TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. & ROSEVILLE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Janco International, provider of point-of-sale software for the automotive repair industry, and CustomerLink Systems, a marketing services company specializing in the automotive aftermarket, have announced a formal partnership to increase customer retention and provide new customer prospects for the more than 1,000 automotive service facilities using Janco software. The partnership includes reduced rates for marketing services consisting of traditional marketing, like postcards and email service reminders, and Internet marketing, like the automation and operation of a shop’s Facebook and Twitter pages and the gathering of customer reviews to be posted online and picked up by search engines like Google, Yahoo, and Bing.
“We chose CustomerLink,” said Janco President Jan White, “because they offer the widest range of marketing services. We want our customers to have access to as many avenues for building their businesses as possible. Plus, we really liked the demographic reporting that goes into [CustomerLink’s] marketing strategies. It’s very powerful, and we couldn’t find anyone else capable of doing it.”
CustomerLink has developed a demographic “segmentation” system to analyze and categorize shop customers by using a variety of consumer data sources, geographic mapping, and information extracted from software like Janco’s StockTrac® Enterprise program. “All our marketing pieces, campaigns and recommendations are based on real consumer data,” said CustomerLink Channel Manager Joe Gibson. “What we do for shops isn’t generic. Everything is specific, both to the shop and to each of the shop’s individual customers. That kind of detail makes a difference that can be measured in ROI.”
CustomerLink Systems is a marketing solutions company established in early 2000. It’s a results-driven customer retention services company offering marketing programs for automotive repair facilities and other service industries. Using consumer research and demographic technology in conjunction with satellite mapping, social media, and other technologies, CustomerLink helps businesses grow and improve profitability.
