Email Marketing Content Ideas
Email marketing for car dealers is win-win advertising tactic. Auto dealerships benefit from email marketing campaigns because it’s affordable to send multiple messages to a target audience. Automotive email campaigns are an effective way to reach car buyers within your designated market area (DMA).

Prospecting Email Campaigns For Car Dealerships
Most dealerships are very familiar with tier 2 and tier 3 marketing. There are two main types of email campaigns done at the dealer level. Depending on your personal dealership’s advertising needs, you can choose to send an array of messaging to local car buyers. Here are a few of different types of email content you can send.
Car Buyer Lead Generation
These types of emails are the standard template for new car sales lead generation strategies. Each campaign is branded with your dealership information and includes the latest monthly deals on new cars, truck and SUVs. Some dealerships even opt to send out a weekly email with special discounts and incentives on select models. Loaded with tons of pictures and offers, these emails tend to peak the interest of a potential car buyer which results in some form of contact with your dealership.
Car Sales Follow Up
You have made contact, whether by phone, online or face to face in the showroom to discuss the sale of a particular model or a specific car. Shortly after making contact, there should be a follow-up email that goes to the potential car buyer to touch-base with them. In this email you should also provide them with important information about your dealership, what it offers and your contact details.
Trade-in Deals
Not every person responds well to a standard automobile advertisement when its time to purchase a vehicle. You can lure people into your dealership with different trade-in offers who are looking for the best deal possible on their paid-off vehicle, the junker sitting in their garage or the almost new daily driver they still owe money on. By promoting trade-in deals, you’ll attract customers who may not know what kind of car they want but they do want to get the most for their old one.

Special Dates and Events
Besides the usual email marketing campaigns that go out to your automotive email list, your dealership can also send out emails based on specific dates or events. These types of campaigns are usually personalized and geared to connect on a more personal level with the person opening the email.
- Anniversary date of vehicle purchase
- Birthday of car buyer
- Community event dates the dealership is attending
