Bosch is offering its extra reward scheme members 20 extra points on Bosch batteries until 31stMarch 2016, ensuring independent workshop participants will accrue points even quicker for a number of high-value rewards.
The promotion follows an ongoing offer for Bosch extra members to collect double points on Bosch spark plugs and glow plugs until 31stDecember 2015, which has proved incredibly popular so far.
Members wishing to earn the extra points should send off Bosch battery barcodes to the extra service centre as usual to receive the additional points.
“We’ve had great take-up for the extra reward scheme, which is the perfect opportunity for Bosch to recognise its loyal workshop customers,” said Mark Heard, Bosch Marketing Manager, UK and Ireland Automotive Aftermarket. “These points promotions are the first of many, which are intended to entice garages further with the brilliant rewards on offer.”
Since launching extra at the Mechanex trade show in Manchester in May, Bosch has seen huge success with the scheme, with more than 1000 garage owners signing up.
Workshops can buy Bosch products from any source to collect points for a number of attractive high-value rewards covering technology, home and garden, toys and games, sports and leisure, as well as jewellery and beauty.
Examples include Bosch power tools and home products such as irons and kettles, a Nikon camera, TaylorMade golf bag and Wii console.
Any workshop owner can join the scheme online via www.extra-rewards.co.uk or www.extra-rewards.ie. There is also a dedicated UK-based service centre, offering a free hotline (0800 028 3216) or email contact (info@extra-rewards.co.uk) for enquiries. Following the fast sign-up process, a clever barcode system allows garages to quickly gain points by sending barcodes from products via freepost envelopes, maximising the opportunity from every sale.
