The Potential of PURLS

The more you can communicate to your customers in multiple channels the better. PURL’s often allow you to capture information via the internet that can be used to help you understand your clients. A PURL is one of the best ways to increase the response rate on your Automotive Direct Mail. PURL stands for “Personal url.” A “url” is a Uniform Resource Locator, or in layman’s terms, a personalized website.

Who is the personal in PURL?
Anyone you send an Automotive Direct Mail piece to will have their own personalized website. This is a great way to capitalize on our narcissistic tendencies as consumers. Because face it, we all love to see our own name in lights. We put on the mail something along the lines of “Attention John, check out your website below for added offers & discounts: “www.BuyACar.com/JohnSample” Every mailer will have a different website with the person’s name included in the URL.

What is the experience like for the PURL user?
•Automotive Direct Mail customer logs on to their PURL
•Fill out quick form of questions & info
•Customer receives a thank you email from dealership immediately
•They receive follow up email correspondence or email from an actual person at the dealership within the next couple of hours

Why would YOU put a PURL on YOUR direct mail campaign?
1. Reach untouched market. The people that respond to mail by walking in the door or picking up the phone are different from the people willing to go online to check things out. It is just one more avenue designed to get you sales.
2. Respondents are in the market to buy. Unlike some typical prize seekers, a great percentage of our people say they are in the market to buy in the next 6 months.
3. Boost traffic to your Website. After the potential customers log on to their personalized website we can set up a link to drive them back to your website letting them look at inventory or pre-qualifying them for an auto loan
4. Genuine Leads mean more automotive SALES. These leads are real and can be tracked in real time. You get an email stating they are looking at their PURL and that gives you the chance to follow up while they are still in the mindset of looking at cars.

This is a great internet marketing tool to use in conjunction with your Automotive Direct Mail that is greatly under utilized. You get a live interested buyer and your customer gets that personalized customer service they are looking for.
