R+ Retention Card Campaigns

R+ Cards: Recalls | Recapture | Retention!

Recall Masters leverages recalls to bring consumers back into your dealership for critical service – a safety recall – service only a franchise dealer can perform at no cost to the consumer. R+ cards provide ongoing retention, reminding consumers that quality vehicle servicing and an exceptional customer experience are just a gift card away. Win back valuable customers from the aftermarket and demonstrate why your dealership is a better option for quality servicing and an elevated customer experience. R+ is uniquely designed to recapture declined service customers, orphaned owners and inactive owners. We’ll target the vehicle and owner segments most likely to schedule an appointment at your service center, increasing your customer pay revenue and vehicle sales opportunities.

To reach these hard-to-find pre-owned owners, Recall Masters deploys a proprietary digital forensics process against billions of consumer data points gathered from multiple data sources. We’ll then invite them to service with your store by deploying a highly effective communications campaign centered around customized and personalized R+ cards that yield amazing response rates.

Multi-Channel Touchpoint Campaign Cadence:

R+ campaigns begin with a Recall Department Webpage (RDWP), which allows consumers to check their vehicle for a recall right on your website. The remaining components encompass an effective blend of communications and marketing solutions that compel these consumers to reengage your dealership, feel appreciated and take action to service again! The gift card amount demonstrates your appreciation for these loyal customers, while the expiration date creates a call-to-action with a sense of urgency.

Recall Masters is working to ensure our client dealerships stay COVID resilient. As such, we’d like to share some best practices when communicating with consumers at this time. In April 2020, we facilitated a telephone survey and campaign for one of our client dealerships, connecting with 107 BMW owners who missed service appointments over the previous 45 days. Those owners cited “fears over COVID-19” as the reason for missing the appointment, requesting vehicle cleaning and disinfection from the dealership.

Approximately 90% of respondents required these services, along with remote pickup and delivery, as a condition of vehicle servicing. While many respondents found themselves facing a job loss, they were keen to hear about available discounts. The dollar amount on the gift card can be used to entice consumers to service with you at a time when they are ambivalent to spend money. We encourage your dealership to deploy these best practices as part of the R+ program. Incorporated into the R+ Gift Card campaign, this special messaging demonstrates your appreciation to loyal customers as well as shares your dealership’s commitment to safe health practices.
