Driving Sales and Aftersales for Local Dealerships

As one of the fastest-growing, most lucrative vehicle segments, the demand for commercial vans has been steadily growing in recent years. And with the growth in new vehicle sales comes growth in after-sales and service, offering big opportunities for big revenue growth at MB dealerships. Partnering with MBUSA for its Sprinter brand, our team applies its 35 years of proven success in fully-managed dealer marketing programs to deliver Tier I and Tier III targeted communications that drive new vehicle sales, after-sales and service revenue for over 90% of participating Sprinter dealers in MBUSA’s network.

Branding

We’ve taken after-sales to a whole new level with the introduction of VANCARE, an innovative branded approach to service and maintenance that builds credibility and customer loyalty for this hugely profitable side of the business. The frank Agency partnered with MBUSA to develop the new VANCARE program from top to bottom. From the new logo, to dealer launch/education materials, customer welcome pieces and a full array of marketing campaign elements, VANCARE presents an integrated message to internal and external audiences alike. And based on the program’s success right out of the gate, the program has been extended with the addition of VANCARE Express and VANCARE Mobile – taking care of customers whenever and wherever they need service.
