Welcome  To  My  HoodNeighborhood Test DriveEvery car dealership in America offers a test-drive service (duh). But how many companies can say they deliver a car to the test-drivers’ doorstep and let them drive it around their neighborhood?

The test drive is a crucial component in the car buying process, letting consumers test drive at home puts them at ease in a comfortable environment. Customers are allowed to keep their prospective car for two days during this at-home test drive.

What  Are  Friends  For?Referral ProgramWhen MCMs need advice on what shirt to buy or whether or not to try some trendy new haircut, who do they go to for advice? Think about it—it’s their friends. Make Your Move capitalizes on this idea and this friend-to-friend loyalty by installing a new referral program.

After purchasing a Nissan, consumers receive a card that they can pass along to a friend or family member. When the referred friend or family member comes into a Nissan dealership, they and the person who referred them receives a free six-month SIRIUS Radio subscription.

However, the campaign does not micromanage, because where’s the innovation in that? So, to prevent robot-salesmen, idea pages have been included in the manual for employees to put their own spin on their sales pitch.

Training sessions are held for one or two employees from each dealership in the top DMAs on sensitivity towards multiculturals. Dealers often struggle to connect with this demographic, so Make Your Move wants to make it easy.

Post-PurchaseStaying in touch is important. To accomplish this, a post-purchase database of contact information is used to reach buyers. Immediately post-purchase, consumers receive an email from Nissan with a password to an online portal where they can view vehicle tips, facts, upkeep information, and a digital copy of their car manual. Plus, they can upload their own thoughts and journey onto an interactive map—creating a community of new Nissan owners.

TELEVISION

TelevisionCreating awareness is essential to building a strong campaign and brand. Although MCMS are not heavy television viewers, this medium still has the most reach. Research shows that TV is effective when done right. TV takes up half of the media budget because one spot costs more than a single run within other outlets. By using a strategy, the commercial spots spark an initial reaction at the beginning of the campaign that is necessary for continued interaction on other media outlets.

MCMs watch TV between the hours of 8pm-1am, Prime Time and Late Fringe spots, making these the best times to create awareness.MCMs watch an average of 1.5 hours of TV per day and multi-task throughout the program. It’s important to have a strong call to
