Take This One for a Spin
The challenge
When Jaguar launched the “Jaguar ALIVE Driving Experience”—a series of driving events across the country—it needed a CRM solution that would allow it to connect with over 18,000 in-market owners, hand raisers and conquests across 18 cities. To accomplish this, Jaguar turned to Plan B.
The insight
When it comes to shifting consumer preferences, research indicates that a “hands-on” experience is key. For Jaguar, this “hands-on” interaction is the experience of driving a Jaguar car. To create more opportunity to put people behind the wheel of its vehicles, Jaguar created a series of highly-exclusive, invite-only events, featuring professionally-coached exercises on closed courses and product demonstrations that put prospects in-command of its vehicles.
The solution
Plan B developed and executed a robust CRM communication plan with various touch points, including a direct mail invitation, follow-up postcard invitation, confirmation email series, handout invitations and a post-event thank you email with offer. Communications were crafted to accomplish three key goals: to encourage consumer registration for the event, drive qualified traffic to dealerships, and convey the brand’s commitment to Style, Performance, Technology and Refinement.
