The Toronto Automobile Dealers Association (TADA) today announced
it has entered into a multi-year agreement with the Futura Loyalty
Group, (TSX VENTURE: FUT) enabling TADA's 340 dealer-members to
offer Aeroplan Miles to consumers on the purchase or service of
vehicles.
"We couldn't be more excited to be working with an association
of the TADA's stature, making the Aeroplan Program available to
automotive dealers across the GTA," said Mark Farrell, President
& CEO, Futura Loyalty Group. "The fit is excellent given
Aeroplan's status as Canada's premiere coalition loyalty program
and TADA's reputation as a 102 year old organization representing
the interests of over 340 dealers of all automotive makes and
models in the Toronto area. This synergy provides us with a unique
opportunity to drive value for Aeroplan Members who will be able to
earn Aeroplan Miles at participating dealerships, and for the
dealers who wish to attract Aeroplan Members to their
dealerships."
Beginning in early April 2011, participating TADA dealers will
have the option of leveraging the Aeroplan program through select
facets of their operations, including vehicle sales, automotive
service, parts and accessories sales, and collision repair. Futura
Loyalty, in its capacity as a value-added agent for Aeroplan, will
work with all participating dealers to structure optimal consumer
offers, train dealer staff on program execution "best practices"
and enable the crediting of Aeroplan Miles to consumers through the
use of the web-based Aeroplan Merchant Tool, developed by Futura
Loyalty for Aeroplan.
Aeroplan Members will 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
work of pre-tax transaction amount; and
-- Aeroplan Members will earn miles on new and used vehicles - offer
depends on purchase prices and individual dealers.
"This is an exciting opportunity for Aeroplan Members," said
Todd Bourgon, Executive Director, Toronto Automobile Dealers
Association. "TADA has a prestigious history of supporting
innovative business strategies and this new partnership will
certainly enhance the customer experience."
