Marketing Strategy for
Automotive Businesses
Generate leads, increase brand awareness and improve the experience you provide to your customers
Are you struggling to create a clear plan to achieve business success?
Are you finding it difficult to attract enquiries and bring more customers through your doors? Do your current marketing efforts feel fragmented and ineffective? Many automotive businesses face these challenges. Without a clear marketing strategy, it’s easy to feel like you’re wasting time and resources.
Drive growth with a tailored marketing strategy for your automotive business
With over 17 years of senior-level marketing experience in the automotive industry, I provide marketing strategies that help your automotive business thrive. A tailored marketing strategy will help you:
- Attract more enquiries and footfall
- Align your marketing efforts to achieve measurable results
- Maximise your marketing budget for better ROI
- Differentiate and set yourself apart from your competitors
Are your local marketing efforts not driving the results you need, leaving your dealership receiving fewer enquiries and your showroom quieter than it should be?
Increase enquiries and showroom traffic
With a focus on targeted online and offline campaigns, you’ll see a significant increase in enquiries and showroom visits. Effective and engaging local marketing strategies will bring more footfall to your dealership, driving more in-person enquiries and leading to higher sales.
Is your customer data fragmented and your current marketing strategies ineffective and poorly targeted, missing the mark with your potential customers?
Effective, data-driven marketing campaigns
By leveraging your existing customer database effectively, your marketing efforts will be well-targeted ensuring you reach the right customer at the right time, and you’ll create personalised marketing messages that resonate. You will achieve better ROI on your marketing spend by focusing on effective, result-oriented campaigns.
Does sporadic engagement, low customer loyalty, and poor aftersales follow-up affect your brand’s reputation and reduce repeat business opportunities?
Improved customer relationships and retention
Consistent, personalised engagement and follow-up will lead to positive reviews, higher customer loyalty and stronger relationships with your customers.
Are you competing against larger automotive businesses with bigger marketing budgets making it feel like an uphill battle?
Expert marketing support without the overheads
Get the marketing support you need, with tailored marketing strategies to compete effectively against larger rivals, without the cost or commitment of a full-time marketing director.

Having been a supplier for Anderlea for several years, when the opportunity arose to establish my own business, navigating the complexities of marketing became crucial for our business. Without hesitation, Anderlea was the first name that crossed my mind.
In the early stages of our venture, we faced the challenge of introducing our product to potential customers. Anderlea played a pivotal role in not only executing the necessary tasks but also in shaping our overall strategy. She seamlessly integrated into our small team, becoming an invaluable additional member.
