The Secret to Winning Back Customers? Give Them Real Value

Let’s be honest: there’s no shortage of marketing companies who will claim “success.” They’ll tell you your campaign worked... because they mailed it. But here’s the truth: mailing a campaign doesn’t equal measurable ROI and neither does a customer on that mailing list showing up.


At Hive Media, we don’t play that game. We offer pure reporting that tracks exactly who came in, what they redeemed, and how much you earned from that customer. That’s the power of our VIP Checkbooks.


No More Guesswork. No More “Maybe.”


With traditional direct mail, it’s impossible to prove impact without guesswork. Many providers credit redemptions from anyone who was on the list—even if the customer came in for unrelated reasons.


Hive Media does it differently:

  • Each VIP Checkbook comes with data-encoded barcodes
  • Coupons are scanned in your service drive
  • Redemptions are CP-only—no warranty tickets counted
  • All data is tied to real revenue, by customer


Our Reporting Is So Precise, It’s Scary (in a good way)

Want to know how many redemptions came from zip code 33511?
How many customers used more than one coupon?
What your average ticket was from campaign users?
We’ve got it—and it’s not fluff.


Our Hive Mind AI even analyzes campaign performance to optimize your next drop for better targeting and even stronger results.


If You Can’t Track It, Don’t Trust It

Your dealership deserves more than vague claims and inflated stats. With VIP Checkbooks from Hive Media, you’ll see the truth—who came in and how much money you made.


That’s not marketing hype.
That’s marketing accountability.


Get Results. No Hype.
