Driving Influencer Loyalty and Channel Performance in the Flooring & Tiles Industry

Business Challenges

  1. Low Brand Loyalty Among Influencers
    Influencers often recommended products based on short-term incentives or availability rather than long-term brand loyalty, limiting sustained influence.
  2. No Visibility into Last-Mile Influence
    The brand lacked data on which influencers were driving sales, which locations performed best, and which SKUs were being recommended.
  3. Inconsistent Dealer & Distributor Engagement
    Dealers had limited tools to motivate and reward influencers consistently, leading to uneven program adoption across regions.
  4. Manual and Delayed Incentive Disbursals
    Tracking installations, referrals, and rewards was manual and error-prone, resulting in delays of up to 30 days and frequent reconciliation issues.
  5. Limited Differentiation in a Competitive Market
    Competing brands relied on price-based promotions and basic schemes, making it difficult to build emotional loyalty or stand out.
