GROW YOUR SALES WITH A CUSTOMIZED MANUFACTURER LOYALTY PROGRAM

Successful manufacturer customer rewards programs are designed to grow customer lifetime value and are funded by increased profits.

Ensure your sales incentive programs boost account sales, not costs

As a sales or marketing leader of a manufacturing company you demand (and are often measured on) sales program impact and ROI.


Offering traditional year-end cash rebate programs to your customers or channel partners will not keep them engaged or differentiate your company from the other vendors. Year-end rebates tend to be passive and research shows cash rewards tend to cost as much as 4X more than non-cash reward programs.



Give yourself the best chance for program success with an “Intelligent” incentive program from Lift & Shift Loyalty.



Whether you prefer using points or cash as your base reward, our Intelligent Incentive Programs use your own sales data to grow customer value. We apply our proprietary data analysis to your historical data, enabling you to introduce personalized program goals and rules for reach customer or channel partner.

Say good bye to spreadsheets and pivot tables. Our industry-leading rewards program rules engine automatically keeps track of an unlimited number of program rules for you, ensuring customers and channel partners earn rewards based on their growth in value to your organization. 


Manufacturer loyalty programs grow customer value


We help you strengthen channel partner relationships, drive downstream sales, secure new customers, increase retention and grow average customer lifetime value with the establishment of wide-ranging and data-driven reward offerings.

Leverage your customer data

We help you unlock the hidden value that comes with insights into your customer data. We use your sales data to identify customer purchasing gaps and opportunities, and convert these opportunities into increased sales with personalized reward offers to drive customer purchase behavior.

Fully customized service

We build and manage all aspects of your program using our proprietary technology platform to quickly and cost-effectively create a customized B2B rewards program that addresses all your sales goals. You will spend less than 30-minutes a month managing your rewards program.

Performance-based cost structure

With our performance-based program structure, your customers are primarily rewarded when they become more valuable to you or make the purchases you want to see more of. This sort of growth-based program pays for itself.

Customer retention for manufacturing companies

Let your rewards program act as your automated sales tool  


Most manufacturers have a common problem - your sales team directs most of its attention to your top 20% largest customers and has less time for the bottom 80% small-medium sized accounts who represent an incredible growth opportunity. A Lift & Shift manufacturer loyalty program can help develop the unrealized sales potential from those accounts. 
Our regular program communication is your automated salesperson, providing a consistent channel for you to offer participating customers relevant and attractive opportunities to earn rewards for purchases. Turn your low and medium spenders into larger and more frequent spenders.

Distributor Data Direct™

Let us show you how our performance based B2B rewards program can improve your bottom line.

Your marketing strategy should include a loyalty program

Companies are actively looking for opportunities to strengthen the relationships with their customers. Manufacturers benefit from a loyal customer base regardless of whether they are targeting wholesalers, distributors, retailers, direct or downstream B2B customers.

A loyalty program provides a great opportunity to engage with your audience. It is an important tool in the marketing toolbox, but still overlooked by manufacturing companies in the United States and Canada.

We offer reward choice


We are committed to ensuring your program participants are motivated by your reward selection, providing the opportunity to dream and using their relationship with your brand to reach their goals.

We offer exciting rewards to maximize the program value to your enrolled customers and channel partners as they earn points and redeem, making a stronger connection with your brand.

Our vast selection of 1M+ reward options - from merchandise to gift and debit cards, to leading airline travel loyalty programs, to events and concerts, to account credits, custom swag, and charities - allows each reward earner to choose what appeals to their interests.

Typically, loyalty program participants spend up to 25% more with a manufacturer. Point programs have a much higher perceived value than traditional rebate offers.

Points-based rewards programs


Your customers and channel partners can review their point totals on a branded rewards website where they can redeem points for a selection of over 1M rewards, including frequent flyer travel programs, merchandise, gift cards, experiential travel, event tickets and more.

We process your customer sales data and transactions, calculating reward values, updating reward accounts and providing you with comprehensive program metrics and reporting. We also track customer purchase data and use it to create custom offers and personalized customer experiences.

The monthly email statements sent to program participants benefit from industry-leading open and click-through rates. Your reward earners will appreciate the personalized information on their account, as well as exclusive program-related offers.
