As any foodservice operator can tell you, being able to submit and redeem promotional rebates in a timely and efficient manner is a critical element in nurturing their company's bottom line. Towards that end, more and more operators are learning about and taking advantage of the ability to submit their rebates online instead of filling out and submitting paper transactions.
Here is a short list of reasons your company should consider submitting rebate information online. As an example, we will be using the submission portal at www.fspromos4u.com.
Quick, Simple Process
Just fill in the requested information and upload your invoices. That's it. You're done! Operators can also take a picture of their invoices using their phone and then upload them using their phone or tablet. No computer necessary.
Operators are Not Dependent on the Postal Service
Rebates submitted through an online portal are received immediately and the operator receives a confirmation that it has been received. The operator is also kept up to date with a confirmation once the check has been cut and is going to be mailed. The operator can access a dashboard to view their rebate savings over time and see how the value is adding up in terms of dollars coming back to them.
Discover New Rebates
Besides submitting their current rebates online, operators can see what rebates are available and download those rebates. Operators can also opt in to receive email notifications when new rebate offers are available.
You're Now in the System
Once the operator has registered to submit your rebates via fspromos, their information is in the system. No more need to fill in their information such as name, address, city, state, zip, etc. as is needed with a paper rebate.
