A car is not an impulse purchase. It is a journey. From online orientation to test drive. From quotation to delivery and then maintenance. It is precisely in these phases that you can make the difference. Smart marketing solutions ensure that your brand is not only visible online, but is also experienced physically. This increases recognition, involvement and ultimately conversion.<\/p>\n<p>On this page, we will show you how to do just that. You will find inspiring examples and creative ideas that show how, as an automotive organisation, you can be visible at the right moments.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row row top-row\"><div class=\"vc_column_container col-md-12\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"porto-separator\"><hr class=\"separator-line  align_center solid\" style=\"background-color:black;\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row row top-row\"><div class=\"vc_column_container col-md-12\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_column-inner\">\r\n\t<div class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_left\">\r\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.locomail.nl\/en\/direct-mail\/slide-cards\/direct-mail-lock-slide-card\/\" target=\"_blank\"><div class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper   vc_box_border_grey\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"310\" src=\"https:\/\/www.locomail.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Case-mercedes-schuifkaart.jpg\" class=\"vc_single_image-img attachment-full\" alt=\"\" title=\"Case-mercedes-slide card\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.locomail.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Case-mercedes-schuifkaart.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.locomail.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Case-mercedes-schuifkaart-768x265.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.locomail.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Case-mercedes-schuifkaart-640x220.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.locomail.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Case-mercedes-schuifkaart-400x138.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.locomail.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Case-mercedes-schuifkaart-367x126.jpg 367w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/div><\/a>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2><strong>Lock Schuifkaart &#8211; Mercedes-Benz<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>For this campaign, Mercedes-Benz chose a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.locomail.nl\/en\/direct-mail\/slide-cards\/direct-mail-lock-slide-card\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Lock Slider Card<\/strong><\/a> to powerfully highlight their promotion around brake pads.

This will give you clear insight into how, as an automotive organisation, you can be visible at the right time and get more impact from your campaigns.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What exactly is automotive marketing?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Automotive marketing focuses on making brands visible and strengthening them within the automotive industry. It covers all marketing activities of dealers, importers, lease companies and related organisations. Think of campaigns around model introductions, test drives, maintenance promotions, lease renewals and events. The aim is not just to generate attention, but to build trust and encourage conversion throughout the customer journey. With smart <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.locomail.nl\/en\/direct-mail\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">marketing tools<\/a><\/strong> you can, for example, highlight a showroom promotion, test drive or service campaign.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Why is physical marketing important in the automotive industry?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Buying a car is a considered decision. Customers orientate online, but the final choice is often influenced by feeling and brand experience. Physical marketing, such as creative mailings or interactive invitations, provides tangibility. This enhances the brand experience and increases the likelihood of a message being remembered. Especially in an industry where reliability and quality are key, this extra experience makes all the difference.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>At what times is automotive marketing most effective?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Effective automotive marketing connects to concrete contact moments. Think of the introduction of a new model, a showroom campaign, a test drive campaign or the delivery moment of a car. Service reminders and loyalty campaigns around maintenance or leasing are also powerful moments. By being visible at the right moment, you increase relevance and response.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How do you combine offline and online marketing in the automotive sector?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The power is in the combination. For instance, a physical mailing can refer to a landing page, test drive request or personalised promotional code. Conversely, online advertising can be enhanced by an eye-catching direct mailing that creates extra attention value. A <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.locomail.nl\/en\/original-gift-card-packaging\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tangible gift voucher<\/a><\/strong> after a purchase or service can contribute to customer loyalty and repeat visits. Aligning online and offline communications creates a consistent campaign that is both measurable and memorable.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What makes an automotive campaign successful?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>A successful automotive campaign is clear, visually strong and consistent with the brand identity. The message should be clear within seconds: what is offered, for whom, why and when. In addition, an interactive or creative form helps hold attention. Think, for example, of a mailing with a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.locomail.nl\/en\/box-printing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">eye-catching packaging<\/a><\/strong> or a tangible element that reinforces the message. Relevance, timing and a clear call-to-action ultimately determine the outcome.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>For which companies is automotive marketing interesting?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Automotive marketing is relevant to car dealers, dealer holdings, importers, leasing companies, bodyshops and suppliers within the mobility industry. Any organisation looking to attract, activate or retain customers within the automotive market can benefit from a thoughtful marketing approach.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Automotive Marketing - Zichtbaar blijven van showroom tot aflevering!
