Panasonic x RebateM8 generated high-intent dealer enquiries at $89 CPA through a bottom-of-funnel acquisition system, delivered by Blufire

Panasonic Corporate sought to increase product sales across its Victorian air conditioning dealer network by generating high-intent enquiries that could be redistributed to installation partners. The objective was to move beyond awareness-led marketing and create a direct commercial growth lever for dealers.

Before Blufire Why were we called in?

Awareness was not translating into sales

Prior activity focused heavily on top-of-funnel brand awareness, without a structured bottom-of-funnel conversion mechanism.

No dealer-level acquisition engine

Panasonic did not have a scalable system to generate and redistribute high-intent enquiries to its installation partners.

ROAS was difficult to quantify

Without direct enquiry capture and distribution, it was challenging to tie media spend to downstream product sales performance.

The Execution Plan

How we engineered a dealer-facing acquisition system within a corporate framework.

Shift the strategy from awareness to bottom-of-funnel intent

We rebuilt the approach around high-intent demand capture using a Meta acquisition funnel. Instead of broad brand messaging, the campaigns focused on users actively considering air conditioning installation.
This aligned spend to purchase-ready audiences rather than passive exposure.

Create a redistributable enquiry structure

Enquiries were structured to be captured centrally and redistributed across Panasonic’s Victorian dealer network. This ensured dealers benefited directly from the campaign while Panasonic strengthened its value proposition to partners.
The system created shared commercial alignment between corporate and installer.

Engineer cost control through precision targeting

The funnel was built around problem-aware audiences and installation triggers rather than generic interest targeting. This improved intent quality and drove enquiries at an average $89 CPA.
At average job values ranging from $3,000 to $15,000, the economics supported strong downstream ROAS for dealers.

Prove a scalable dealer-support model

The campaign demonstrated that bottom-of-funnel acquisition could be layered into Panasonic’s broader marketing ecosystem. Rather than replacing brand activity, it added a controllable revenue lever tied directly to installation demand.
