"Think Clean" Campaign
"Helps improve fuel economy" is the compelling new message this year, but you should continue to support the other benefits of Exxon and Mobil quality fuels, namely:
- "Helps clean up intake valves"
- "Helps remove harmful deposits"
- "Helps reduce emissions"
- "A smoother-running engine"
Ongoing research shows that consistent messaging-delivered through efficient and effective multimedia channels- is working to increase brand awareness and strengthen brand equity:
- Total communication awareness jumped 5% year over year
- "Quality" and "Trust" scores continue to over-index versus the competitive average.
|
_____________________________Communication is KEY!
If you don't tell your customers that you are
the best gas station in town, who will?
- Identify your core customers and get to know them. Ask where they work, what their name is, etc. The more you know, the more you'll have to connect with.
- Offer to let local charities, schools, Girl Scouts, to use your facility for fundraisers like car washes, and cookie sales.
- Find outreach and advertising channels that communicate directly to the customers. Partner with other local business, utilize local newspapers and publications to solicit your business.
- KEEP IT UP! Continue to communicate consistently.
