• Dealer Promotions: Programs that encourage Dealers to purchase more or purchase a specific mix of skus and are rewarded with merchandise rewards in the place of discounts.
• Loyalty Programs: Similar to frequent purchase programs, consumers are rewarded for increasing purchases or purchasing over a long period of time.
• Wellness Programs: Of increasing concern to company leaders as insurance costs rise, there are many advantages to having a healthier workforce. Companies that structure wellness programs may outsource the reward component.
• Customer Gifting Programs: Studies show that consumers who receive gifts are far more likely to buy again from that company. These may be Holiday gifts, a gift on the anniversary of a purchase or other significant time frame. There are tax advantages to companies that have defined and documented gifting programs.
