Friendly Finance Corporation and OnlineBKmanager.com Team Up to Launch Joint Marketing Efforts
Friendly Finance Corporation and www.OnlineBKmanager.com announce a partnership bringing Sub-Prime Lending and Marketing together like never before.
Baltimore MD—Friendly Finance Corporation and www.OnlineBKmanager.com announce a partnership bringing Sub-Prime Lending and Marketing together like never before. The first program developed through this partnership is a NO CHARGE BK Marketing Campaign for dealers that register with Friendly Finance Corporation.
For over 14 years, www.OnlineBKmanager.com has been the leader in Bankruptcy Marketing with the first advertising tool designed specifically for the sub-prime automotive dealer. Today their flagship product is supported by the industry’s only MONEY BACK GUARANTEE.
For over 60 years, Friendly Finance Corporation has been a leader in the subprime auto finance arena, serving the marginal credit needs of both franchise and independent automobile dealers. They are currently purchasing retail installment sales contracts from dealers in Delaware, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Nebraska, Ohio, Tennessee, and Virginia.
Friendly Finance Corporation President, Steve Pittler and www.OnlineBKmanager.com President, Robert Davies unveiled the collaboration this week after discussion confirmed the obvious opportunity and benefit a program like this would provide a sub-prime dealer. “This Marketing Campaign is a partnership between two staple brands within automotive sub-prime,” said Davies. “We share a passion for creating meaningful consumer product experiences through design and innovation. With this joint marketing program, the dealer will have a lender dedicated to working with the individuals responding.”
Friendly Finance Corporation differs from most other subprime lenders in that they focus on OPEN BANKRUPTCY customers. They specialize in customers BEFORE they have been discharged from a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy. They even consider customers who have filed bankruptcy multiple times. “Our expertise and knowledge in this area is unsurpassed and proven over the past several decades in this business. We give our dealers the ability to get their customers on the road before their competitors even get the opportunity to seek financing,” said Pittler.
“This new partnership with www.OnlineBKmanager.com will allow our dealers to further target the BK segment that separates us from other lenders,” explained Pittler. “With our dealers actively pursuing these buyers, we anticipate their look-to-book and profits to exceed industry standards.”
The NO COST program is available now to qualified franchise and independent dealers. Please call Kathy Denisuk with Friendly Finance Corporation at 800-872-2877 Ext. 236 or Christine Follett with www.OnlineBKmanager.com at 888-739-1468 for details.
