Cool Dynamics first with Panasonic rewards

UK: Kent-based air conditioning contractor Cool Dynamics has been the first to benefit from Panasonic’s Premier Reward Scheme following the purchase of 89 VRF units.

Introduced in November, Panasonic Premier Reward points are carried on all purchases of Panasonic heating and cooling products purchased through one of its authorised UK distributors. For every £1 spent on qualifying products, the purchaser is allocated one Panasonic Premier Reward point. The points can then be converted into Love2Shop Rewards.

Cool Dynamics had ordered the 89 Panasonic VRF units for a project in Central London from distributor Dysk Air Conditioning.

Cool Dynamics MD Chris Clarkson said he was “thrilled to receive the Panasonic Premier Reward points to start off the scheme and great that the Love2Shop rewards were delivered in time for Christmas”.

Love2Shop rewards can be redeemed at many online shopping outlets and are said to be accepted in over 20,000 stores, restaurants and attractions, with over 150 top brands to choose from such as Argos, Debenhams, HMV, Iceland, New Look, River Island, TK Maxx, Matalan, Mothercare, Superdrug, Halfords and many more.

Panasonic UK pre-sales manager Tony Nielsen said that Panasonic had been pleased with how the new reward scheme had been received. “We have been running several schemes over the years, but this one certainly seems to have captured the imagination of our distributors. Customers receive monthly points statements and they can either opt to redeem them that same month or save them up over the course of a year.”
