Rebate programs provide a mechanism to reward partners for their end customer business.

When run correctly, a rebate program provides differentiation to drive partner preference for your brand. It’s a competitive marketplace and ensuring partners can easily understand, participate, achieve the required targets and get their rebates paid in a timely fashion will drive loyalty and brand preference.

Most channel partners have relationships with between six and ten vendors. So, it’s no surprise to learn how competitive it can be to get partners to lead with your solutions. That is why channel rebates play a critical role in driving deals to one vendor over another.

However, not all rebate programs are created equal. And a challenge for many channel partners is in navigating complex programs. As such, making partners aware of your rebate program, at any given time, is a simple key to success.

Rebates differ to incentives in that they reimburse your partners for part of the purchase price after, rather than at the time of the sale. Beyond base rates for achieving revenue or unit goals, rebate programs can be designed to provide incentives for exceeding sales goals, expanding market penetration or increasing attach rates to a sale. Traditional rebates range from between three to ten percent of the sale generated. While that may not seem like a large amount, a deal valued at $100,000 can easily drive a rebate value somewhere between $3,000 to well over $10,000. As competition intensifies, the successful management and profitability of a vendor rebates program is essential.
