Timing is everything — especially in automotive marketing.
From Memorial Day to back-to-school to year-end closeouts, the best-performing dealerships plan their print to match the season and the mindset of their buyers.
That’s where strategic, seasonal direct mail campaigns shine.
Why Seasonal Print Works
Built-in urgency
Whether it’s a 4th of July event or winter tire check, the calendar does the heavy lifting on urgency and relevance.
Timely offers feel tailored
Service coupons and upgrade deals feel more personal when they reflect a current need — like AC checks in the summer or holiday trade-in events.
They keep your dealership top-of-mind year-round
Even if a lead doesn’t respond today, consistent seasonal touchpoints keep your brand in their mailbox (and their memory).
What to Send & When
Spring/Summer:
Service campaigns: A/C checks, tire rotations, road trip prep
Upgrade offers: "Ready for an SUV this summer?"
Memorial Day or July 4th Sales Events
Fall:
Lease-end letters (Q4 is full of expiring leases)
Fall tune-up and brake specials
Back-to-school commuter car promos
Winter:
Holiday clearance events
Year-end tax credit reminders (great for EVs)
New Year’s upgrade campaigns
