PROMOTION STRATEGY

Promotion strategies will vary depending on the target market segment. Given the
importance of word-of-mouth/referrals among all market segments when choosing a
pre-driven car dealership, efforts are designed to create awareness, stimulate trial, and
build referrals. A cost effective campaign, focused on direct marketing, publicity,
Internet web page, and advertising is being proposed.

Marketing Plan

Mountain View Lease, LLC auto sales and leasing can consider developing a one-page
newsletter to be mailed quarterly to select target customers and prospects in its
database. The newsletter can be used to update clients on available vehicles, leasing
information, and tax related benefits, but also serves as a reminder of what sets
Mountain View Lease, LLC apart from other auto sales and leasing services—being a
partner.

A news release will be sent to area newspapers and magazines announcing the launch
of Mountain View Lease, LLC. Frank Simons is a member of the local Pebbles Area
Chamber of Commerce. He will also make himself available for speaking engagements
at other community or civic organizations. Becoming a sponsor in a community event
(Festival of Summer, County Fair, Autumn Fest, various parades, bloodmobiles, etc.)
is a low-cost way of increasing awareness and building goodwill in the community.

As a means of building repeat business, customers should be encouraged and


rewarded for their repeat business. This can be accomplished by offering a discount
special price to past customers who returned. Advertising is utilized primarily to
attract and inform a new car buyer or business clients for the purpose of selling them
a luxury car. It also serves to build awareness and name recognition of the company
in general which is important for word-of-mouth referrals ("Oh yes, I've seen that
company's ads before."). General methods of marketing:

Greater Pebbles Shopper/Sunday Shopper - advertising in this Wednesday and


Sunday primarily classified newspaper reaches over 33,000 homes and businesses in
the county twice each week. A 12-week schedule in the beginning will be undertaken.
Mountain View Lease, LLC can use its business card as creative, and can be placed
under the "Services Offered" section of the display/classified ads.

Yellow Pages - Ameritech Pages Plus, Greater Greater Pebbles Telephone Directory.
Research indicated that new residents or people who don't have many personal
acquaintances to ask about auto sales and leasing services will look to the Yellow
Pages to establish a list of potential auto sales and leasing services to call. Even a
small 2" × 2" boxed ad can create awareness and attract the desired target client,
above and beyond the ability of a simple listing to do so. Ameritech Yellow Pages
covers the relevant market area, delivering over 30,000 copies to residents and
businesses. Midwest Directories covers Greater Pebbles, with a circulation of 90,000,
but is considered a second-tier directory to Ameritech.

Web Page - Opportunities exist for a business to establish themselves among the fast
growing Internet information system. Internet advertising will reach area residents as
well as seasonal/tourists for their permanent homes.

Cable TV - local cable outlet commercials to air.

All advertising will be demographically analyzed to maximize exposure effect and


response.
