Customer Story

Challenges

The luxury dealer wanted to create deeper emotional connections with high-net-worth customers beyond transactional vehicle sales. Traditional dealership interactions felt sterile and forgettable, failing to generate the word-of-mouth advocacy critical for premium brands. The organization needed experiential touchpoints that reinforced brand prestige whilst creating shareable moments that extended reach organically.

• Transactional relationships: Luxury customers expected memorable brand experiences, but interactions were limited to showroom visits and service appointments

• Low social advocacy: Despite high satisfaction scores, customers rarely shared their brand experiences on social media or with peers

• Limited emotional connection: Premium pricing required justification through exceptional experiences, not just product features

• Underutilized customer base: High-net-worth customers had discretionary income and social influence but no structured engagement beyond ownership

• Generic loyalty programs: Existing programs offered predictable rewards (service discounts, accessories) that failed to create "wow" moments

‍

Personas Involved

• Dealer Principal: Sets strategic direction for customer experience and brand positioning

• Customer Experience Manager: Designs and executes premium touchpoint programs

• Marketing & Events Lead: Manages experiential campaigns and social media strategy

• Operations Manager: Coordinates logistics, vendor partnerships, and experience delivery

‍

The Solution

The dealer partnered with Xoxoday Loyalife to create an exclusive "Drive Experiences" program featuring curated getaways and road trips within 300km of major metros. Xoxoday built both a digital experience portal and bespoke physical kits, transforming vehicle ownership into membership in an exclusive lifestyle community.

• Digital experience marketplace: Custom-branded portal integrated with Loyalife showcased weekend getaways, heritage property stays, vineyard tours, adventure drives, and culinary experiences

            -Branded leather wallet with embossed "Drive Experience" cards

             -Set of destination-specific experience vouchers (weekend stays, fine dine)

             -Curated route maps highlighting scenic drives and hidden gems

             -Premium brand merchandise (driving gloves, sunglasses, travel journal)

• Points-based booking: Customers used loyalty points to book experiences directly through the portal, with tiered access (Platinum members accessed exclusive properties)

• Concierge service: Dedicated experience coordinators handled reservations, special requests, and personalized itineraries

• GPS-tracked journeys: Optional GPS integration allowed customers to share their drives on a community map, earning points and creating aspiration

• Social amplification: Built-in photo contest mechanics encouraged sharing with branded hashtags, with monthly winners receiving additional experience credits

• Partner ecosystem: Collaborations with luxury hotels, Michelin-starred restaurants, adventure sports providers, and heritage properties across regions
