Challenge

For the past two decades, this automotive manufacturer has been working with Concentrix to bring innovative technologies to its automotive marketing strategies. Whether it’s increasing sales of new vehicles, encouraging service visits for existing vehicles, driving more traffic to local dealer websites, or implementing social media programs to generate test drive registrations, we’ve collaborated on it all.

Over the years, digital engagement has become paramount, leading our client to recognize the necessity of hyper-personalized marketing strategies that can more effectively reach diverse customer segments. With a customer base consisting of both active and inactive users, the company sought to revitalize engagement and increase sales while also winning back former customers who had drifted away.

Solution

Turning to Concentrix’s Performance Marketing Group, the client initiated a series of comprehensive marketing programs that encompassed digital display ads, social media campaigns, direct mail, and email communication. The overarching strategy focused on leveraging data-driven insights and predictive models to design targeted, personalized interactions across all consumer touchpoints.

Key features of our collaborative approach to innovating automotive marketing strategies include:

  • Hyper-Personalized Marketing: Utilizing consumer transaction history and engagement behavior, we analyze customer segments to develop highly relevant communications with such dynamic content as:
    • Variable vehicle images tailored to each customer
    • Personalized service offers based on vehicle history
    • Customizable messaging that matched individual customer profiles
  • Multi-Channel Engagement: By optimizing the channel mix to align with customer preferences, we ensure that communications reach users where they are most likely to engage. This includes social media retargeting, email outreach, and strategic digital advertising campaigns that capitalize on customer insights.
  • Incentivized Actions: To encourage service visits and vehicle purchases, we implemented personalized incentives designed to motivate customer responses, such as fuel gift cards for registered test drives and exclusive offers on vehicle services.
  • Data-Driven Predictive Modeling: By continuously refining the segmentation strategy through robust analytics, we craft targeted campaigns that address the unique behaviors and preferences of each group, leading to a more effective approach in driving customer engagement.

“Partnering with Concentrix transformed our marketing efforts. Their team understood our challenges and crafted solutions that truly resonated with our customers. We’ve seen engagement soar, and our revenue has reflected that success.”
