Dealers sell cars to people not the manufacturer. It is a rather clever marketing idea that someone came up with, kudos to them. Maybe Metro realised that "someone else should fix this", an attitude FAR to common even on this forum, will not work and "I will fix this" is a more successful methodology. I am just wondering how many on here who own FGs have let others drive them or even taken people (not just their best mate or family) for drives to show off just how good these cars are? Promoting the Ford Falcon is not just someone else's problem... |

National campaign - through dealers and social media - win a 3-day test drive of Ecoboost and stay at a luxury resort. Instead of 30 second ads costing $10,000 a time,, Ford PR chould coveri the promotion to dealerships thereby achieving better coverage through reaching ALL dealerships and getting the social network really abuzz...all at a fraction of television advertising. |

I have no interest in going to a luxury beach resort as a prize, I live in one. The majority of Australians would not care about this as it would be difficult to do. Who provides the car and holiday and how does the winner from Bedourie or Coober Pedy get to the car pick up point? This 3 day becomes a 9 day adventure just to test drive a car? This is a really good localised promotion which would appeal to urban city people. You really should investigate the cost of advertising. In the current economy 30 second ads on Ch 7 cost between $30 and $50 unless you want them in the middle of X-Factor or whatever. Metro Ford are advertising more than the car, they are also advertising METRO FORD. Again......why is it always someone else must do something...... |

Maybe cause Metro only sold 40 new cars last month they have decided they need to get serious.

I've entered as well.
I like Metro Ford. I didn't buy my car off them (I would have if they'd had one) but they do my servicing. Great bunch of people.
