An EOFY race for leads during inflationary times
Inflationary times bring plenty of challenges for any business and for Eyre Car Centre it was about securing inventory before the end of the financial year – prime time for car dealers.
The challenge facing the business was to deliver a steady pipeline of leads for the team to nurture into sales in the run-up to 30 June. Traditionally, it is a “noisy” time for the market with lots of dealerships vying for customers’ attention.
Another key factor in Eyre Car Centre’s needs was to execute the campaign in just six weeks; so timing was of the essence to reach as many customers as possible.
Multi-channel marketing to “draw the audience in”
We realised a multi-channel approach to marketing offered Eyre Car Centre a range of significant benefits, enabling the dealership to effectively engage with a wide audience and maximise its outreach.
By reaching customers through multiple channels, we wanted to reinforce Eyre Car Centre’s message, making it more likely to be remembered and acted upon by potential customers.
We tailored messaging and content to resonate with target audiences, to increase the likelihood of capturing their attention and interest.
The tactics deployed in the campaign included:
- a TVC (Television Commercial)
- Facebook & Instagram Automated Inventory Ads
- Website creative with banners and landing page artworks
- EDM (Email Direct Marketing)
- An SMS strategy
