In an economic climate where the predictions of a recession appear to be becoming reality, motor dealers need to be sure that their customer communication and prospect marketing are cost effective. With this in mind, HPI has specifically developed its new product, Customer Watch, which enables dealers to ensure that they contact the right customers, with the right information at exactly the right time.
HPI's Customer Watch informs dealers whether customers that have bought a vehicle from them still own it, or whether the vehicle has been written-off or stolen. With this valuable information to hand, the dealer can then ensure that their customer database is up to date, and therefore only contact relevant customers about forthcoming services and MOT's or with details of the latest promotions.
By means of a simple process Customer Watch can provide dealers with the reassurance that their customer communications are not only timely and targeted, but cost-efficient at a time when cost savings are key.
Daniel Burgess, automotive director of HPI explains: "By using our data, dealers can generate timely offers ensuring maximum profit is created from the initial marketing investment. It's simple and efficient. Dealers will be able to export customer and vehicle records from their dealer management systems and receive cleansed and updated information back from HPI. At a time when every penny really does count, we are proving to dealers that communicating with their customers and prospect clients does not need to be complicated, time consuming or costly."
