Motor Traders need to prepare for the end of scrappage scheme

The governments scrappage scheme has been a victim of it’s own success and is expected to finish before the end of 2009, possibly as early as October. Although the scheme has seen vehicles sales increase and generated 150,000 new registrations; car dealers need to consider the strategy for new car sales within their business.

Car dealers who are pro-actively looking at ways to increase sales, should consider marketing to customers who recently purchased vehicles for after-sales servicing and marketing of customers in their existing database who purchased a vehicle over 2 years ago, for new vehicle sales. There will still be opportunities for strong income to dealers after the scrappage scheme is finished, but the motor trade industry as a whole will need to work harder to secure their share of the revenue.
