If your interested in acquiring customers and
sales while we are in a recession, you need to know
that your customers are the most importatn piece
of your marketing efforts. It is now even more important
to identify your customers' needs and then look
to over accomodate them. If not - you will be losing
your customers to your competitors. It is that simple.
Stand behind the promoise of what your Dealership
stands for. Deliver consistent quality service and
strive to make every customer interaction flawless.
Review every processes from your customer’s point
of view. For example: Is making an appointment simple?
Are your sales staff courteous and efficient? Is
checkout handled flawlessly? Don’t forget your website.
Is it customer-focused, professional, and well organized?
Can your online visitors find information quickly
and is it written clearly and full of benefits?
Market your strengths to the customer. If you haven’t
identified a value proposition, take the time to
do so – NOW! Each piece of marketing collateral,
each ad, and every page on your website should identify
a unique value proposition that differentiates your
Dealership from your competition.
Deliver Value. During a recession, customers are
looking for value and this does not necessarily
equate to price. Customer perception is critical.
They must see your Dealership as superior to your
competitors or they won't stay with you.
In touch economic times, it’s more important than
ever to be proactive. If a customer comes to you
with a concern, react quickly. If a website visitor
makes an inquiry, respond promptly and courteously.
Make it a policy to demonstrate that you value your
customers.
During a recession, customers don’t stop buying
altogether. They buy more judiciously and they spend
their dollars on services they value and with merchants
who value them. After this recession is over, the
winners will be those who took the time to bolster
their brand and market to their strengths.
