Overview
Trade programs are a vital tool in the FMCG sector to drive sales, strengthen brand presence, and create a mutually beneficial relationship between manufacturers and their trade partners. These programs are critical to maintaining a competitive edge in a sector defined by high turnover, brand loyalty, and wide distribution.
Solution
The Protinex trade program was delivered via a single platform where campaign details, enrolment process and updates were communicated through a dedicated microsite, accessible to sales field agents across India.
The program incorporated a multi-tiered reward system to recognize both monthly achievements and overall campaign success through a range of highly aspirational mega reward prizes. Participants who met their monthly sales targets earned e-gift vouchers worth INR 4000. With the top performers at the end of the program wining a range of highly coveted prizes such as motorbikes, laptops, speakers and iPhones.
Our platform is designed to handle both, giving clients full flexibility. Our core B2B/Trade Loyalty programs are long-term strategies, often sustained for an average program tenure of 4 years, focused on building retention and maximizing partner lifetime value. However, we also execute short-term, tactical campaigns—or 'short-burst schemes'—such as scratch cards, lucky draws, and high-sales contests, to drive immediate spikes in sales or achieve quarterly targets.
Success is measured through a set of critical Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) tracked in real-time. These metrics cover two key areas:
1. Financial Outcomes: Tracking Sales Uplift (incremental revenue generated), Customer Lifetime Value (CLV), and Average Order Value (AOV) to ensure financial profitability.
2. Behavioural Metrics: Measuring Customer Retention Rate (or churn reduction), program Enrolment and Participation Rates, and the Frequency of Purchases to confirm that the program is successfully changing partner behaviour.
For well-designed and executed B2B loyalty programs, a strong return is primarily driven by:
• Retention: Significantly reducing customer or partner churn, as retaining a client is far more cost-effective than acquiring a new one.
• Incremental Sales: Ensuring that rewards are paid out only for performance that exceeds existing sales baselines, making the program self-funding based on growth.
• Wallet Share: Incentivizing channel partners to prioritize and sell a greater share of your products over a competitor's.
Our expertise spans a comprehensive range of sectors that rely on robust channel partner and trade networks for success. We routinely power campaigns for major brands in Automotive, FMCG, Retail, Consumer Durables, Building Materials (including cement, paint, and sanitaryware), Electrical Equipment (like lighting and switchgear), Oil & Lubricants, and Pharmaceuticals, Financial Services, Telecommunications, and Technology sectors. Essentially, any business that leverages a network of dealers, distributors, retailers, or third-party influencers—such as mechanics, architects, or contractors—to drive product sales can utilize our fully customized B2B loyalty solutions.
