Supercharge Your Strategy.

At DealerPWR, we help growing dealerships rise to the challenges of modern business by evolving their brand experience to match the changing needs of today’s consumers at every touch point. In today’s world, the most sophisticated dealers view marketing as the key driver to their business success. It’s not enough to know what makes it work—you have to know what it takes to win.

That’s where we come in.

Strategy

Designing the Strategy

Most marketing companies you meet are there to sell you something. As a result, most dealerships are paying for things they never use and rarely benefit from. Advertising has truly become a tax for having an unremarkable product.

Our goal is to eliminate the unnecessary, incorporate the essential, and leave you with a sustainable approach that will generate short-term gains and ensure the long-term health and viability of your business.

We leverage and integrate the most important business and customer data to create a sustainable strategy that will not only drive immediate inquiries but also fuel customer acquisition and business growth for the long haul.

Let’s get started.

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
Every strategy starts with how you define success as a business. These are more than reports—they are a report card.

KEY MARKETING METRICS
We align marketing data with business outcomes to ensure we’re hitting the right targets—and learning from every campaign.

LONG-TERM MARKETING MUST-DOs
We prioritize the essential elements of an 18-month marketing lifecycle—focus, funding, and optimization—and put them to work.

SPEND ELIMINATION REPORTING
Knowing what to stop doing is just as important. We help shift available resources to put money where it makes the strongest impact.

TRANSPARENT PERFORMANCE REPORTING
Making sure your marketing strategy is working is just as important to us as it is to you—and our monthly and quarterly reporting keeps us both on track and on target.

Resource Utilization

Activate With Efficiency

Most dealerships are flooded with “free” money from their manufacturing partners to activate the sales funnel—and the majority of those funds are poorly managed, invested improperly with no overarching strategy, misunderstood, or misused, resulting in missed opportunities—and ultimately lost profits. Simply put: we hate to see a good thing go to waste.

Our comprehensive Co-op and Manufacturer Resource Utilization Assessment covers all the details.

  • Manufacturer partner co-op program rules and regulations

  • Historical reporting on utilization and reimbursement

  • Roster of available co-op eligible partners (and an unbiased review of program strengths and weaknesses)

  • Optimization of partner roster with accountable metrics for each vendor.

When complete, we’ll provide a go-forward plan that aligns your available co-op dollars with your prescribed marketing strategy—effectively funding your plan with the resources already available to you.

Let’s get started.

Messaging Roadmap

The Path to Brand Awareness

Consumers are just as interested in what you sell as how you deliver on your promises. We help you articulate your brand experience so that it translates into a brand reputation that will ultimately sell itself.

Through our proven brand discovery and development process, we’ll uncover the most compelling elements of your business operation and articulate them in a way that separates you from the imposters and the imitators.

Let’s get started.

Customer Experience

Putting Your Money Where Your Mouth Is

Dealers know customers are the lifeblood of the business. But, perhaps your commitment to “customer service” hasn’t always been upheld consistently. Or you’re not sure what customer service even looks like given all the changes with technology, consumer demands and your competition.

We audit each and every consumer touch point and interaction—from the consumer perspective—to make sure it’s living up to your vision of who you are at your best. Because we won’t recommend you spend another dollar until we know with perfect certainty that the customers you attract will be thrilled to work with you.

This includes:

  • Assessing your sales process

  • Tapping into your team for service and support

  • Reviewing all outgoing customer emails, responses, and follow-ups

This audit provides an honest, thorough, and straightforward look at what you are currently doing—and provides an easy-to-implement plan for improvement for every area of your operation.
