Merchandising buybacks in service lane

so we’ve been talking about buying cars in the service lane since practically forever

Every once in a while we have a star sales person that will pickup 5-10 deals a month - however this is not sustainable or scalable.

I’m looking to utilize merchandising to generate 40-50 appraisals on service vehicles a month - in other words something that is scalable.

Here are my thoughts
- sometype of POP to hand upon checkin/ drop off
- hang merchandising on the wall
- hang tags upon service completion
- referral pay for service advisor

My thought is drive these direct referrrals to a specific email or text number to get the appraisal

My question is - does anyone out there have signage, have merchandising they are using with direct calls to action that is getting an engaging response?
 

✨ AI Highlights

A dealer is seeking scalable systems to generate 40-50 monthly buyback appraisals from service customers, moving beyond relying on individual star salespeople who close only 5-10 deals per month. They're exploring point-of-purchase merchandising tactics—including signage at check-in, wall displays, service completion tags, and service advisor incentives—all funneling customers to a dedicated email or text channel for appraisals. The post asks for concrete examples of effective merchandising and direct-response materials that other dealers have successfully deployed for this buyback conversion strategy.
