The need

Weidmuller distributes high-quality products that are valued by its customers and enjoys a high level of loyalty and repurchase. However, the orders are often concentrated on only a few items even though the catalog is full of solutions. We needed a solution to not only increase customer purchases at the top, but also to provide a tool that exposes the rest of the range.

As 4incentive intervened

Aware of our need, 4incentive created a platform whose priority incentive centered on the logic of "cross-selling ". As a result, the Weidmuller product categories have been divided into 5 clusters or groups with different weights in terms of point value. The categories with the highest margins allow customers to have a greater number of points with constant turnover. It also accommodates the categories that have a lower penetration in the Italian market that the company has more interest in pushing. A sophisticated simulator was developed that allows the participant to immediately quantify the points value of its purchases, broken down for each category. This tool has allowed us to "move" purchases that were previously with competitors, to our catalog, resulting in increased sales. "The web platform is flexible and easy to navigate. It is a large catalog with captivating awards that are constantly updated drawing the attention of everyone, including uncertain customers. Bottom line is that the catalog attracts and impresses customers. 4Incentive is unequaled in the industry and is geared for success. The campaign which lasts the entire calendar year, has experienced a growth in interest with increases in terms of turnover and margin on sales. In fact, the margin on sales always falls into two digits - far superior to the normal trend and to the results achieved with other promotional activities.

"The web platform is flexible and easy navigation, a large catalog with awards truly captivating and constantly updated has made that even more uncertain customers were intrigued and attracted by the initiative. The catalog is of course what attracts and impresses the customer, to 4Incentive is unequaled and the natural comparison with many similar initiatives that each of us even in his private life may come across has always seen us win. The results from the first year were even beyond the most optimistic expectations.
