Simple workflow
Promotional items created along with Yamaha Motor Australia’s marketing strategies are stored in template format in the dedicated portal site. Dealers can utilize the template to create various messages (sales campaign, service guide, event invitation, letter of thanks, newsletter and anniversary cards). As the creation process using templates is formed into an easy-to-use workflow, even sales personnel who are not accustomed to IT can compose well-designed messages.
Digital marketing
Dealers can send messages to customers via email or email including Personal URL. They can also provide materials that can be used on the dealers’ social media, such as Facebook and Twitter.
When the dealers order paper-based promotional items through the dedicated portal site, catalogues, direct mails, dealer store posters and banners are printed and delivered on demand from Fuji Xerox Australia’s centralized printing/delivery center. This realizes the optimal stock of catalogues at the dealers, hence minimizing cost for processing waste, and also streamlines direct mail distribution process.
Personalization
Local area marketing that takes into account the regional or market characteristics can be promoted using both digital and paper mediums as the dealers can enter their personalized messages in the templates.
By providing promotional item templates along with marketing strategies, Yamaha Motor Australia can encourage the dealers to use brand logos and product images properly.
Marketing activities conducted by the dealers through the portal site can be measured quantitatively, which would be valuable for drafting strategies or subsequent campaigns.
