The Futura Loyalty Group Inc. (TSX VENTURE: FUT) (the "Company")
today announced that since completing its partnership with The
Toronto Automobile Dealers Association (TADA), the Company has
executed 23 agreements with member dealers. The first group of
dealers has now launched and is actively promoting and issuing
Aeroplan Miles to customers. Working closely with the Company,
individual dealers have the flexibility to customize their program
to suit their business needs and seasonality.
"We are very excited about being able to leverage the Aeroplan
program at our dealership," said Cynthia Cochrane, Controller Town
+ Country BMW / Mini Markham. "We see this as a great marketing
tool that will help us attract new customers while at the same time
retain and grow our business with existing customers. The
flexibility and ease of focusing the program on specific areas of
our business at particular times is very appealing."
Using Futura's robust, web based issuance and reporting module,
dealers are able to launch the Aeroplan program soon after signing
a contract. Futura has also developed a selection of point of sale
marketing kits as well as a hands on staff training program making
the entire process of launching Aeroplan simple and easy.
"The response we are seeing from our membership to this program
is fantastic," said Todd Bourgon, Executive Director of TADA.
"Working with Futura we've been able to come up with a program that
meets the needs of today's dealers and is easy to deploy and
manage. The great sign up rate that we are seeing further validates
the hard work that we've put into developing this program."
Aeroplan Members may earn:
-- A minimum of 1 Aeroplan Mile per $2 spent on all service, parts and
labour of pre-tax transaction amount;
-- A minimum of 1 Aeroplan Mile per $2 spent on all tires and wheels of
pre-tax transaction amount;
-- A minimum of 1 Aeroplan Mile per $2 spent on collision and auto body
