The Challenge:

We partnered with a major consumer electronics company facing an appliance sell-out challenge. Engagement with their usual advertising tactics was low, and conversion rates were even lower.

Their goals were clear:

• Simplify the buying journey: They wanted a campaign that was effortless for customers to join and participate in.
• Discount without devaluation: They needed to offer an effective incentive without diminishing the perceived value of their appliances.
• Fresh rewards, happy customers: They craved an innovative approach with exciting rewards to keep things interesting.

Our Solution: Guaranteed Rewards with Choice

We helped the company create an innovative promotional reward campaign offering customers a guaranteed reward with every appliance purchase. Here’s what made it successful:

• Personalized Rewards: Customers received a curated selection of exciting rewards to choose from, catering to individual needs and desires beyond just saving money.
• Increased Value with Purchase: Higher-value appliance purchases unlocked even better rewards, incentivizing bigger sales.
• Wider Customer Reach: The diverse reward options attracted various customer segments, boosting brand awareness and market share.
• Seamless User Experience: A user-friendly campaign ensured easy participation and reward redemption, minimizing customer queries.

Reward Risk Coverage: Fixed Costs, Guaranteed Peace of Mind

Traditionally, these reward campaigns can be a gamble. Businesses might end up paying more than anticipated if many customers redeem the rewards. Our Reward Risk Coverage eliminated this uncertainty for our client. Our Reward Risk Coverage transformed reward budgeting. Here’s how it benefited the client:

• Fixed Cost per Reward: One Set Price: Instead of facing an unknown total cost based on how many rewards are redeemed, the client paid a fixed reduced cost per reward upfront. This eliminated the risk of unexpected expenses at the campaign’s end.
• Pay-Per-Action: The reward expense only occurred when the desired customer action – purchasing an appliance – was taken. This ensured the budget was directly tied to sales, creating a closed-loop system. The more appliances sold, the more the reward costs were covered.
• Simplified Budgeting: Knowing the fixed cost per reward upfront made budgeting a breeze. No surprises, just predictable expenses easily integrated into the profit margin.
• High-Value Rewards at a Reduced Price: By eliminating uncertainty, our coverage allowed the client to offer more exciting rewards like flights and hotel stays at a reduced price. This created a more compelling incentive for customers without breaking the bank.

In essence, Reward Risk Coverage provided a win-win: predictable, manageable expenses for the client and high-value rewards that drove sales and customer satisfaction. Our client could confidently plan their campaign budget, focus on promoting it, and make more informed marketing decisions.
