<\/figure>\n\n\n\nWhat is a Rebate?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nRebates<\/a> are an incentive program in which a supplier offers their customers a monetary reward for reaching designated purchasing goals. After the target specified in the agreement is met, customers can claim a percentage of the purchase price back for a better deal on their order. If you\u2019re a supplier offering rebates to a customer, you\u2019re dealing in customer rebates<\/a>. If you\u2019re a customer receiving rebates from suppliers, you\u2019re dealing in supplier rebates<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThis is what encompasses the fundamental difference between a rebate and discount, as purchases are made at full price and the savings occur only after the target is met. This strategy allows you to avoid any of the negative associations of a price cut (whether temporary or permanent) while still reaping the benefits of increased sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rebates are widely used by distributors across the globe to facilitate advantageous trading relations and stronger strategic partnerships. On average, distributors have rebate programs with 50 of their top 100 manufacturers, representing two-thirds of sales and an incredible 60-100% of net profit. This makes rebates one of the most important incentives in a distributor\u2019s strategic toolkit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With rebates, you can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Increase reliability and consistency of sales<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Boost sales on targeted SKUs <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Drive a higher margin <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Create stronger trading relationships and customer loyalty \u200d<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Types of Rebates:<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\nRebates don\u2019t just come in one variety. In fact, there are many different types of rebates. There are opportunities for trading partners to create and execute on more nuanced deals. These different types of rebates allow you to drive the behaviors you want to see in your trading partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The simplest example of a rebate and most popular is a volume rebate program<\/a> which rewards trading partners for purchasing higher volumes of a product. Volume incentives \u2014 also called tiered incentives or incentive bands \u2014 are a great method to help your company increase margins. Instead of offering a trading partner a flat rate rebate, tiered incentives allow you to offer more rebates for more products purchased. <\/p>\n\n\n\nExample of a volume rebate:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n![\"\"\/](\"https:\/\/cdn.prod.website-files.com\/61eee558e613794aa8a7f70c\/67698a25b30e84ee21608b0b_63f3933479faa0add91fc5c1_Screen%2520Shot%25202023-02-20%2520at%25203.34.54%2520PM.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nOther rebate examples include mix incentive programs, promotional, loyalty and marketing incentives, logistics rebates for bulk purchases and special pricing agreements. All of these types of rebates can be explored in our white paper: Rebate Management Basics: Understanding Which Incentive Type is Right for Your Business<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What is the Purpose of Rebates?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
A rebate is a financial incentive offered to buyers, typically in the form of a refund or discount, after the purchase of a product or service. Rebates are used by manufacturers, retailers, and service providers to encourage sales, reward customer loyalty, or promote specific products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The primary goal of rebates is to stimulate sales and encourage customer loyalty. Rebates can help build customer loyalty by offering a financial incentive for repeat purchases. Rebates may also serve as a way to offer discounted prices across certain items, without actually lowering the price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Discounts<\/h2>\n\n\n\nWhat is a Discount?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Discounts are a powerful pricing tool to motivate buying behaviours, typically applied at the point of purchase to reduce the buying price for a set amount of time: when you shop, you pay the discounted value straight away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The purpose of a company offering a discount is to increase short-term sales, move out-of-date stock, reward valuable customers therefore creating better relationships, and make sure sale targets are met. Customers may also choose your product or service over your competitors if the price is discounted enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just be cautious how you apply your discounts, lowering your prices might bring in customers, but if you don\u2019t execute your sale properly, you could cut into your profits and even damage your brand and reputation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Types of Discounts:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
You may be surprised to learn there are different types of discounts. Most of us are familiar with discounts from our consumer lives, where we receive a percentage off a purchase. That\u2019s a cash discount. When you go to your local DIY store and see that hammers are 25% off, you receive that 25% discount when you make your purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
