Toyota dealership marketing — FAQ

Do you handle Toyota Co-Op advertising?

We handle the planning, creative, and compliance side end to end: qualifying campaigns, building creative to Toyota's Co-Op requirements and brand guidelines, reviewing every mailer before production, and providing the complete supporting documentation for your records. You submit the reimbursement claim with our documentation — we don't file it on your behalf, but we make sure everything you need is ready.

What results do Toyota dealers see with Xcel?

Xcel has run 1,600+ campaigns for 250+ Toyota dealerships — 12.7 million pieces of Toyota mail — with every campaign matched back to real DMS outcomes: sold units and repair orders, not estimates. One recent Toyota campaign matched 124 vehicles and 824 repair orders; SMS to Toyota owner bases returns 40–55% reply rates. Your numbers depend on your market, offer, and inventory.

Can you target Toyota owners who aren't in my database — and conquest buyers from other brands?

Yes. Beyond your own DMS and CRM records, our audience engine builds permission-based conquest audiences from bureau and market data — Toyota owners in your market who have never bought or serviced with you, and in-market shoppers currently driving competitive makes. The same audiences power mail, email, and digital, and every campaign reports back through UpDash.

Which campaigns work best for a Toyota store?

Database and equity mail to your Tacoma, RAV4, and lease-end owners, conquest mail into your market, service & recall mail and email for fixed ops, SMS to your consented owner base, and Facebook lead-form campaigns — usually run together so each channel multiplies the others.

Is Xcel Media Group affiliated with Toyota?

No. Xcel is an independent marketing agency that specializes in campaigns for Toyota dealerships. We are not affiliated with or endorsed by Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc.
