IMN, the e-communication company that says its service is the most widely used by auto dealerships, announced it has been selected as a Strategic Partner and e-newsletter provider for Ford Motor Company dealers. IMN says its Loyalty Driver e-newsletter is fully managed and designed specifically to help auto dealers connect with customers and prospects and build loyalty. The agreement enables Ford dealers to access a brand specific package to communicate with customers.
Loyalty Driver says it can help Ford dealerships attract and engage readers using value-added content such as video and lifestyle articles paired with promotion and coupon offerings that drive sales.
“Our experience with IMN has been fantastic! Traffic to our Web site, the number of internet leads and service department activity markedly increase the week our e-newsletters publish,” said Tom Ausdenmoore, Business Development Manager, Marc Heitz Auto Family. “But most of all, we always receive reply notes from many of our sales and service customers indicating that they're paying attention out there. You can't get those results with most any other form of media.”
In addition to the e-newsletter, Ford dealers will be able to showcase Ford DriveLive TV videos, feature Show Your Phone mobile coupons, access ROI reports, append emails and send FollowUp e-mails for communications in-between the monthly e-newsletter. The result is a solution intended to help Ford dealerships cut through the clutter and identify the readers most likely to purchase a vehicle or service within the next few months.
“With the best product lineup in its history, Ford Motor Company dealerships have a tremendous opportunity to pull in market share and keep customers and prospects engaged. Our special package of customized lifestyle content, videos and Show Your Phone text messaging will allow Ford dealers to continuously build and reinforce the value of Ford products and build loyalty for ongoing sales,” said Brian Epro, Director, Automotive Services group, IMN.
