Best Practices for Cement Dealer Loyalty
1. Slab-Based Targets
Structure rewards in slabs — different payout rates for different volumes. This motivates dealers to push for the next tier.

Don't just reward dealers. Extend loyalty to contractors, masons, and engineers who influence brand selection at the site level.
3. Seasonal Campaigns
Construction peaks during Oct-Mar. Run aggressive campaigns during these months with bonus multipliers.

Print unique QR codes on cement bags. This enables:
