10 Car Dealer Marketing Gimmicks!

In researching some car dealership gimmicks for “buy-backs”, I stumbled across this “gem” of a website that sells marketing materials for car dealerships.   With “glee” they describe in detail all of the ways to sucker in new customers..  Quite a fun read.

1. PUBLIC NOTICE & CONSUMER BULLETIN

The Public Notice & Consumer Bulletin written by Allied Advertising, Inc., have received rave reviews as some of the best promotions our auto dealers have ever done. These no-nonsense invitations have no gifts, no negotiations necessary, and no time wasted on your part. These two events triple weekend sales quite often and have broken 72 all time sales records. It's the easiest sale to do and the most fun to talk about afterward. These are strong used car promotions.

2. HANDWRITTEN INVITATIONS

The ideal letter to send someone is a handwritten letter because they always get opened. Take a close look at the font style on this invitation.
The cursive handwriting is so personal and so close to actual handwriting it is hard to believe that it is produced by a computer tens of thousands at a time. We put a real postage stamp on this envelope so you get an invitation with a real touch of class that screams to be opened. Ask to see "A SPECIAL INVITATION TO A SPECIAL PERSON" if you want to work with great scores during your next promotion. It's a new approach that makes big money fast.

3. FRESH START, PRE-APPROVED CREDIT CERTIFICATE, NEW FUNDING DEPARTMENT LETTERS

Do you offer secondary financing? Would you like to break into that market?
WE HAVE THREE DIFFERENT SUB-PRIME LETTERS THAT WORK FANTASTIC. Match one of these promotions up with a credit score list that reaches the sub-prime prospects you feel are perfect for your inventory and your financing institutions, and just sit back and watch the phone ring. No wasted advertising dollars here!!! You choose the credit scores you want. Filter bankruptcies, charge-offs or repossessions in or out, your choice.
Tried, tested and proven to work for sub-prime buyers.

4. DEALER BUY BACK LETTER

The dealer Buy Back letter works fantastic. All you need is at least 5000 names on your in-house data base. If you've got a good reputation, you've got a great promotion in the bag once a year, every year for life! A 2% response is low for this event. You make money two ways. When you sell them a new car and when you sell their trade-in. PLUS you won't need to go to the auction for a while. Stay home and celebrate. The DEALER BUY BACK LETTER WORKS!!!

This Is Not Junk Mail! These are personal invitations to your Grand Opening, Customer Appreciation Sale or Annual Anniversary Sale.
