Follow on Google News | For Auto Dealers, What’s Old is New AgainFor many dealerships, direct mail marketing is getting its personal touch back.
By: KMG Marketing “People expect direct mail from car dealers to be all digital, with no personalization whatsoever,” Kennedy’s company, which produces direct mail campaigns for automotive dealers, has provided this “retro” marketing service for more than 500 auto dealer franchises in the United States. “It really increases their bottom line,” he says. “Dealers have told me that new customers are walking in and telling them how impressed they were by the mailer. Sometimes, that personal touch is all people need to make a buying decision.” That personal touch is extensive; for all his clients’ mailers, Kennedy makes sure that the handwriting on the note inside matches the handwriting on the envelope outside. “Consumers are savvy nowadays,” he says. “They know the difference between a handwritten note and a digitally printed one.” He observes that while other marketing companies claim to provide the same service, many actually emulate handwriting with digital printing. “They’re just using a handwriting font on a computer,” he says, “while we do all our writing by hand. The technology gets incorporated later, when we follow up with an email blast.” In an age where communication trends are always changing, Kennedy believes this approach is here to stay. “The written word will never completely go out of style,” he says. “It might be old-fashioned, but old is new again and people are loving it.” About Kennedy Marketing Group Kennedy Marketing Group (KMG) is a full service direct marketing company dedicated to provide cutting edge, state of the art sales and marketing campaigns.
