Why Summer Is the Best Season to Say Thank You to Your Team

And why experience gifts drive real loyalty

When the sun is shining, productivity is peaking, and calendars are dotted with long weekends, summer is more than just a season—it’s a golden opportunity. For employers looking to recognize and reward their teams, summer offers the perfect “pause point” to show genuine appreciation. And the most impactful way to do that? Experiences, not stuff.

Summer Is a Natural Reset

The summer months provide a psychological break. Whether it’s school holidays, summer Fridays, or family trips, this time of year invites reflection and rejuvenation. For many teams, it marks the midpoint of the business year—a chance to look back at what’s been achieved and refresh for what lies ahead.

Recognizing employees during this seasonal slowdown reinforces your culture of gratitude. It says: We see your efforts, and we want you to enjoy life outside the office, too.

Why Experiences Outperform Traditional Rewards

Forget branded mugs and fleeting bonuses. A growing body of research shows that experiential rewards create stronger emotional bonds than material gifts. They spark excitement, foster deeper connections, and are remembered far longer.

That’s exactly what Tinggly is built for. With over 100,000 curated experiences in more than 100 countries—from spa days and gourmet tours to helicopter rides and luxury hotel stays—Tinggly lets your employees choose an adventure that suits their passions and schedule.

Even better? There’s no expiration date. Whether they take a summer surf lesson now or a hot air balloon ride next spring, your gratitude lives on.

Tangible ROI: Loyalty, Engagement, and Retention

Loyalty isn’t built through slogans—it’s built through action. Experiential rewards signal investment in your team’s personal fulfillment. That gesture alone boosts morale, productivity, and employer brand equity.

And with Tinggly’s planet-friendly model—planting trees and offsetting 200% of all CO₂ emissions—your company can do good while giving well. It’s appreciation that aligns with modern values and ESG commitments.
