Behind the Wheel: Allied Solutions Reflects on Used Car Week
By: Suzi Straffon, Director, Finance Company Markets | Allied Solutions

Considering the alarming surge in auto loan delinquencies, which have reached a 13-year high at an annualized rate of 7.7% in Q4 (Hyatt), addressing this critical intersection in the auto loan industry requires a strategic shift in communication. The timely education of and engagement with borrowers is paramount to navigate the challenges posed by the convergence of expensive vehicle payments and interest rates, especially with the average monthly payments climbing to an unprecedented $738 for new car loans in Q4 according to Experian, despite an overall decline in car prices.

The mastery of audience engagement is now more crucial than ever, given the complexity of the challenges in recent years. Reflect on your current engagement channels and assess the mediums within them. If your strategy lacks integration of video content, you may risk losing your message in the digital void.

Video is what’s trending. Need proof?

Video doesn’t replace standard engagement channels; rather, it empowers you to enhance them. To address the surge in auto loan delinquencies, economic/market conditions, and loan servicing, incorporating video into your communication strategy can be a powerful tool to educate and engage your internal and external audiences effectively.
