Celebrating findandfund
It’s not enough for us to just tell our dealers that findandfund is valuable, we’ve been telling our customers too. Helping customers along their buying journey, our biggest campaign of the year saw 30 lucky customers win £1,000 off their vehicle finance. This drove a significant increase in findandfund account area sign ups, generating more leads in the account area than ever before.
Here are a few other things you might have spotted last year:
- A new influencer campaign, working with social media personalities to help spread the word
- Targeted and tailored digital advertising that shows findandfund in the right place, at the right time
- Regular outreach stories, sharing insights and data with the UK’s biggest news outlets
- Improved email communications to support our customers throughout their entire agreement
