Corporate Reward Programs
BFSI Consumer Promotion Program
Refer, Get Rewarded, Repeat! Our client, one of India’s leading stock broking companies, provides a seamless online real-time platform to trade and track your stocks with an innovative all-inclusive portfolio. We helped our client manage Refer & Earn programs as part of its strategy to improve customer base and increase new on-boardings. Existing customers can refer and provide leads. Depending on the conversion, the referrers earn Woohoo ₹500 Gift vouchers for themselves and every single friend or family member that they bring to the business. Referrers get their personalized referral link to spread the word about the company in their online social circles and earn all the way up to ₹2,500 Gift vouchers!
FMCG Consumer Promotions Program
Buy-Scratch-Win Chocolaty Rewards! Chocolate is an impulse FMCG category. At any given purchase moment, a consumer is presented with anything from 10 to 100 brand options, and the trade partners become a crucial bridge between the product and consumers. Our Client, World's best-selling confectionery brand, wanted to gratify their retailers and wholesalers to purchase their product, especially by offering a significant incentive. Keeping the target audience in mind, we designed a scratch card offer wherein on purchase of one jar, the channel partners receive a scratch card along with the jar. Each scratch card has a unique code to be shared by the partner via SMS to Qwikcilver and get an assured price.
Channel Loyalty and Sales Incentive Program
Paint your way to exciting rewards! Our client, a leading producer and distributor of paints and coatings, launched a first-of-its-kind innovative channel incentive program via App. The Application is a platform to reward their Loyal Painters and Small Painting Contractors. The Application works on four simple steps - enroll, buy, earn points and redeem. Painters can enroll and become members to start earning rewards points upon every purchase of paint made through registered dealership stores. Painters can redeem their points via the in-app digital catalog for exciting gift vouchers. Once the painter selects Direct Benefit Transfer as a redemption option, the details get shared with Qwikcilver. Based on the data, Qwikcilver pushes a link to the painter to fill in the bank details. For successfully verified painters, payments get processed in respective bank accounts.
