'Just Brakes' Selects Demandforce

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 27, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Just Brakes, a total car care service provider specializing in brake service, has chosen Demandforce, Inc. to provide its marketing and communications solution for its 135 locations across North America.

Demandforce gives Just Brakes the tools to seamlessly market and communicate its full suite of car care services to its customers, while further helping them increase customer engagement through social media and easy-to-use web tools. Just Brakes will also benefit from Demandforce's customer satisfaction surveys, which will help Just Brakes ensure a consistent and quality experience across their large network of shops. 

Another key factor in Just Brakes selection was the best-in-class review generation and syndication platform offered by Demandforce.  Since implementing Demandforce, Just Brakes shops have already increased positive customer reviews by 95%.

Just Brakes selected Demandforce to support its marketing efforts by:

• Improving its online reputation on sites such as Google, Facebook and CitySearch through automated review collection and syndication.
• Integrating an online scheduling and review collection system to seamlessly connect with customers.
• Providing an easy way to communicate via email and text messaging with its customer base, to help ensure safe, reliable cars.

"We strive to give the highest quality products and services to our customers," said Sarah Hamp, vice president of administration at Just Brakes. "Integrating Demandforce is yet another step to expand and promote our total car care service offering, as well as provide a top tier customer experience; from the initial email or text message, to the follow-up email after the appointment, Demandforce gives us the full marketing and communication lifecycle, which is invaluable."

Just Brakes' facilities will also participate in the Demandforce Network, automatically. The first of its kind, the Demandforce Network offers Just Brakes facilities the opportunity to reach more than 40 million consumers throughout the U.S. and Canada who are customers of non-competing businesses.

"Communicating a consistent brand and message is important, yet challenging, for any business with multiple locations.  With Just Brakes, we're helping them create a uniform experience from hundreds of locations to tens of thousands of customers," said Patrick Barry, chief marketing officer at Demandforce. "Our goals in working with any business of Just Brakes' size are to help them increase customer retention and frequency of visits, build online reputation, measure customer satisfaction, and provide a consistently great experience for all of their customers.  Given the results to date, we feel very confident about our ability to deliver value through this partnership."
