The basics
What is a plywood and laminates loyalty program?
In plywood, laminates and furniture hardware, carpenters and interior contractors are the key influencers. The homeowner chooses a look; the carpenter often chooses the board, laminate and hardware brands, and buys from the dealer they trust. A loyalty program in this category rewards carpenters and contractors for choosing your products and dealers for stocking them.
Carpenter programs typically use a QR code on each sheet, laminate or hardware pack: the carpenter scans, earns points and moves up tiers. Dealer programs use purchase slabs, range targets and display rewards.
Carpenters work job to job and often in teams, so programs need simple earning, fast rewards and clear rules about who earns on a project.

Designing it
How to design a plywood loyalty program
Build around the carpenter's job. A single kitchen or wardrobe can use plywood, laminates and hardware; cross-category bonuses reward carpenters who use your brand across the job, not just for one product.
Decide how team credit works. Carpenters often work under a lead carpenter or contractor; configure whether points go to the lead, the team or both.
For dealers, combine purchase slabs with display and range rewards, verified during field-rep visits.
- Cross-category bonuses per job
- Team credit rules
- Instant points, cash rewards
- Dealer display and range rewards
- Programs in the carpenter's language
Measuring it
What to measure — and what to avoid
Track active carpenters, categories scanned per carpenter and premium-range share. Multi-category carpenters are the clearest sign the program is building loyalty.
For dealers, track display compliance and range breadth. Review fraud alerts on high-value scans.
Avoid making the program complicated. Carpenters respond to simple earning and fast, tangible rewards.

How do you stop fake claims and duplicate scans?

How is TDS handled on partner rewards?

Reward Max tracks rewards per recipient, verifies PAN and deducts TDS automatically. Confirm specific cases with your tax adviser.
