How Codirect works:

1

You check a few boxes.

Only a single 30-minute enrollment session is necessary to start the process. Our experts walk you through your campaign trigger options - like declined repairs, birthdays, trade cycles, and more - and recommend offers that drive engagement.

We create a framework of opportunities.

Our in-depth market evaluation identifies active and inactive customer records and scrubs fallout records - like unrealistic drive-time, non-mailable addresses, title transfers, and data that’s more than five years old. We add brand conquest and crossover in-market data to create a truly impactful communication list.
According to 9 Clouds Marketing, over 90% of dealerships already utilize basic contact info to engage leads. Separate your team from the crowd with next-level engagement data.

We build out the campaigns.

With multiple video communication mediums available, including video email, video text, and video-centric direct mail, your campaign comes to life without your team having to lift a finger.
Codirect Case Study: Over its first six-month span, 31% of repair offers completed at Tampa Honda were thanks to Codirect.

You reap the rewards.

With Codirect operating completely in the background, your team benefits from once-inactive customers re-engaging and current customers making use of your entire dealership lifecycle—from sales to service and back again.
