FMC launches Early Order Program

FMC Professional Solutions has launched its Early Order Program. It runs now through Dec. 20 and allows participants to purchase products at current pricing prior to 2014 price increases, receive a base rebate incentive and take advantage of extended payment terms.

An October Incentive and a “2 for 2” Portfolio Bonus offer additional savings for turf and ornamental professionals participating in the 2013 Early Order Program.

Products included in the program are Blindside, Dismiss, Dismiss South, Dismiss CA, Echelon, Solitare, QuickSilver and SquareOne herbicides, as well as Segway fungicide, and select Talstar brands, Onyx and Aria insecticides.

The October Incentive allows participants to earn an additional 2% rebate when they purchase qualifying products between Oct. 1 and Oct. 31 whereas the “2 for 2” Portfolio Bonus enables participants to build their own portfolio and earn an additional 2% rebate on their entire order when they purchase any combination of two brands of qualifying herbicides or insecticides with a minimum purchase of $1,000 (assuming the $2,500 total minimum is reached).

“Other Early Order Programs make you take bundles of products (with some that you may not want) for the biggest discounts,” said Adam Manwarren, FMC brand marketing manager. “Our program offers you flexibility, while capitalizing on our full portfolio of turf and ornamental solutions.”

The program’s rebates are tiered based on purchase amounts:

• Spend between $2,500 and $4,999 and receive 3% back with total rebate potential of 7% when participating in October Incentive and “2 for 2” Portfolio Bonus
• Spend between $5,000 and $7,499 and receive 4% back with total rebate potential of 8%
• Spend between $7,500 and $9,999 and receive 5% back with total rebate potential of 9%
• Spend between $10,000 and $14,999 and receive 6% back with total rebate potential of 10%
• Spend $15,000 or more and receive 7% back with total rebate potential of 11%

In addition, program participants enjoy deferred payment for purchases of qualifying FMC agency products made during the Early Order period until the end of June 2014. To qualify, rebate forms must be submitted with copies of invoices by January 15.
