3 Tips for a Successful Auto Dealership Loyalty Program During COVID-19

As of September 2020, there have been over 6.5 million cases of COVID-19 in the United States alone. All businesses should continue to take precautions when returning to business operations.

Auto dealerships can still operate a successful business. Car dealer loyalty programs are still effective even amidst the pandemic. Here are three tips to a successful auto dealership loyalty program during COVID-19.

Show Your Consumers How You Are Responding to COVID-19

It is so important to inform your consumers how you will be responding to COVID-19. A website is static and does not always show customers how a business is operating during COVID. If you want to go to a restaurant, for instance, you want to know they are blocking off seats/booths, and wearing masks and gloves. Add the steps you take in your business to your website.

  • Write your COVID-19 response clause on a central part of your business homepage.
  • Send an email to your current clients with this same information. Tell them how they can take advantage of your car dealer loyalty program during COVID.
  • Post your entry requirements on the door of your auto dealership. For example, if there is a mask mandate in your state, post a sign stating that clients cannot enter your facility unless they wear a face covering.

Return to Business with Precautions

People will not want to enter your car dealership for a new vehicle if you are immediately returning to business like it was pre-pandemic. Open your business with health and safety precautions set in place, such as:

  • 6 feet social distancing markers to show where people can stand when waiting on the receptionist.
  • Seating in the waiting area set 6 feet apart for proper distancing.
  • Sanitize the customer chairs in between consultations.
  • In between test drives, sanitize, and disinfect the driver’s seat and steering wheel.
