       Shared Investments: Gold to Platinum

Aaron Turnblad



This presentation will be on a project that I was assigned through my internship with Fastenal. Fastenal’s Share Investment program, a membership Fastenal vendors can join to get exclusive benefits. The main question that marketing wanted to be answered was, does switching from the Gold tier to the Platinum tier increase the amount we spend with the vendor? This was approached using a paired t-test for vendors who stayed in the Shared Investment program who were gold in 2021 and upgraded to platinum in 2022.
