So we’ve taken the liberty of putting together a series of car sales email templates for every occasion. Trust us, bookmark this. Next time you have a car sales email to send and writer’s block hits (or you’re just pressed for time), these templates are all yours to use.

Car Sales Email Templates: Service Reminder Email
A service reminder should be a friendly and subdued check-in, not an opportunity to swing for the fences on up-sells. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t advocate for your dealership’s parts and service department. Feel free to discuss coupons or other offers that you can give them to make their experience better. Without further ado, car sales email templates about service reminders:

Car Sales Email Templates: Trade-In Email
Trade-Ins can be extremely difficult to get, and one solid way that dealers often overlook is via emails. Say your system notifies you that a customer has had a car now for about 4 years. Maybe it’s time for an email about the potential for a trade-in. Send one out with an easy car sales email template for trade-in emails.
Car Sales Email Template: Trade In
Hello [Name],
I’m [Your Name], [Job Title] at [Dealership] and I wanted to say congratulations on your [vehicle model]’s upcoming 5th birthday!
Now, I’m sure you and your [vehicle model] had some awesome times together, but I also know that needs change over the years.
That’s why I’m reaching out to ask if you’ve ever considered a trade-in. It’s a great way to get a new vehicle to suit your needs without the trouble of multiple transactions at different businesses.
Right now, we are offering [Custom Dealership Trade In Offer], so it’s a great time to change the car you’re driving. Let me know if you have any questions or if there is anything I can do for you.

Car Sales Email Templates: Click Follow Up Email
This car sales email template is for an underappreciated type of email: the click follow-up. A follow-up email can be sent when someone clicks an email link about an event, offer, or incentive. Following up on a click can be difficult to not make awkward. It’s like trying to flirt after catching a cute person’s eye at a bar – it might mean that they’re really interested in you, but it also might mean they were trying to avoid looking at someone they don’t like on the other side of the room and accidentally made eye contact with you. The best strategy is to be friendly and subtle, not creepy or invasive.
Car Sales Email Template: Click Follow Up
