“This is the first vendor promotion that was fueled by sales that I have not only participated in, but felt was worth my time trying to sell to the customer and upload onto the site. This was a great experience, and I would love to participate again.”
“Hope that another program like this starts again because I stopped pushing competitors’ products because of this program.”
How They Got Here
Marketing
Program Design
HMI developed a short-term promotion utilizing manufacturer (MFG) reps to communicate through the distribution channel.
The promotion used a gamification sweepstakes which awarded participants for their sales. Participants earned a chance to win an instant prize every two weeks and a second chance drawing opportunity for a monthly grand prize sweepstakes.
The program made it easy for the MFG reps to communicate by providing an electronic promotional kit to help them quickly connect with distributors and get their counter salespeople enrolled. Reps were also rewarded the same prizes as the distributor sales people they enrolled.
Reward Opportunities:
- HMI’s OnDemand Platform
- HMI’s Spin-to-Win and Sweepstakes
- Additional chances to earn extra spin codes and entries
