List of car dealers for direct marketing campaigns
More Than Words’ list of car dealers is a comprehensive database of dealerships in the United Kingdom.
The UK automotive industry contributes more than £11.9 billion to the UK economy,worth more than £60.2-billion in turnover.
It represents 11% of total UK exports, with around 156,400 people directly employed in manufacturing and over 797,300 in the automotive sector. However, car sales in the UK have continued to decline since 2018.
As a result of the reported semi-conductor shortage and the war in Ukraine, car buying in the UK fell by almost 16 per cent in April compared to the same period last year.
That’s despite the fact that showrooms were open in April 2022 after partially shutting down in April 2021 due to Covid.
As car dealers face a challenging time, they look for innovative products and solutions to sell their products, save money, and expand their businesses.

Using email to contact car dealers
Our car dealer database can be used as a B2B email list to send email marketing campaigns.
Research from the Direct Marketing Association has found that email offers an average £42 return for every £1 spent by marketers.
Results are easy to track via Google Analytics and a wide range of email marketing platforms.
Many businesses find it easier to send mass marketing emails using an email marketing service provider such as Constant Contact or Mail Chimp.
You can use these tools to
- create emails from a template,
- measure the success of your campaigns,
- A/B test subject lines, content, and imagery, and
- refine your campaigns over time.
Telemarketing to car dealers
Telemarketing data for B2B sales is useful for sales representatives to market your products and build personal connections with clients.
During a telemarketing calls you can gauge an individual’s interest level. You can also develop a rapport that makes them feel warmer towards your business and more likely to convert.
Telemarketing is an effective means of generating qualified leads, particularly from any local dealer. As you set appointments, you can explain features and benefits of your products clearly.
Demonstrating some understanding of the market and technical issues they face is key as a potential supplier.

Selling to car dealers
In contrast to a private seller in the quality vehicle market, an authorised dealer orders inventory based on a variety of set metrics. These will include market research into car prices and car finance options, car reviews online, customer feedback, and advertisement.
In order to sell effectively to dealers on your list, you will need to take advantage of all three of these elements. Just like any other business, car dealers want to make a profit while keeping their customers satisfied so that they will return. The value of your products or services should be both financially beneficial to them and transferrable to their clients.
Rather than emphasising the features and technologies you are particularly proud of, make sure your marketing communications highlight the benefits your products and services provide to customers.
Feedback from previous clients is especially helpful, especially if the clients work in car dealerships. Social proof is one of the most powerful marketing tools for businesses of all types, but especially for those in highly technical fields.
