PROBLEM
The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic caused a decline in Toyota's sales, so the company advertised its monthly instalment payment plans to entice people to test-drive its new vehicles.
challenges & objectives
UMW Toyota collaborated with Facebook Marketing Partner Dezino to promote their monthly instalment plan, which enables clients to purchase a vehicle by making a payment each month. The team created a number of mobile-specific materials to entice users to schedule test drives and buy the Toyota model of their choosing.
The creative production was overseen by the team at Dezino. The team created images and movies in a range of aspect ratios appropriate for internet platforms, modified from Toyota's existing library of creative. The animated, 15-second animations served as a better way to explain the EZ Beli instalment plan and the variety of Toyota vehicles that clients could test drive.
The campaign targeted car-interested Malaysians between the ages of 18 and 55 with photo and video advertisements, including in-stream ads, on Facebook, Instagram, and Audience Network. UMW Toyota conducted Facebook brand lift and conversion lift tests to measure brand affinity and additional test-drive registrations in order to evaluate the effectiveness of its marketing campaign.

The Japanese automaker increased unaided ad recall by 8.8 points after collaborating with Dezino Marketing Media Agency on mobile-optimised creatives to promote its car financing plan in Malaysia.
