A New Standard for Automotive Customer Retention

HIGHLIGHTS

Mazda Boosts Vehicle Sales with Mid-Contract Personalised Upgrade Video.

The Challenge

Mazda Financial Services aimed to deepen customer relationships and boost vehicle sales by proactively engaging customers during the midpoint of their finance agreements. However, traditional marketing approaches often failed to resonate, lacking the personal relevance neededto effectively inform customers of the options available to them.

Mazda were looking to empower customers with clear, timely information about their options midway through their finance agreements to support confident decision-making. Drive incremental vehicle sales by presenting personalised upgrade opportunities that reflect each customer’s unique needs and preferences. Enhance engagement between dealers and customers through a digital-first approach that delivers relevant insights and simplifies the path to action.

The Solution

  • Showed their current car’s valuation details (model, estimated value, settlement figure, and equity amount)
  • Presented a personalised upgrade offer for the same model they currently drive, or an alternative Mazda model that might suit their needs, complete with exclusive customer offer details (APR, finance deposit contribution, and loyalty deposit contribution)
  • Included clickable CTAs to contact their dealer or explore options on the Mazda website
