A recent blog post on Car Leasing News discussed how leasing companies have been attracting new customers given the current economic climate.
The post described how over the past few months large mail campaigns have been the latest way in which companies have been distributing material to attract customers.
The reasons for this is the relatively low costs of sending out material via ‘snail mail’, envelopes can be purchased for very little when bought in bulk, flyers have already been printed so that cost has already been accounted for and stamps can now be bought online with a bit of a discount as well.
But what about the actual leasing? are people still leasing cars during the recession. I would have thought it is a better option due to the monthly payments rather than having to pay out a lump sum or face the problems trying to get credit. Probably getting it but at a higher rate of interest.
Car leasing customers are more of a specialist niche market at the moment aiming more towards business owners etc. Green cars are currently what customers are looking for, though the environmental motivation for this is questionable. It is more to do with the fact that they save in fuel, which in turn will save money.
The motivation behind car choices is also an interesting issue, the blog describes the difficulty of getting a mortgage nowadays which is down to (amongst many other things) overspending.
But because most young men do care about their image they would rather take on a new flash car rather than a second hand one. Which is why I think that leasing is definitely a market to look into in the current economical climate.
