Bringing your customers home is what we do best.
Wellington Consulting has been delivering customer retention solutions and driving profitable dealership marketing strategies for over 35 years.
Personalized, perfectly timed customer retention marketing
Customer retention is one of the greatest challenges facing car dealers today, particularly in fixed operations. With customers driving their vehicles longer than ever before, timely, personalized customer communication is the solution to reversing the trend of customers defecting from OEM service to 3rd party shops after warranty expiration.
Most marketing providers selling to dealers offer nothing more than a library of creative assets, with the expectation that dealership teams will handle the execution of their own marketing strategy. Plus, very few will offer any form of accurate reporting, making it difficult, if not impossible to accurately determine the ROI on marketing spend.
We think that dealership teams have enough to worry about, and marketing ROI should be clear and transparent. Our solutions are proactively managed by digital marketing experts, and backed by a custom design team.
