Volume incentives, as defined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), refer to financial benefits offered to dealers by home manufacturers based on the volume of manufactured home sales. These incentives can be in cash or other forms and are part of a structured marketing plan. They are designed to reward dealers for their sales performance, provided certain criteria are met.
Volume incentives are primarily used in the context of sales agreements and marketing strategies within the manufactured housing industry. They are relevant in legal practices relating to commercial contracts and trade regulations. Users may encounter forms related to these incentives when negotiating sales agreements or participating in promotional programs. Legal templates from US Legal Forms can assist in drafting or reviewing such agreements.
Here are a couple of examples of abatement:
Example 1: A manufactured home dealer sells 50 homes in a quarter. The manufacturer offers a volume incentive of $1,000 for every 10 homes sold, resulting in a total incentive of $5,000 for the dealer.
Example 2: A dealer in a specific market area is eligible for a promotional bonus if they exceed sales of 20 homes in a quarter, which is part of the manufacturer's volume incentive program. (hypothetical example)
Examples of state differences (not exhaustive):
| State | Volume Incentive Regulations |

| California | Regulations may require specific disclosures to consumers regarding incentives. |
| Texas | Incentives must comply with state sales tax regulations. |

| Term | Definition | Difference |
|---|---|---|
| Volume Discounts | Price reductions based on the quantity purchased. | Volume incentives are benefits paid to dealers, not direct price reductions for consumers. |
| Promotional Allowances | Funds provided to support marketing efforts. | Volume incentives are specifically tied to sales performance, while promotional allowances may not be. |
If you are a dealer eligible for volume incentives, review the manufacturer's marketing plan to understand the criteria and benefits available.
