ABOUT THE COMPANY
Gibson–Philips is a well-established name in India’s consumer electronics market, known for reliable products and a strong dealer network. In this category, both end consumers and retailers influence sales — consumers through purchase decisions, and retailers through product recommendation and push at the counter.
CAMPAIGN OVERVIEW
To boost national sales and strengthen relationships across the entire purchase chain, Gibson–Philips launched a dual-incentive program designed to reward:
- Consumers for buying eligible products
- Retailers for driving bulk purchases
Consumers received product-linked rewards, while retailers earned ₹25,000 or ₹50,000 gift cards based on their sales performance.
The idea was simple:
“Reward the people who buy AND the people who sell.”
CHALLENGES
Consumer electronics is a competitive space where:
- Retailers heavily influence brand preference
- Consumers expect value-added offers
- Bulk orders matter for inventory movement
- Accurate tracking of sales is critical
- Incentives must feel fair and transparent
Gibson–Philips needed a seamless solution that motivated both sides without creating operational complexity.
REWARDPORT SOLUTIONS
RewardPort built an integrated digital platform — gibson.promoredemption.com — to manage both tiers of the program in one place.
For Consumers:
- Easy online registration of product purchase
- Instant access to product-linked rewards
- A smooth, mobile-friendly experience
For Retailers:
- Gift card rewards worth ₹25,000 or ₹50,000 for achieving bulk order slabs
- A transparent reward process synced with internal sales data
- Quick redemption through the digital platform
Why it worked:
- Retailers got high-perceived-value incentives
- Consumers felt rewarded for choosing Gibson–Philips
- The platform eliminated manual tracking and disputes
The system created a strong push-pull effect on sales.
WAY OF EXECUTION
RewardPort ensured the program ran smoothly across the country:
