Customer Loyalty Case Study in the Automobile Finance Industry

Using Customer Loyalty Segmentation to Identify Growth Potential

BACKGROUND

The strategy for the Auto Finance division of major money center bank called for it to focus a significant amount of marketing effort on finance managers at automobile dealerships across the country.  These auto dealership finance managers were a major source of auto loans for the bank, as car buyers turned to them for guidance in financing their new car purchases.

SITUATION

A critical way the auto finance division examined the relationship with the automobile finance managers was whether a particular finance manager considered this bank his/her primary source of loans or a secondary source.  More specifically, did the automobile finance manager send all the auto dealership's credit applications to this bank or just those that had been rejected by other banks?

MARKETING MANAGEMENT QUESTION

For which segment should the marketing efforts be focused - the relatively small segment of auto finance managers for whom the bank was a primary source of loans and was giving a larger percentage of their business, or the larger segment of auto finance managers for whom the bank was a secondary source of loans and was giving a smaller percentage of their business?
