1. Focused Automotive Marketing vs. Diversified Product Marketing
Improved Credit Notice: Our campaign is 100% focused on helping dealerships connect with automotive customers ready to refinance or upgrade their vehicles. Every marketing dollar is dedicated to delivering high-quality, actionable leads to your lot.
Capital One Mailer: While Capital One provides pre-approved auto financing, their mailers also promote a wide array of products, including credit cards, small business credit cards, checking accounts, and savings products. This broad approach dilutes their focus on driving customers to dealerships.
2. Flexibility in Financing Options
Improved Credit Notice: We provide a firm offer of credit, fully compliant with the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), while giving dealerships the flexibility to finance customers through any lender they prefer. This ensures you can create tailored solutions that work best for your customers and your dealership.
Capital One Mailer: Their pre-approvals are tied to Capital One financing, which can limit dealers’ ability to create flexible financing options and provide customers with better alternatives.
3. Proprietary Data Targeting Customers Paying Too Much
Improved Credit Notice: We use proprietary data to identify customers who have improved their credit scores but are still paying high-interest rates on their loans, resulting in monthly overpayments. These customers’ benefits are laid out like this:
- Current Interest Rate: 28.25%
- Current Monthly Payment: $373
- New Estimated Interest Rate: 5%
- New Estimated Monthly Payment: $197
- Estimated Monthly Savings: $176
- Estimated Annual Savings: $2,112
This data-driven, targeted approach connects dealerships with highly motivated buyers who are ready to save money and upgrade their vehicles.
Capital One Mailer: Their pre-approvals are limited to their customer base and don’t specifically address high-interest auto loan holders who could benefit from refinancing or upgrading.
4. Comprehensive Marketing Channels
Improved Credit Notice: Our campaign includes traditional direct mail and email, but we also offer optional integrated digital marketing to enhance your reach, including:
- Social media ads on Facebook and Instagram
- Display ads
- A pre-populated landing page for easy customer verification
- Seamless lead delivery into your CRM
This multi-channel approach ensures higher visibility and engagement, increasing your dealership’s conversions.
Capital One Mailer: Their marketing efforts are limited to direct mail and email, lacking the additional digital touchpoints that modern buyers expect.
5. Marketing Investment vs. High Cost
Improved Credit Notice: Our campaign is a cost-effective investment at $0.995 to $1.30 per piece, offering dealerships a smart way to generate high-quality, actionable leads while maximizing ROI.
Capital One Mailer: Their campaigns are a cost at $3 to $4 or more per piece, significantly increasing the expense of outreach without providing the same flexibility or comprehensive channel integration.
6. Personalized and Localized Marketing
Improved Credit Notice: We customize each notice to showcase benefits like lower payments, improved interest rates, and opportunities to upgrade to newer, safer vehicles. By tailoring our message to your local market, we help you connect with buyers in your community.
Capital One Mailer: Their messaging is standardized and lacks the personalization required to resonate with individual buyers or address specific local market needs.
7. Direct Dealer-Customer Engagement
Improved Credit Notice: Dealers maintain full control over the customer relationship, from the first touchpoint to the final sale. This fosters trust and loyalty while positioning your dealership as a partner in the customer’s financial success.
Capital One Mailer: As a third-party lender, Capital One often acts as a middleman, creating barriers between dealers and customers and reducing opportunities for meaningful engagement.
8. Exclusivity
Improved Credit Notice: We offer the Improved Credit Notice with exclusivity, ensuring only one dealership per market can use it. This protects your investment and avoids competition with other dealerships in your area targeting the same audience.
Capital One Mailer: Capital One sends their mailers to the same audience at the same time, often reaching multiple dealerships in the same market. This can dilute your dealership’s competitive advantage.
9. Greater ROI for Dealers
Improved Credit Notice: Our campaign ensures your dealership connects with ready-to-buy customers, increasing ROI by solving high-interest loan problems. By combining multi-channel marketing, personalized messaging, and cost-effective investment, you get more value for your marketing dollars.
Capital One Mailer: Their reliance on a limited set of marketing channels, combined with high costs per piece, can result in a lower ROI and missed opportunities for engagement.
The Bottom Line
The Improved Credit Notice Campaign is designed to maximize results for auto dealerships by providing flexible financing options, targeted customer data, exclusivity, and a multi-channel marketing approach. At just $0.995 to $1.30 per piece, our campaign is an affordable investment that delivers qualified leads directly to your CRM while driving customers to your dealership.
Unlike the Capital One Mailer, which comes with higher costs, limited channels, and a lack of market exclusivity, our campaign prioritizes your dealership’s success. Let’s help you connect with motivated buyers and grow your business today.
