and gifting fail in account based marketing campaigns. Either customer don't see enough value in participating. Or the campaign creators can't decide how much to park to run the rewarding campaigns.
By the end of this blog, you’ll learn how to choose the right rewards, craft the right messaging, integrate gifting into ABM campaigns, and measure ROI effectively.
How can rewards increase ROI of ABM campaigns?
Beim ABM One-to-One-Marketing müssen Sie genau hinschauen, bevor Sie sich auf den Weg machen, wenn Sie mit der Führungsebene oder wichtigen Entscheidungsträgern in Unternehmen zu tun haben. Ein kleiner Fehler könnte die Freude Ihres Zielkunden in Enttäuschung verwandeln.
Not only this but sending thoughtful digital gifts and rewards can also help increase the ROI of your ABM campaigns by encouraging people to take favorable action or give a positive reaction.
Und wie? Die Antwort lautet "Gegenseitigkeit".
How does reciprocity work?
Menschen fühlen sich verpflichtet, etwas für Sie zu tun, wenn Sie etwas für sie getan haben. Das nennt man das Prinzip der Gegenseitigkeit.
Das Prinzip der Reziprozität ist ein grundlegendes Konzept der zwischenmenschlichen Psychologie. Dieses Konzept erklärt den menschlichen Drang und Wunsch, etwas zurückzugeben, wenn man etwas erhalten hat. Dieser Wunsch wird noch verstärkt, wenn ein Geschenk gemacht wird, ohne eine Gegenleistung zu erwarten.
Die Vermarkter nutzen dieses Prinzip der Gegenseitigkeit zu ihrem Vorteil in ihren Marketingstrategien.
Benefits of rewards in increasing ROI of ABM campaigns
Sehen wir uns nun an, wie Belohnungen, insbesondere digitale Belohnungen, das Verhalten von Zielgruppen positiv beeinflussen und zu erfolgreicheren ABM-Kampagnen beitragen können.
1. Digitale Belohnungen erhöhen die Rücklaufquote
Betrachten Sie hier drei Szenarien. Nehmen wir an, dass Sie versuchen, zu bekommen:
- Scenario #1: More attendees for your webinar.
- Scenario #2: More leads from email marketing.
- Scenario #3: More conversations with key decision-makers at your target account.
Wie können Sie die Aufmerksamkeit Ihres Publikums erregen und es zu einer Reaktion bewegen?
By sending them digital rewards.
Given the flexibility of choice and the element of reciprocity in it, digital rewards have the power to increase the response rates in all three scenarios mentioned above.
Let’s face it—you can't play a guessing game for your target accounts. Interestingly, our clients have witnessed a high response rate with the use of digital rewards in their ABM campaigns.
Hier sind einige weitere Gründe, die digitale Belohnungen effektiver machen:
- Sofortige Befriedigung
- Globale Abdeckung
- Keine Möglichkeit, sie zu verlegen
- Leicht zu vergrößern
- Lower risk of misuse or scam
- Einfaches Aktivieren/Deaktivieren verschiedener Angebote
- Bequemes Verfolgen des Kundenverhaltens
- Echtzeit-Daten zur Rücknahme
2. Digitale Belohnungen erhöhen die Konversation
The probability of a person accepting a meeting request is high when you have a reward element attached to it.
For instance, if landing key meetings is a primary goal of your ABM campaigns, you may have a great landing page and message—but without reciprocity, it may still fall flat.
Use rewards to create hyper-personalized experiences using digital gifts. Invite decision-makers to a Q&A dinner over Skype, paired with a meal of their choice via UberEats gift cards.
3. Digitale Belohnungen sparen Geschäftskosten
Digital rewards offer a low-cost, low-effort way to target accounts. Sales leaders often see better responses when requests are paired with a gift—even if it’s not redeemed.
The best part? With platforms like Xoxoday Plum, you only pay for rewards that are actually redeemed, helping you save on unclaimed ones while still driving engagement.
However, it’s essential to track redemptions. Are they delivering the desired results? Are recipients engaging?
Many businesses still struggle to make rewards meaningful, often because they don’t choose the right gifts for the right people at the right time. The good news? You can avoid this mistake by reading on.
Aber Sie können dieser Kugel ausweichen, wenn Sie weiter lesen.
Rewarding right: What gifts to choose for your ABM campaigns?
Choosing the right ABM gifts is a balancing act—too generous and you risk overspending, too modest and you fail to capture buyer interest.
Wählen Sie einen angemessenen Betrag für digitale Belohnungen
Es kann eine Herausforderung sein, den besten Betrag zu finden, um das Engagement zu steigern und gleichzeitig Ihr Budget nicht zu sprengen. Je häufiger Sie jedoch digitale Belohnungen anbieten, desto mehr können Sie mit verschiedenen Beträgen experimentieren, bis Sie den richtigen Punkt gefunden haben.
Bei der Bestimmung des angemessenen Werts der digitalen Belohnungen sind einige wichtige Punkte zu beachten:
- Time commitment associated with in-exchange of the digital reward.
- The persona of the accounts you are trying to attract.
- Type of reward into consideration.
- Your total allocated ABM budget.
- Ease of redemption.
Sobald Sie sich für den richtigen Betrag für Ihren Geschenkgutschein entschieden haben, besteht der nächste Schritt darin, die Belohnung persönlicher und wertvoller zu gestalten, basierend auf den Anforderungen Ihrer Persona.
When it comes to choosing rewards for your ABM campaigns, here are a few important questions to ask yourself:
- Welche Interessengruppen sollten angesprochen werden?
- Wie sollten Anreize für die Beteiligten geschaffen werden?
- Wie hoch ist die Kaufkraft Ihrer Zielgruppe?
- Wie sieht das Kaufverhalten Ihrer Zielgruppe aus?
- What do your target accounts care/don't care about?
- Wie wertvoll ist ein bestimmtes Konto/eine bestimmte Person für Ihr Unternehmen?
Nachdem Sie eine umfassende Liste auf der Grundlage der oben genannten Fragen erstellt haben, können Sie Ihre digitalen Prämienoptionen auf die relevanten Optionen eingrenzen.

How to write an email when sending gifts to your ABM audience?
Choosing the right reward is one thing—crafting the right message is another. The most common question? “What’s the best message to send with a digital reward?” Your message shouldn’t feel transactional. Instead, show empathy, care and genuine appreciation.
Let recipients pick their own gift card to show that you value them as individuals. Many ABM campaigns use email as the primary channel, with gifting as a key attention-grabber.
To make it work, pair a compelling subject line (under 45 characters) with a warm, human message.
Wenn Sie Zielkonten brauchen, die Ihre Absicht beherzigen, sollten Sie sich an folgende Regeln halten:
- Eine großartige Eröffnungszeile und ein Betreff, der die Dringlichkeit erhöht
- Eine aussagekräftige Botschaft und eine Anleitung zum Inhalt
- Ihre Absichtserklärung und ein kostenloser Gutschein für ein persönliches Gespräch
- Anklickbare CTA

How to measure ABM campaigns the right way?
So you've been actively pursuing accounts using ABM campaigns. Your marketing and sales teams have worked together carefully customized messaging and emailed content to target accounts.
Falls Sie sich fragen, worauf wir hinauswollen: Diese Metriken sagen Ihnen, was Sie bei ABM-Kampagnen messen sollten:
To track your campaign’s success, here’s what to measure:
- Overall engagement rate
ABM aims to boost engagement within target accounts. If engagement is low, review your outreach and content—ensure it aligns with your persona’s pain points and business fit. - Redemption report
Talking about engagement, Plum's redemption report is a great way to check your prospect's activity with respect to your digital rewards.
Mit diesen Berichten können Sie den Status Ihrer Prämien und Daten wie Rechnungsdatum, -betrag, -vermerk, -saldo und Kommentare einsehen. Sie können auch die Einlösungshistorie der Empfänger einsehen.
- Sales cycle length
ABM shortens the sales cycle by reducing the awareness and research phase. Monitor how long it takes to convert leads to measure effectiveness. - Customer retention
ABM isn't just for acquiring new customers. It also strengthens retention, upselling, and cross-selling. If you haven't previously assessed customer retention for ABM initiatives, net promoter score measurement tools like SurveySparrow use precise metrics to provide insights into the health of your campaign. - Return on investment (ROI)
As with any campaign, check if your returns outweigh the investment. Regularly refine your strategy to improve ROI and drive greater value.
