How does CPS Post-Sale Marketing actually work?
CPS Post-Sale Marketing works by identifying customers who purchased appliances or electronics but did not buy warranty coverage at checkout, and then contacting them directly after the sale to offer protection. CPS handles the entire outreach and enrollment process on behalf of the retailer.
In practice, appliance retailers provide CPS with customer transaction details—often as a batch file, POS export, or integration. CPS then initiates outbound calls and email follow-ups using a U.S.-based team, presenting eligible warranty options to those customers. All program administration, sales, and customer support are managed by CPS, so dealers do not need to train staff or change in-store workflows. According to CPS program data, post-sale marketing typically recovers up to 15% of previously missed warranty opportunities, increasing total warranty revenue without additional customer acquisition costs.
- Retailer provides CPS with past sales data (customers who declined warranty)
- CPS contacts eligible customers by phone and email to offer coverage
- CPS enrolls customers who accept and administers the warranty
