IMN, the digital marketing company that delivers branded newsletters and content for vertical markets, today revealed results from five recent campaigns powered by Loyalty Driver Premier. Five automotive dealers earned more than $2.37 million in combined revenue and sold 54 cars by taking advantage of the fully managed marketing campaign service that delivers relevant and timely messages to customers and prospects from a single platform.

“We took a snapshot of our automotive customers who are taking advantage of Loyalty Driver Premier in order to combine demonstrated intent within newsletters with DMS data (something only IMN offers) to create meaningful, high-ROI campaigns,” explained Craig Fitzgerald, editorial director, IMN. “We found that by using Loyalty Driver Premier, customers are able to better segment and target prospects, yielding higher open rates and increasing car sales.”

On average, campaigns sent through Loyalty Driver Premier experienced a 28 percent open rate, which is about 13 percent higher than average; and, five out of every 1,000 campaign opens resulted in the sale of a vehicle.

The targeted campaign was sent to nearly 10,000 customers and prospects and resulted in the sale of 18 vehicles (seven of whom were from prospects who had never purchased from this dealer before), totaling more than $600,000 in revenue. The campaign had an open rate nearly 20 percent and converted seven prospects into buyers.
