In most cases, the answer is no – not by themselves. Many drivers believe that franchise dealers do not want to drive their old cars. Even OEM campaigns have struggled to reach any market share for vehicles that are four years old or older.

There are reasons for this. The cost of creating and running their own marketing campaign to win customers is not cheap. As one student said in a recent AM webinar: “It costs more to get a customer than the cost of the service”.

With cars between the ages of 0-3 dwindling, it is more important than ever for franchised dealers to fill their showrooms with older vehicles. However, it is very difficult for their marketing departments to overcome the misconceptions that consumers have about their cars being sent to dealerships. Consumers believe that:

1. Advertisers are not interested driving vehicles 4+ years old

2. Franchised dealers will only ship the vehicle if it has been there purchased through them

3. Franchise delivery is expensive

Success of SecretService^TM it proves that all these problems are possible. More than 80% of bookings through the after-sale market are repeat customers – in other words, they have never seen a garage before.

Especially since retention is going to be more difficult in the future – keeping a declining customer base is not the answer, so finding new customers is essential.
