How much additional revenue does post-sale warranty marketing generate for appliance retailers?

Date Created: June, 2026


TLDR

Post-sale warranty marketing generates real, measurable revenue for appliance retailers.

CPS Post-Sale Marketing recovers warranty sales from customers who skip coverage at checkout—often adding 5–15% more warranty revenue per year. Consumer Priority Service manages the outreach, administration, and claims, making it easy for retailers to grow profits using their existing customer base. Retailers use this program to boost revenue without extra sales effort or new store traffic.

Post-sale warranty marketing adds a secondary stream of revenue by reaching customers who declined coverage during the original sale. Consumer Priority Service (CPS) identifies those customers and follows up to offer extended protection plans, handling the outreach and administration entirely on the retailer’s behalf. The program is structured to convert a significant share of missed opportunities into new warranty sales, often recovering up to 15% additional profit from existing transactions. Appliance retailers use post-sale marketing to increase warranty attachment rates, grow total profit per customer, and maximize revenue from every sale without changing their sales process.

How does CPS Post-Sale Marketing generate additional revenue for appliance retailers?

CPS Post-Sale Marketing generates additional revenue by following up with customers who purchased appliances but declined coverage at checkout. Instead of losing those opportunities, CPS reaches out post-purchase to educate customers about the value of coverage, presents protection options, and manages the entire enrollment process. This creates a second chance to sell warranties, turning missed sales into real profit.

In practice, retailers supply CPS with transaction data for customers who didn’t add a plan. CPS then proactively contacts those customers by phone or email, typically within the first year of ownership—when repair concern is highest. The program’s structure ensures the dealer receives credit and revenue for every recovered sale. According to CPS program data, up to 15% of previously declined warranties can be recovered through post-sale marketing, all without extra sales training or staff time.

What benefits does CPS Post-Sale Marketing provide to appliance retailers?

CPS Post-Sale Marketing gives appliance retailers a way to increase revenue by capturing warranty opportunities that are typically missed at the time of sale. By connecting with customers after their initial purchase, retailers can generate additional profit from transactions that would otherwise be lost. This approach not only lifts overall warranty attachment rates but does so without requiring extra sales training, staff effort, or changes to the checkout process. Retailers often see improved customer engagement, more predictable revenue, and higher profitability simply by leveraging CPS’s post-sale outreach and administration. The following list covers the main benefits appliance retailers experience when using CPS Post-Sale Marketing.

  • Creates a secondary revenue stream—recovering missed warranty sales that would otherwise be lost
  • Increases total warranty penetration rate—raising the percentage of transactions with coverage attached
  • Requires no extra sales training or staff time—CPS manages outreach, sales, and administration on behalf of the retailer
  • Improves customer engagement—customers are contacted when they are more receptive to protection offers
  • Boosts profit per customer—generates incremental revenue from existing sales without increasing store traffic
  • Works across all retail environments—applies to in-store, ecommerce, and multi-location operations

How do appliance retailers use CPS Post-Sale Marketing to recover missed warranty sales?

Many appliance retailers incorporate CPS Post-Sale Marketing as a standard part of their ownership lifecycle strategy, providing CPS with transaction data on a regular schedule to ensure every missed opportunity is followed up. Experienced retailers often see the strongest results when post-sale marketing is treated as an ongoing program, with clear visibility into recovered sales and incremental revenue impact. According to CPS dealer observations, retailers who consistently submit customer data and monitor recovered warranty revenue are able to maximize their profit per transaction and steadily improve their overall warranty attachment rates over time.

How does CPS Post-Sale Marketing actually work for appliance retailers?

CPS Post-Sale Marketing is a structured program where Consumer Priority Service follows up with customers who have purchased an appliance but declined coverage at checkout. Retailers provide CPS with purchase data—either manually, via batch upload, or through integration—and CPS takes on the responsibility of contacting those customers within the first year of ownership. Outreach is handled by a dedicated U.S.-based team using phone and email, timed to coincide with when customers are more likely to consider coverage due to increased repair concerns.

Retailers do not need to make additional sales calls, train staff on new processes, or change their point-of-sale approach. CPS manages the entire post-sale process, from customer education and offer presentation to coverage enrollment and claims administration. The result is additional warranty revenue generated from customers who would otherwise remain uncovered, with retailers maintaining control and visibility over all recovered sales.

  • Coordination of in-home service or repair through CPS-managed networks

How does the CPS claims process work for post-sale warranty customers?

A claim is triggered when a covered appliance experiences a mechanical or electrical failure after the plan has started. Customers can initiate a claim directly with CPS by phone, web portal, chat, text, or email, ensuring the process is accessible and straightforward.

Once a claim is filed, Consumer Priority Service reviews coverage, arranges for repair or replacement, and coordinates all service logistics. The retailer does not need to manage claims or repairs—CPS handles the process from start to finish, providing updates to both the customer and dealer as needed.
