Corporate Reward Programs
|
 |
Our client – large prominent FMCG company usually ran trade schemes to increase sales. They were looking at running a trade promotion scheme that would see an increase of sales and offer added value through exciting reward options instead of the traditional trade scheme that all companies run.
Qwikcilver proposed to run a scratch card-based incentive program. The process was simple and would offer incentive to their channel partners on more purchases. We generated and printed over 50 lakh unique codes to the client. Each unique code was mapped to a reward value ranging from mobile top ups, jewelry, mobile phones and bikes.
This unique solution enabled the client to launch a trade promotion and with an intention to increase sales of its products during the peak season. Our client was looking for a simple foolproof system to ensure their channel partners purchased more stock and hence occupy more share of shelf at the retail stores; and the results of this program are speaking for themselves.

Our client is one of the largest and oldest FMCG companies in India. The client was running a traditional channel rewards program and incentivization for their channel partners with cash. Expectedly they faced multiple issues with incentivization and therefore had approached us to revamp the program and offer more exciting rewards to its channel partners. The request was placed for an end to end channel program. To enable easy redemption, Qwikcilver also provided for call center-based redemption model that is drastically simpler than a website-based redemption.
Our in-house design team designed a beautiful welcome kit that contained a gift card personalized with their name and a welcome letter. Regular communication through SMS on target achievement, points balance ensured competitiveness to earn more points.
The results and the feedback from the channel partners has ensured that the client has confirmed the addition of more regions to the new program and bring all the retailers under the new revamped program.
