The automotive industry is a vital part of the UK economy accounting for more than £82 billion turnover and £20.2 billion value added. With some 186,000 people employed directly in manufacturing and in excess of 856,000 across the wider automotive industry, it accounts for 12.0% of total UK export of goods and invests £3.65 billion each year in automotive R&D. More than 30 manufacturers build in excess of 70 models of vehicle in the UK supported by 2,500 component providers and some of the world’s most skilled engineers.

Central Mailing Services understand that the automotive industry is constantly under financial and environmental pressure. From emissions to production plant closures, innovation such as electric to independent servicing; the time has never been greater to use Direct Mail to increase both new car and maintenance sales.

In order to stand out from the crowd, you need a well-planned and well-executed marketing strategy. Clearly defined branding and targeted content can help you deliver a personalised experience that will give you the edge over the competition.

At Central Mailing Services we are experts in Direct Mail for the Automotive sector, we believe we have the experience and expertise to get the best ROI from your Direct Mail campaign. We work closely with Marketing Teams from designing, printing, personalising and mailing fast turnaround campaigns. We often turn a complete design, print & mail campaign around in 24 hours due to our in-house capabilities.

Direct Mail is proven to have a longer lifespan than other marketing method. It is the most likely form of communication to be stored and re-read or shared at a later date.

Why Choose Central Mailing Services As Your Automotive Mailing Partner?

Central Mailing Services have experience of processing mailings for manufacturers such as Bentley, BMW, Mini & Audi. We have helped promote new car models using very powerful Direct Mail concepts such as bespoke envelopes, variable data and image personalisation and the use of product samples such as chocolates and tea bags! These mailings tend to be heavily personalised helping to build a connection with audiences; increasing response rates and leaving a lasting impression.

We understand the need to engage with customers on a regular basis to maintain brand loyalty. Having invested time at dealership level we understand that revenue through the workshop is an important revenue stream, we therefore work with a number of dealerships and workshops to produce regular service and MOT reminder mailings, we dispatch these mailings daily, weekly and monthly and include follow-up mailings which include promotions.
