Relationship and Rewards Marketing
WAYS TO ENGAGE. MEANS TO MAXIMIZE.
 TRADE/CHANNEL PARTNERS

Client: International Cement Manufacturer

Situation:

Client wanted to increase sales volume and improve the company's cash position from their retail trade partners.

Solution:

A loyalty program skewed on exclusivity was developed where retailers were motivated with non-cash rewards based on their purchases, on-line cash payments and most especially, for remaining exclusive to the company.

Results:
 
  • Increased sales volume through exclusive retailers.
  • Dramatic increase in cash payments from exclusive retailers.
  • Substantially reduced outstanding receivables.


Client: International Petroleum Corporation

Situation:

Client was experiencing declining market share in identified traditional retail trade areas in Metro Manila due to very low brand visibility and availability.

Solution:

The recommendation was two-pronged:
  • Reward owners of retail trade outlets based on adherence to merchandising standards developed by Client. An audit team went around on a regular basis to measure retail adherence.
  • Reward frontliners based on their knowledge of the product. Quiz cards were given on a monthly basis wherein frontliners were asked to answer 5-item quiz about the product. Raffle entries were given for every correct answer
Results: 
  • Response rate of 100% from frontliners.
  • Market penetration targets were exceeded.


Case Study: International Pharmaceutical Company

Situation:

The market for children's vitamins was growing by 6.6%. However, the Client's brand experienced a sales decline over previous year. TVCs were only aired during the 2nd quarter of the year to increase brand awareness among the end consumers.

Solution:

A method to directly reward front liners based on their knowledge of the product was implemented. Scratch cards were given on a quarterly basis wherein product information was communicated. Frontliners are then asked to answer a 5-item quiz by scratching the letter of the correct answer. Raffle entries were given for every correct answer. A tear-off portion was added to the product packaging, and turned in by the front liners along with the scratch card, as proof of sale.

Results:
 
  • Response rate of 95% from frontliners that contributed in achieving increased sales in participating drug stores.
