It’s time for maintenance.

3 October 2023 2 min read

It's time for maintenance.

It’s time for maintenance… but not on cars today. Let’s talk about the important role communication plays in building and keeping customer relationships at your garage. Why does communication matter just as much as good service?

In a world where digital communication is the norm, it’s easy to forget how valuable and rare personal contact can be. Your customers receive dozens, if not hundreds, of digital messages a day. A handwritten card, on the other hand, is unique and grabs attention straight away. And who doesn’t love a surprise in the letterbox?

Connect on a personal level

Your garage keeps your customers’ cars running smoothly, but what about your relationships with them? Reminding a customer that their MOT (APK) is coming up isn’t just a helpful service; it’s also a chance to show you appreciate their loyalty. A handwritten card adds a personal touch your customers will really value.

Your style, your message

A physical card that’s not only a friendly reminder but also fully in line with your garage’s house style strengthens your brand and shows you go the extra mile for your customers.

Lightr is the platform that makes sending handwritten cards easier. In today’s digital world, Lightr believes in the power of a physical card with a personal message. It stirs a sense of nostalgia, creates a deeper feeling of appreciation and makes an impact.

With Lightr, dealers can connect their systems and send handwritten cards automatically. That means no more writing and posting cards manually. Instead, they simply type their text in the Lightr platform and leave the rest to Lightr.

What makes it even more impressive is the technology behind Lightr. Meet Lightr’s advanced writing robots and software. The robots make every card unique, with subtle variations in the position of letters and words. This guarantees an authentic look, as if the card were genuinely handwritten. And it is, only by the advanced Lightrbots, which write with a real pen.

What’s more, Lightr goes beyond simply writing and sending physical cards. By showing the QR code data in a dashboard on the platform, Lightr brings offline interactions back into view online. So dealers get not just the personal touch of handwritten cards, but also the valuable insights that data provides.
