Cars & Cupcakes: Enterprise Sales Event

Staff Guide: Spring Car Sale Promotion

We are revving up for our latest collaboration with Enterprise Car Sales! This event is designed to provide our members with a seamless, high-quality vehicle buying experience paired with the trusted financing of Beach Municipal FCU. To make things even sweeter, Twisted Sisters Cupcakes will be on-site with their food truck to reward our members and staff.

We need your help to drive awareness, encourage pre-approvals, and show members how easy it is to upgrade their ride while staying financially on track. 

This car sale is part of our "A Better Direction for Your Auto Loan" Spring & Summer Vehicle Promotion. Visit the Vehicle Loan page under "Marketing" to learn more, or

Campaign Overview

This promotion focuses on the "perfect pairing" of reliable Enterprise Certified® vehicles and our competitive lending rates. By highlighting transparency and ease of use, we aim to move members from "just looking" to "ready to drive."

Campaign Target

  • In-Market Buyers: Members currently looking for a vehicle who value "no-haggle" pricing.
  • Safety-Conscious Drivers: Those who prioritize inspected, certified vehicles with a buy-back guarantee.
  • Rate-Conscious Members: Members looking to secure their financing through the Credit Union before they hit the lot.

Promotion Strategies

  • Drive Pre-Approvals: Encourage members to get their financing ready before the sale to earn a treat.
  • Highlight the "Test Drive" Incentive: Get members behind the wheel on the day of the event.
  • Staff Referrals: Your role is vital! Refer a member to Enterprise to earn a reward.
  • Simplify the Search: Remind members they can start their search online from the comfort of home.

Campaign Timeframe

The campaign and sale events will take place in May 2026.
