Dealer Promo

[Kawilsonoc]

Hello. I have an odd question or proposition - and before I begin, please understand that I not a person to look for a handout or to ever ask for anything from anyone. However, I am writing on here looking for a dealer collaboration. It is my hope that I can partner with a dealer to promote their car (and dealership) in exchange for letting me drive the car for a number of months (2-3). I completely understand that this is a lot to ask, but I also know that given the right car, I can help you sell a lot of them or point people in your direction so you can get them in the right vehicle. My husband and I buy, fix & sell commercial buildings. I’ve got a lot of collateral, but not a lot of cash since our cash is currently invested in these properties for sale. I’m sure you’re wondering, why don’t I drive my existing car…well I do but my husband is also using that for work. We have a second car that is a Hellcat super stock and an additional car that we can use for collateral as well. But we are not able to pay cash for a car at this time, so I thought I would give it a whirl with a collaboration to see if I could make something work for both myself and your dealership. Should you be interested in this partnership you can put your email or number below and I will call you. Thank you for your time. I appreciate it.

This is waaaaaaay out there. Why would a dealer want to do this? Where is this car going to be driven? How much money is the dealer going to make?

Ya got some holes in this ask.

Subject: Unique Dealership Collaboration Opportunity


Hello,


I have a unique proposition that I believe could be mutually beneficial for your dealership. I want to partner with a dealer to promote one of your vehicles—and your dealership—in exchange for the opportunity to drive the car for a period of 2-3 months.


I understand this is an unusual request, but with the right vehicle, I am confident I can help generate significant exposure and drive sales your way. My husband and I are in the business of buying, renovating, and selling commercial buildings, which allows me to connect with a wide range of business professionals, investors, and potential buyers who value quality vehicles.

Benefits to Your Dealership:​

1. Increased Exposure & Brand Awareness – By driving and promoting the vehicle through social media, networking events, and professional circles, I can generate buzz and increase visibility for both the car and your dealership.
2. Direct Sales Influence – I will personally refer interested buyers to your dealership, helping drive qualified leads that could turn into vehicle sales.
3. Content & Marketing Support – I am open to creating engaging content featuring the car, including high-quality photos, testimonials, and real-world usage experiences that can be shared on your dealership’s social media and marketing channels.
4. Exclusive Audience Reach – My business network includes high-net-worth individuals, property investors, and professionals who are prime candidates for vehicle purchases.
5. Low-Cost Marketing with High ROI – Instead of spending thousands on traditional ads, this collaboration would create organic, word-of-mouth marketing that leads to genuine interest and sales opportunities.

Additional Request for Gas Card & Weekly Expense Account ($500):​

To maximize the impact of this partnership, I request a gas card and a weekly expense account of $500. This investment ensures I can drive the vehicle to key locations, attend networking events, and engage with potential buyers without financial constraints. The benefit to the dealership is that more exposure equals more sales, as I will be actively engaging with a targeted audience while driving and showcasing the vehicle.


I fully understand that this is a unique request, but I also see the potential for a dealership willing to think outside the box. If this collaboration interests you, please share your contact information, and I will be happy to discuss the details further.


Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to the possibility of working together!


Best regards,
