“Vanity numbers will always be a part of our advertising and marketing strategy.”

1-800-NEW-TOYO

Background: This area in FL is a top advertising market, with a population of over three million people and nearly one hundred automotive dealerships competing for customers.

Client: General Manager – FL
Auto dealership specializes in vehicle sales and service in Florida. They are part of the largest auto retailer in America.

Challenge: Be the standout Toyota® dealer in the competitive Florida auto market.

Solution: Use a vanity 800 number to capture the market of buyers and brand their dealership.

Results: The dealership started featuring 1-800-NEW-TOYO in 2001 to capture the new and preowned vehicle buyers in their market, which is highly competitive with a dozen dealerships selling the Toyota brand. They use the vanity 800 number as a branding tool and to ensure their direct-response campaigns are synonymous with the dealership’s name, which also helps them stand out from the competition.

The General Manager appreciates the vanity 800 number as a branding tool, which is exclusive to the Toyota dealership in their market.

“Any caller that dials 1-800-NEW-TOYO or 1-800-NEW-SCION in the advertising market is automatically directed to our dealership. By monitoring the vanity numbers, I know that we are capturing all of those callers that are interested in buying a new or used Toyota or Scion,” says the GM.

According to him, “the vanity numbers will always be a part of our advertising and marketing strategy.”
