Briggs & Stratton engines are very recognizable in North America. However, the brand's standby generators don't share the same leading marketing position. Since their generators are sold through dealers — many of which sell Briggs & Stratton as well as competitive generators — forging stronger relationships with their sales channel was key.

Two Rivers Marketing developed Briggs & Stratton 360 Marketing — a full-service marketing, co-op marketing, and dealer support program built from the ground up for Briggs & Stratton.
We put Briggs & Stratton dealers' needs front and center — seeking out and using their input to develop a channel marketing program that helped Briggs & Stratton serve their dealers as well as they serve their customers.
Aggressive pre-launch communications included direct mail pieces and outbound calls to high-value dealers, a three-part email campaign to all dealers, and a series of webinars geared towards introducing the channel partner program to dealers and building excitement.
Sales training materials helped get the team up to speed quickly.
With this demonstration of a renewed commitment to their sales channel, dealers that had never supported Briggs & Stratton with marketing efforts utilized the 360 Marketing program - attributing their engagement directly to the co-op marketing program's flexibility and ease of use.
All KPIs for the first 12 months of the program were achieved - including metrics tied to the percentage of dealers using the program, co-op dollars spent, and increased sales among active dealers.
