Dorsett Mitsubishi finalizes new company pledge
March 24, 2005

Dorsett Mitsubishi of Terre Haute recently announced implementation of its new company pledge and tagline.

Developed in collaboration with MillerWhite LLC using its proprietary protected formula, Unlocking the Power of Your Pledge®, the new Dorsett pledge is, “We pledge to focus on giving you the driving experience you want, backed by the service you can trust.” The new tagline developed from the pledge is, “Drive It Home With Dorsett.”

The five-year-old dealership’s owner, Brian Dorsett, is well known in the area as a professional athlete – a former MLB catcher and powerful hitter – whose family had an established reputation as a respected used car dealer. The strengths of the dealership lie in its staff, systems and service.
Dorsett’s previous tagline, “Catch a Dorsett Deal,” while it was based on the owner’s positive reputation in professional sports, focused on the automotive sales side of the business.

With goals of increasing automotive sales and service sales, Dorsett was looking to create a new positioning statement upon which a sound sales and marketing infrastructure could be developed.

The Unlocking the Power of Your Pledge exercise determined that the new pledge and tagline should pull together the dealership’s two revenue streams – automotive sales and service sales – into one active statement, and provide the foundation for creating a strong and positive culture for the dealership.

Dorsett’s new pledge and tagline support its business goals and provide the consistent thread to which all elements of marketing can respond – sales, service, public relations, advertising and interactive media.
