The AutoMester team were delighted both with the attendance and the positive feedback from members. AutoMester is very much a member driven concept, so having these conferences is essential to get the views of the members and to promote discussions that help to shape the future direction of the concept.  "We always find these quarterly meetings very constructive and the members are excellent at generating and developing new ideas.”

 

At the conference, members were presented with the latest IT developments concerning AutoMester garage software. This system is proving to be of great benefit to the member garages, helping to streamline their administration systems and boost business efficiency. Members also were updated on tools/workshop equipment and were advised about the interest free finance options available to AutoMester members only.  Members were joined by guest speaker Andras Lorincz for garage concepts from Romania.

 

As with previous conferences, one of the main focuses of discussion was on the latest AutoMester marketing campaigns and future promotional plans for the network. In particular, the new AutoMester Rewards Club launching in March 2015, which generated positive feedback from the members. Ciara Culleton from Auto Service Hub, the AutoMester garage in Limerick said, "We are very very excited about the future with AutoMester, especially the roll out of the new AutoMester Rewards Club”. In conjunction with the AutoMester team, the members fine tune seasonal promotional campaigns aimed at motorists. Professional campaign promotional tools are then prepared by the AutoMester team for the use of members, a formula that has worked very successfully on recent promotional initiatives and for many years in the AutoMester concepts in Denmark and Norway. The conference concluded with a warm get together between the AutoMester team and members.
