Auxiant is a Third Party Administrator (TPA) of self-funded benefit plans. Our specialty is customization, technological tools for clients and individuals, and cost-control and health management. We provide administration for over 60,000 employees from our administrative offices in Madison Wisconsin and Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Our Sales offices are in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and Milwaukee, Wisconsin. TPAs are one of the best-kept secrets in the country. Many people do not know TPA firms exist-yet about 2/3 of all employee benefit plans in the U.S. use TPA services. As a TPA, we are dedicated to taking excellent care of the employer and the individuals covered under their employer-sponsored health plans. A health plan is a highly valued component of a companys employment package. With the rising costs of medical care, a health plan has also become a major employer expense. We know how important careful administration of an employer health plan is. We believe it is important to provide our plans with cost-management strategies, while providing plan participants with tools to help them deal with the complexities of health care purchasing. Auxiants Medical Management programs help plan sponsors achieve the lowest medical spend. Auxiant is member of the Society of Professional Benefit Administrators (SPBA) and Society of Self Insured Administrators (SIIA).
DESTINATION DEVELOPMENT Understanding what exists in your destination is important. Knowledge of your cannabis and hemp-related assets directly informs the strategy and program architecture. I engage and educate stakeholders, assess the destination, and develop a bespoke cannabis travel strategy and program that fosters long term success. The strategy may or may not include B2C product development i.e. trail, passport, newsletter. DESTINATION MARKETING The data shows that the cannabis-motivated active leisure travel audience is a high value audience that stays longer and spends more while in a destination. Through a dedicated cannabis travel program, I work with stakeholders to facilitate a steady flow of cannabis and hemp-related content that elevates the cannabis experience story in a sophisticated and brand aligned way. I advise DMOs on B2B and B2C content and marketing strategies. HOTEL SOLUTIONS Hotels are the heart of the travel ecosystem of a destination. Hotels greatly influence the overall experience for visitors. With a focus on guest experience, room nights, and turn-key incremental revenue opportunities, I help hotels understand, prepare for, and serve the cannabis and hemp CBD-interested hotel guest. Solutions include hospitality education, frontline staff support, and revenue generating opportunities in lobby, spa, and in-room.
