Point-of-Sale Laminates
Point-of-Sale Laminates and F&I Upgrade Laminates are included with each vehicle maintenance plan to inform customers at the delivery of the Maintenance Included benefits available with their purchase. Sales materials are branded with your logo and dealership identity and highlight your maintenance benefits and unique offerings to show customers what sets you apart from the competition.
“Why Buy Here” SalesLaminate
Sales Laminates build transactional value and help you seal the deal at delivery by highlighting maintenances included with the vehicle. Laminates are customized to highlight the benefits of purchasing and servicing with your dealership and inform customers of Welcome Kits that will be sent after delivery.
F&I Upgrade Laminate
The F&I Upgrade Laminate is similar to the Sales Laminate but is used after delivery to give customers an option to upgrade their plan to an extended-term at substantial savings. The right column provides an overview of pricing differences, whereas the back-side shows a complete breakdown of savings.
Service Reminders Based on Driving Habits
Email•Text•Phone •Postcard
Customers receive personalized service reminders based on their driving habits and before scheduled appointments. Reminders are available in the form of a postcard, email, phone call or text message. Service Reminder preferences can be updated on MaintenanceProgram.com Service Management Software and personalized messaging can be added to inform customers of promotions and special events.
Lost Opportunity Transformer™
The Lost Opportunity Transformer™ captures customers who are overdue for service and sorts them by “Days Past Appointment” so you can send targeted messages to invite them back and recuperate lost opportunity dollars. This tool is unique to Performance Administration Corp., as no other Complimentary Maintenance Program provides a solution to reaching out to defected customers to drive them back for service.
