Results and Effectiveness

The full campaign (radio, press, online, and ambient) had the following results: Total number of respondents 4610 26% traffic increase on contactcars.com

Creative Execution

Egyptians sell their cars by sticking a simple print out with the words "FOR SALE" on it with the car specification and the phone number. We did the same but only replacing the phone number with the installments’ table (tailored for the best selling car brands in Egypt). One side of the paper targeting passers by with the message “for sale in installments” and the other side for the car owner inviting him to buy the lastest model of his car in installments.

Insights, Strategy and the Idea

Create awareness for Contact Cars’ new finance scheme for used cars. Now you can buy used cars in installments. The target are those who are looking to purchase a used car, and do not want to pay for it in full at one. Contact Cars was previously known as a financer for new cars and has a large number of clients. In Egypt, the used car market is driven by person-to-person selling so in order to not leave out this bulk of business.
