Autologue says it believes everyone needs quality marketing for their businesses to grow. “We are very excited about the opportunity to expand our national marketing footprint with this addition to the Autologue family," said Jim Franco, president/CEO of Autologue. "Autologue and Midnight Marketing share the same set of values in providing quality products and delivering outstanding customer service. We’re extremely happy to offer innovative marketing solutions to our clients, at prices that are well within their budget. Our No. 1 reason for acquiring a marketing firm is to help our parts distributors increase their communication and relationship with their professional technicians.”
Autologue’s eMarketing staff will work with its customers to define specific needs by collecting information, evaluating competitors, determining target audiences and providing incentive promotions, including rebates, contests, reward cards and loyalty programs. Autologue says it also recognizes the value in helping its customers help their customers with marketing tools. Autologue plans to assist parts distributors in promoting the use of eMarketing tools to their professional technicians, helping increase their customer base.
