Ohana Companies Names Veteran Rebate, Incentives & Promotions Fulfillment Executive Matt Shaeffer Vice President, Business Development
Wilmington, Delaware – October 1, 2009 – Ohana Companies, a pioneering leader in transforming marketing promotions, rebates and rewards, has named veteran rebate, incentives and promotions fulfillment executive Matt Shaeffer as the company’s new Vice President, Business Development.
Shaeffer was most recently manager of strategic accounts for Hallmark Insights (Minneapolis, Minn.), a leading provider of employee recognition, sales incentive and health & wellness programs. He was instrumental in delivering double-digit growth in a time when most companies were scaling back on these programs.
“Matt’s addition further enhances our senior management team as we continue to attract smart, talented people from diverse backgrounds who see what we’re doing in a unique way,” said Chris Quinlan, the founder and Chief Executive Officer of Ohana Companies. “Matt brings his unique expertise in rebate strategy and promotional fulfillment as well as his considerable strengths in sales and marketing to our Ohana family, as we continue to revolutionize business with the next generation of rebates, delivering low-cost, high-impact loyalty programs and providing a technology platform that opens incremental sales opportunities where Everybody Wins.”
Prior to Hallmark Insights, Shaeffer spent over 10 years in promotional fulfillment with both Parago (Lewisville, Texas) and Young America (Young America, Minn.). During his nine years at Young America, Schaeffer secured and managed several large clients, helping them form the rebate strategy they still use today.
“I’m very excited to join Ohana Companies. I truly believe the spend-centric model they have developed and perfected is what the industry has lacked for years,” said Shaeffer. “The vision of Ohana’s seasoned executive team is very well thought out, very easy to understand and seamless to implement. Finally, the model exists that provides value and satisfies the needs of the three critical players in consumer promotion -- retailers, manufacturers and consumers.”
