Webb Communications worked with Birra Peroni USA and Barton
Beers, Ltd., to design and build a national sales incentive
website. The goal of the site was to motivate and reward U.S.
beer distributors and internal staff members who exceeded
sales targets. Although Peroni is the #1 selling Italian beer
in the U.S., a challenge faced by Birra Peroni was how to
motivate its outside sales force of distributors across the
U.S. who wholesale many different beer brands. The sales incentive
website provides an effective means of motivating and rewarding
valued distributors, while differentiating Peroni from its
competitors.

Unlike most sales incentive sites, the Peroni extranet is
branded to match Birra Peroni's corporate ID. Thus, when members
of the outside sales force login to the site to preview or
order incentive gifts, the site continually reinforces the
quality and image of Birra Peroni. Central to the site's appeal
is the use of ”Peroni Dollars” for incentive gift
purchases on-line. Each award- winning distributor is provided
with multiple gifts certificates having values of $100 Peroni
Dollars or more. Managers at the distributors can give out
the certificates to their internal salespeople. Each certificate
has a unique login code that enables the recipient to register
to ”shop” for rewards on the PeroniUSA.com site.
Once registered, the user is greeted with a customized message,
including their name and how many ”Peroni Dollars”
they have available to spend. They can then shop for and order
high-end gifts and can return to the site until their reward
dollars are depleted. Secure credit card processing enables
users to purchase more Peroni Dollars to order gifts costing
more than their available reward dollars. A reporting system
allows Peroni to track all order activities by region, company
and individual user.
