For most brands, customer loyalty increased during 2020 according to J.D. Power*. The reason for a general increase in brand loyalty is not entirely clear, but it does emphasize the importance of database marketing in 2021. If car buyers are more likely to stay with their current brand, database or loyalty marketing can be a rewarding marketing strategy to improve upon to capture more sales.
The digital transformation
While there is more upside to database marketing when customer loyalty is increasing, how we bring clients back in store is changing. Our customers are spending more time online. Online vehicle shopping was already a trend prior to the pandemic, but has been strengthened by various COVID-19 restrictions and social distancing requirements which are forcing customers online. Even though most shoppers are not ready to make the jump to 100% digital car buying, it is more important than ever that dealerships adjust by adding more digital processes to meet consumer demands and enhance the online customer experience. Your database marketing must also adapt to this change.
Increasing customer loyalty signals that incremental improvements in database marketing can have a significant impact on sales in 2021 and the digital transformation is changing how we go about engaging those clients.
