Samsung Learn & Earn
The Samsung Learn & Earn platform allows Samsung to easily incentivise and reward their Retail Sales People (RSPs) for participating in training events and retaining knowledge.
Brand Summary
The Samsung Home Appliance Division in Australia sells a range of electrical goods such as washing machines, dryers, TV, audio, and vacuums. These products are primarily sold through retail stores including Harvey Norman, Good Guys, JB-HiFi, BettaGroup, BingLee and Myer.
There are approximately 6000 retail salespeople employed throughout these retail stores in Australia.
The Brief
Samsung recognised that by training the front line sales staff with product knowledge, they sell more products.
They therefore sought a rewards platform that integrated the various aspects of the Samsung Home Appliance Division’s training provided to Retail Salesperson (RSP’s).
Samsung wanted the system to be a simple and fun hub for earning and redeeming points in exchange for merchandise and entries into raffles.
Key Objectives
With a custom-built training app, Samsung Home Appliance Division aimed to:
- Improve the knowledge base of their RSP’s with a user-friendly and engaging mobile training application
- Convert more sales due to higher staff competency
- Improve the attendance of RSP training
- Improve the quality of their training offering
- Measure trainer and RSP performance
Our Solution:
Samsung Learn & Earn
Stamp Loyalty developed the Samsung Learn & Earn platform, which operates on two different native mobile apps - one for RSPs and the other for Samsung Training staff.
The Learn & Earn platform allows Samsung to easily manage training events, measure and reward knowledge retention and track trainer performance.
In order to track in-person attendance at training events, RSP's present their unique membership QR code (on the RSP app) for trainers to scan (through the Trainer app). Points are then automatically issued to the RSP’s account.
The retail staff can either win instant prizes or redeem their points in exchange for Samsung merchandise or entries into raffles to win gift cards from third-party brands. Stamp Loyalty handles the fulfilment of both the physical merchandise and digital vouchers.
