Meridian Delta - Fax Broadcasting / Fax Marketing / Fax Advertising We're particularly popular with finance companies looking for vendors.

It's not just big companies which use us to find vendors - small brokers do too. Most companies using finance to sell their products are always looking around to see who offers the best rates, who has the most lenient credit scoring and so on.

By using us, you can deliver your message direct to the office of the decision maker. Read more about a campaign a small non-status finance company did with us below.
Objective
Our customer offers non-status car finance packages, in much the same way as Direct Car Finance which currently advertises on UK television.

Prior to using us, he would leaflet members of the public as well as use newspaper advertising to reach them. Our customer reported to us that, although the leaflet campaigns and newspaper advertising was successful, the cost of acquiring a new customer was still high. Added to this, many potential customers were lost when they went into a showroom which already offered non-status finance. He felt like he was creating the market for other companies.

Our customer was also looking to reduce the workload on himself. There is much more to securing non-status finance for someone than just taking down their details - more often than not, the customer needed to provide proof of identification and other financial information to get their loan. Arranging finance was a long procedure for our customer.

We were called to help. Our customer was looking for another way to reach potential customers. Using fax, he believed he could reach them at work. After a long talk about his business, we suggested he go down the proven route of finding vendor showrooms - that is, car dealers which automatically use his services if a customer can not get standard finance. 

This way, he would get the invisible sales force that a vendor network could offer, plus he would be freed of much of the paperwork requirements as they would be collected on-site by the car dealer.
Who were they targeting? Our customer was targeting car dealers in the UK. In order to give the impression that the company was a large player in the field, he only put a faxback number on the fax piece (no telephone number) and the title of the page was headed "Application Form".
What were the results? The results were superb. Out of all the dealers whom we faxed, there were 52 faxbacks within the first 3 weeks. Out of this 52, seven dealers now use our customer as their first contact for non-status finance. On average, each dealer places four proposals with our customer in a calendar month.
All figures given are based on customer correspondence with us. Fax 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. Stories covered on this website range from 2001 to the present day and were written at various points during this time.
