Engagement = Log-in + Rewards Activity


Mission: Impossible?• Primary audience: multi-generational small business

owners, primarily male, +50, seasoned and pragmatic in business, survived housing crash

• Client had previously provided them a “personal shopper”

• Earned points without ever signing up for program, sales rep and program manager told them what the cash value was for the points


Old program

Select supplier participation (79)

Points awarded on select suppliers based on formula

Minimum purchase requirements

GBPD - $8,000

Guardian Fiberglass -- $3,000

Minimum balance of 100,000 points to redeem

Consecutive 3 month minimum purchase or points are null/ void

Re-launch/ New Program

Additional supplier participation

Determine baseline/ tier supplier point values (2 points = $1 in sales)

No minimum purchase

No minimum balance required to redeem

Points expire after 18 months

Participants have a customer # and a different Plus account #

All customers auto enrolled into program & automatically accrue points

Month end all points are removed, site closed, and then new point balances are reloaded

(Customer # + Ship To #) = Plus Point #

All customers must activate new account to earn points

Points have a running statement showing what was accrued and redeemed
