Every year, our company hosts and attends many events, like those listed below, in hopes of engaging with potential customers--auto dealers--and strengthening existing customer relationships. When hosting an event we seek to attract qualified prospects, (i.e. a potential customer who is in-market for a new vehicle within the next 12 months), engage them once we have their attention and build brand awareness.
Events we attend and host include the following:
- Auto shows
- Local events
- Movie theaters with surprise and delight programs
- Test drive programs at dealerships
- Football games
- Festivals and fairs
- Concerts
- What are some innovative ideas for types of events (onsite or online) and consumer engagements that attract qualified prospects and drive traffic and/or leads to our dealer customers.
- How do we extend relationships with attendees beyond the event to drive traffic to dealerships and eventually result in a sale where our company gets the contract?
- What are some unique interactive experiences that could create buzz on a tradeshow floor? A tradeshow we are focusing on is in New Orleans this year, so some New Orleans-inspired ideas are encouraged.
Last year, for example, the Bumbys gave “a fair and honest appraisal of your appearance” by writing funny, uplifting comments about those who stopped by.
NOTE: Auto dealers are our customers. We are seeking unique, innovative experiences--similar to the Bumbys--that will generate excitement.
