We don't mail broad lists. Marketing Box classifies every customer using real purchase and service history from your DMS — turning your database into precise, actionable audiences. Here's the full set of segments we build campaigns around.
- Sales — new/used vehicle, buyback, conquest, and upgrade.
- Service — retention and reactivation, scored by time since last visit.
- Lease — high-value maturity campaigns timed to lease end.
- Subprime — special-financing audiences built with credit overlays.
Every segment below is built automatically from your DMS purchase and service records, then matched, cleaned, and verified through our 10-step data hygiene before a single piece is produced. The same segments power direct mail, email, SMS, and Meta audiences — coordinated to the in-home date.
Sales Audiences
Sold & Serviced
Customers who purchased a vehicle from you and have service history — your best, highest-lifetime-value customers.
When to use: Loyalty offers, referral programs, premium service packages, thank-you campaigns.
Sold, Not Serviced
Purchased a vehicle but has no service history — at high risk of defection to an independent shop.
When to use: Win-back campaigns, service introduction offers, "we miss you" mailers. See why dealerships lose service customers.
Serviced, Not Sold
Services with you but bought their vehicle elsewhere — a prime conquest opportunity already in your building.
When to use: New and used vehicle sales conquest campaigns.
Upgrade Candidate
Vehicle is 5+ years old — strong potential to move into a newer vehicle, especially with today's payment dynamics.
When to use: New/used sales and trade-in incentive campaigns. Pairs perfectly with equity mining.
Service Audience
Lapsed & Overdue Service
Customers who are due, overdue, or have gone quiet since their last visit. We score each one by how long it's been so the message and urgency fit — from a gentle "due soon" reminder to a lapsed-customer win-back.
When to use: Service reminders, overdue follow-up, and reactivation campaigns. See why dealerships lose service customers.
Lease Audience
Lease Ending
Lease expires within 6 months — one of the highest-value segments for trade-in or new-lease offers.
When to use: Lease-end renewal, pull-ahead, and conquest campaigns timed to maturity.
Subprime
Subprime is built as an overlay rather than a standalone segment: we layer credit attributes on top of the audiences above. A common high-performing combination is "Sold, Not Serviced" paired with a subprime credit profile — customers who bought, may have improved their credit, and could re-qualify for a better payment. Dedicated subprime data appends are used when building lists for special-financing creative.
