WALTHAM, MA--February 2, 2012: IMN, the digital marketing company that delivers branded eNewsletters and content for vertical markets, today announced that it has been selected by GM as a turnkey program provider for its in-market retail (iMR) program. Inclusion in the co-op matching funds program enables GM dealers to be reimbursed for their investment in IMN Loyalty Driver, the most widely-used eCommunication service for automotive dealerships. Loyalty Driver eliminates the burden on dealers to complete the creative, pre-approval and invoice processing typical of services outside the program.

“IMN is a proven leader in the digital marketing space, delivering customizable eNewsletters that engage recipients through relevant content, and in addition build loyal relationships by encouraging regular dealer interaction through coupon redemption, scheduling test drives and more”

Last year, IMN Loyalty Driver supported the publishing of more than 600 million eNewsletters for more than 1,700 U.S. dealerships. It enables auto dealers to better engage and understand prospects and customers by providing high quality, relevant content specifically designed to engage automotive shoppers and encourage them to visit the dealership. Loyalty Driver is a SaaS-based tool that allows dealers to produce customized eNewsletters with professionally written articles from IMN and dealer-specific offers, and is supported by experienced Dealership Customer Service Account Managers.

"IMN is a proven leader in the digital marketing space, delivering customizable eNewsletters that engage recipients through relevant content, and in addition build loyal relationships by encouraging regular dealer interaction through coupon redemption, scheduling test drives and more," said Ben Levitan, CEO, IMN. "Being an approved turnkey supplier in GM's iMR program requires commitment to providing dealers with superior customer service and adherence to brand standards. We look forward to helping GM continue to convert shoppers into buyers, and buyers into lifelong customers."

In addition to eNewsletters, IMN provides dealerships with services for social networking, consumer behavior tracking and target marketing.
