Etiquette of Greeting (Salam)

Using the complete greeting formula

A man greeted the Prophet (SAW) saying "Assalamu alaykum" and received ten rewards; another added "wa rahmatullah" and received twenty; a third added "wa barakatuh" and received thirty.

Reference: Sunan Abi Dawud and Jami' al-Tirmidhi, graded Hasan, on the authority of Imran ibn Husayn (RA)

Explanation

This escalating reward encourages using the fuller greeting rather than a shortened version.
