Rev Up Your Sales with Email Marketing Templates: Automotive Edition
Email marketing still holds one of the highest ROIs of any effort you can make. It’s cheap and effective, but the challenge remains: How to stand out and get your message seen to drive results. Here are some tips we’ve curated to get you ahead:
Target the Right Shoppers
Even though they turn heads, not all shoppers are coming in for a sports car. By segmenting users based on interest, you can get the best results. You can still throw a unique or tempting option in the mix, but targeting based on interest will get you the best results.
Create Content that Builds Loyalty
Don’t make the mistake of only sending promotions and car-care reminders. To really connect and make long-term loyal customers think about how you can delight, inspire, and provide value as well. Here are a few ideas to get you started:
- Include your email list in your community-building endeavors.
- Create car-care tips and safety information.
- Send out sneak peeks of new or unique models getting ready for the showroom.
- Show your team members in an authentic or funny light to make your sales team even more approachable.
- Share inside industry tips or perspectives.
Clearly Define Your Call-to-Action
Now that you’ve thought of engaging and valuable content, don’t forget the CTA (call-to-action). This is a clearly defined next step you want your reader to take. Here are a few ideas:
- Call for a Test Drive
- See our New Inventory
- Watch It in Action
- Vote for Your Favorite
- Check Out Our Limited Deals
By following these strategies you’ll add high-octane fuel to your marketing results!

Responsive Design for Smart Results
We made sure that every email template was designed with mobile in mind. Not all email templates are created equal, but you can rest assured that your email will look professional and clean regardless of what device it’s viewed on, with our mobile-first design.
Subject Lines to Spark Interest
The subject line you choose for your emails should act like a headline or movie title. It should be clear what it is but your readers will be curious to learn, see, and do more with your email. Get creative but don’t go too over-the-top with your tone. Keep things authentic and warm for the best results.
Create an Irresistible Visual Story
Think beyond the showroom when it comes to email marketing. Can your rides take them off the road to more adventure? Speed faster or haul stronger? Highlight what your cars can do and how they will make your customers feel through visual storytelling.
Set Up Email Triggers for Strong Results
You can create an email trigger automation in most email software. If not, it’s still worth thinking about creating emails for specific parts of the customer journey that you can manually send. A smart message after a test drive or appointment, a special price to help sweeten the deal, or a trade-in offer they can’t refuse after the first year or two of ownership - these specially timed emails can help you add a big bang to your bottom line.
The best takeaway you can take when it comes to email marketing is to think about your customer first - always. What do they need to make a good decision, build trust with you, and feel comfortable shopping? Brainstorm new ways to authentically connect, and you’ll have a golden year.
