Home > Email Marketing > Narrow Focused Email Marketing - Wheelcovers

Some customers we only see two or three times a year. This customer is a prime example of a business that needs to market every few months to a closed user base.

Other than direct to the public, our customer's main focus was on selling into the motor trade. They were possibly the first company in the UK to produce and market the stylish leather covers you see for tyres on the backs on 4x4s.

Every so often, this customer buys another campaign from us when they need to generate orders from a very loyal and satisfied customer base. They want to look like they want to stay in touch and to market special offers.

Find out the thinking behind the campaign and see their very first email advert (from way back in March 2003 and it's not changed a great deal).

Objective The goal of the email advert was to reconnect to their customer base and to potential customers in a new way.

This customer was always very creative and persistent in their marketing. Fax, telesales, mailshot - they tried them all and still continued to use them successfully.

Email was an experiment - could they get the same offers and brand qualities across in this way that they have with other.
Why did they choose us? Price - our email costs are probably the lowest in the UK for specialist business-to-business marketing. Why? We're interested in getting repeat business from you, not just the one-offs. Quality data from quality suppliers.

Spam Protection - all our emails are strictly business related and conform with the relevant 2003 EU and UK laws.

Design Services - Ashton Creative designs get results. Up to 3 times the result of customer-designed emails. The same is true for faxing, as they discovered. That's fact.
Whom were they targeting? Our data is never more than 9 months old - thanks to the specialist companies which supply us with data. We can get to just the companies you need. Click here to find out how.

Our customer was targeting only the car dealers (new and used) on our database. These are the only really significant trade buyers of their products outside car retailers (like Halfords, for which we do not have a dedicated list).
What were the results? The results compared well with other forms of marketing, generating a good number of telephone and email enquiries.

Our customer considered it a success, especially on the value for money front.

   
All figures given are based on customer correspondence with us. Email marketing is a form of advertising, and as with all advertising it can be successful as well as unsuccessful. We do not guarantee any level of response. On average, for every 1,000 email sent out, there are 1-2 opt outs, even fewer than fax broadcasting! When we receive an opt-out, we remove the number from all databases to ensure they are never emailed by us or the pool participants again.
