Did you know that vehicle advertising is one of most impactful forms of outdoor advertising?
A wrapped intra-city vehicle can generate up to 16 million annual impression and can help differentiate yourself from the competition. Wrapped vehicles are rolling billboards—and when parked strategically, they can provide 24/7 branding!
SGI Partner Network has two great Partners whom can help you with all your vehicle-wrap needs, Schneider Graphics and SignZoo. To learn more about Schneider Graphics or SignZoo visit their resource page—on SGI Partner Network’s portal at www.YourSGIHUB.com.
Important announcement about A. O. Smith rebates!!!
As you may know, the process in which A. O. Smith manages rebates has changed. They have moved to an automated system, utilizing Contractor Rewards as the mechanism to manage rebates. For those that weren’t aware, SGI Members have a one-time chance to earn their Q1 and Q2 rebates in Q3.
We have two simple methods to claim your rebates for A. O. Smith: either scanning the Contractor Rewards yellow codes on each water heater or uploading an invoice with your purchases. If you’re NOT enrolled in Contractor Rewards, please enroll ASAP at www.contractorrewards.com. Please note that Canadian Members are excluded from the invoice upload process at this time. Canadian Members will need to enter their yellow label code to receive rebates.
Invoices less than 60 days old: The invoice upload functionality allows for invoices to be uploaded that are less than 60 days old. Here is a link that describes the process:
OR visit www.contractorrewards.com and click the “Submit Invoices” tab. Please note, the references to “points” in the video are accurate, but this is also the way you will be paid your rebate dollars.
Invoices greater than 60 days old: If you weren’t aware of this new process, we will allow for a one-time submission for invoices dating back to January 1, 2018. Contractor Rewards will manually process these and add these missed purchases to your Q3 rebate payout. All invoices greater than 60 days old will need to be emailed to contractorsupport@contractorrewards.com with a subject line of SGI Rebate Payout.
SGI members have until August 31st to upload or scan any missed A. O. Smith purchases. This is a one-time, get-out-of-jail-free card, so please take advantage of it.
After September 1, 2018: Label entry or invoice upload will be the only way for contractors to receive their group rebates. Members must choose whether they want to enter yellow label codes OR submit invoices, they are not allowed to enter both ways to receive group rebates. Rebates will be paid based on when the invoice was submitted. Example: if you purchased a water heater in Q2 but submit the invoice in Q3 you will get paid out in Q3.
