Maritz Incentives was a corporate performance improvement consultant firm and division of Maritz Holdings.[51][52][53] As of 2003, its initiatives included conducting a bimonthly poll of workplace issues.[53][54][55] In 2004, the incentive design company laid off between 35 and 50 of its 226 employees, including the company's president Brian Fitzpatrick and other senior management,[56] and reassigned 11 more to other Maritz subsidiaries.[5][6] John McArthur, Maritz Holding's chief operating officer, took over operations of Maritz Incentives, which was once considered Maritz's "flagship operation", in an attempt to reverse a sales lag.[6] The changes were also part of Maritz's restructure to separate its marketing research, performance enhancement, and travel services into eight independent companies.[5] The Maritz Incentives business was merged with Maritz Loyalty.[29][32]

Maritz's customer loyalty marketing firm was known as Maritz Loyalty Marketing until it was rebranded as Bond Brand Loyalty in 2014.[57] In 2013, Forrester Research ranked the customer loyalty marketing agency as the highest and third highest in the strategy and market presence criteria, respectively, among eight established loyalty program providers.[58] Bob Macdonald was serving as president and CEO of the company at the time.[58] As of 2014, the agency had 400 employees and Bond clients included Ford Motor Company, Johnson & Johnson, and Under Armour.[57] In November 2015, Maritz sold the Canadian loyalty firm to the Bond management team. Maritz continues to provide customer loyalty services through Maritz Motivation Solutions.[9]

History edit

Early history – 1970s edit

The company was founded by Edward Maritz in 1894.[3][63] "Maritz, Inc." started as a watch and jewelry wholesaler, and has been credited for the tradition of gifting gold watches to employees upon their retirement, since the early 1900s.[64]

The company almost collapsed in 1929 as the result of Edward's death and the Great Depression. Edward's sons, James and Lloyd, began selling watches and other jewelry to companies to use as sales incentives.[64] Maritz landed its first national client in 1931; subsequent clients included Chevrolet, General Motors, and Ralston Purina. In the 1930s and 1940s, the company began offering luggage and other incentives, and started providing resort and travel packages in the 1950s.[64]

James and Lloyd controlled the business for nearly 20 years, until they split the company in 1950. James continued operating the incentives business, while Lloyd opted for the wholesale jewelry company. Lloyd died five years later, and his business went defunct.[64] James' company was successful, generating $5 million in sales in 1958 and $11 million in 1960. James' son, James A. "Jim" Maritz Jr., first joined the family business, followed by his other son, William E. "Bill" Maritz, who began working as a sales manager in 1959.[64] Bill and Jim served as co-CEOs during the 1960s and 1970s. In 1970, the company's sales reached nearly $100 million.[64]

1980s – present edit

Jim's son, "Jimmy", joined the company around the time of James' death in 1981, and Bill's son, Steve, joined in 1983.[64] Maritz thrived during the late 1980s, generating a net income of $38.5 million and $1.05 billion in sales in 1989. However, the company experienced an economic downturn during the early 1990s recession.[64]

Steve became the CEO of Maritz in 1998.[64] In 2000, Maritz earned $1.32 billion and ranked thirteenth on the St. Louis Business Journal's list of the largest privately held companies.[61] The company reported $1.4 billion in revenue in 2002,[7] though eMaritz fell short of Maritz's $18 million goal by only generating $1.3 million in sales. eMaritz reported a $5.5 million loss in 2003.[64]

Maritz reported $1.4 billion in revenue for its fiscal year that ended on March 31, 2003. In February 2004, there were eight companies operating under Maritz Holdings, employing 5,700 people, 2,475 of which were based in St. Louis.[6] In 2009, Maritz launched LoyaltyHQ 3.0 (LHQ), a management portal that enables companies to control their loyalty programs from a single technology platform.[65] That same year, Maritz generated $1.1 billion in revenue and had 3,100 employees, including 2,200 based in St. Louis.[29] The company reported $1.1 billion in revenue again in 2010.[35]

In November 2013, Maritz sold its prepaid incentive cards business, InteliSpend Prepaid Solutions, to Pleasanton, California's Blackhawk Network for an undisclosed amount. Maritz continues to work with Blackhawk Engagement, which acquired InteliSpend and operates from Maritz's Fenton campus.[2][66] Maritz earned $1.2 billion in revenue in 2013, which was a 9.1 percent increase from 2012.[2][49] In 2013, Maritz had 4,292 employees (1,691 of which were locally based), and Dennis Hummel was serving as the company's president.[2] Maritz generated $1.2 billion in revenue again in 2015.[63]

In 2016, Maritz established a partnership with Capital Innovators, one of the nation's leading technology accelerators. The pair co-lease office space in the Cambridge Innovation Center, and Maritz offers mentoring to the accelerators' portfolio companies.[67] In July 2016, Maritz announced the launch of its Innovation by Design Summit to "[celebrate] the unique intersection of innovation and behavioral design".[68][69] Steve Wozniak headlined the event, which was held at St. Louis' Union Station in September; other speakers included Nir Eyal, Jeremy Gutsche, and behavioral researcher Wendy De La Rosa.[68][70]

Maritz launched The Maritz Institute in 2009 to promote the human sciences in business.[2][71] According to its former vice president and executive director, the institute was created "as a bridge between the latest human science research and the new normal" corporate environment.[72] The Maritz Institute serves as a think tank and research and development branch, providing recommendations to Maritz on how to incorporate design thinking into client programs.[4] It has created 21 proprietary design principles derived from human behavioral research to enable clients to customize their sites created by Maritz.[4]

In May 2011, the institute published a white paper called "The Game Has Changed: A New Paradigm for Stakeholder Engagement", which describes scientists' findings on human drive and how this can help business executives engage with their clients, employees, and partners. The white paper was written by Mary Beth McEuen in her role as The Maritz Institute's vice president and executive director.[73] In August, the institute and Maritz Travel collaborated with The Cornell Center for Hospitality Research to publish "The Future of Meetings: The Case for Face-to-Face", which describes different types of meetings and their effectiveness based on research conducted by academics and neuroscientists.[72]

In 2014, the institute launched its "Master Designer Certification" program to improve incentive planners' understanding of program design in order to deliver more knowledge and greater service to clients.[74]

In September 2015, the Maritz Institute appointed Charlotte Blank, a former manager of Chevrolet Global Marketing for General Motors, to the role of executive director.[4][75]
