Marketing Measured In
Deals, Not Opens.

Dealership marketing fails two ways: campaigns that never launch because the floor got busy, and campaigns measured by open rates nobody can bank. Drive AI runs your drip, seasonal, event and incentive campaigns on schedule, to the right segments, and reads the results in appointments and sold units.

A Season, On Rails.

A spring on the calendar of a store running Drive AI. Every launch happens on its date, busy floor or not.

Campaigns That Actually Launch.

The whole promotional engine, from calendar to attribution.

Drip

Long Games, Played Patiently

Ongoing drip campaigns keep segments warm between promos: owners approaching lease end, service customers, past buyers worth a second deal.

Seasonal

Promos On The Calendar

Spring events, summer clearance, winter tires. Planned once, launched on schedule, every year, without a scramble.

Events

Invitations That Book

Event campaigns carry booking links wired to your calendar, so an invitation converts into a slot, not a maybe.

Incentives

Rolled Out Same-Day

When an incentive drops, the matching segments hear it while it is news. Speed is most of the value of an incentive.

Measured

Conversions, Not Clicks

Every campaign is read source-to-close: appointments, shows, sold units. Wired into the same attribution as the rest of your funnel.

Suppressed

It Knows Who Not To Message

Mid-deal, just-delivered, unsubscribed and do-not-contact are excluded automatically. Discipline is what keeps promotions welcome.

How It Runs At Your Store.

During the build we plan the calendar with you, write the campaigns in your voice and define the segments from your real data. This is the campaign side of the house. Per-lead nurture lives in email campaigns, and the two never talk over each other.

  • Campaign calendar planned with you, then launched on schedule automatically.
  • Segments built from your CRM: equity positions, lease timelines, service history, past buyers.
  • CASL-compliant consent and unsubscribe handling on every send.
  • Suppression rules keep promos away from live negotiations and fresh deliveries.
  • Results reported by campaign in appointments and sold units, not vanity metrics.

Straight Answers.

How is this different from the email campaigns page?
Nurture follows one buyer: a sequence around their specific deal. Marketing automation runs the store's calendar: promos, events and incentives sent to whole segments on schedule. Same engine, same brand voice, different jobs, and suppression rules make sure a buyer never gets both at once.
Can it text promos, or just email?
Both, where consent allows. Each campaign picks its channels per segment, SMS for time-sensitive pushes, email for the longer story, and every send respects CASL consent and unsubscribe handling. The channel mix is planned with you, not defaulted.
Who writes the campaigns?
We do, with you, during the build, in your store's voice, and you approve everything before it is scheduled. After launch, the calendar runs itself and you review results by campaign in appointments and sold units. Your involvement becomes a planning meeting, not a production job.
