Ally To Launch Vehicle Marketing Program to Support Dealers

Published: March 7, 2012
DETROIT – Ally is launching a marketing program in March to help drive showroom traffic and increase new vehicle sales at General Motors- and Chrysler-affiliated dealerships. The program kicks off in the following initial test markets over the coming weeks: Ft. Myers, Washington, D.C., Houston and Detroit.

The Vehicle Intercept Program provides an opportunity for local dealers to showcase new vehicles at local community “hot spots” and educate consumers on vehicle features and attributes.

“This program is a creative way to get consumers to experience vehicles they may not otherwise consider,” said Tim Russi, executive vice president, North American Auto Operations. “We’re excited to conduct these programs with dealers to help generate leads and expand our retail financing opportunities as well.”

How it Works

Consumers who take the time to learn more about the vehicle on display will be offered a free gift card to the local business participating in the event. Following the brief vehicle demonstration, consumers will receive a special promotional code to go online and register for a test drive at one of the local participating dealerships. If the consumer visits a participating dealer and completes a test drive, they will receive a $50 gas card.

“Our ultimate goal is to help dealers sell more vehicles,” said Russi. “The Vehicle Intercept Program is another creative initiative that helps dealers grow their business, while also giving us the opportunity to strengthen our collective relationship and showcase the value we bring to their business.”
