Brand Exclusivity
Limited dealer per brand per zone
Each zone features a limited number of dealers per automotive brand, ensuring strong category exclusivity. Your dealership avoids direct same-brand competition within the area, increasing visibility, recall, and trust among nearby households actively considering vehicle purchases.
Same brand allowed in different zones
Dealers may advertise the same automotive brand in multiple zones, allowing strategic market expansion. This flexibility supports regional coverage while maintaining exclusivity within each individual zone, helping dealerships grow reach without sacrificing competitive advantage.
Dealers may purchase multiple zones
Purchasing multiple zones enables broader household reach across Macomb County. Dealers can scale exposure, reinforce brand presence, and target multiple proximity-based markets while maintaining exclusive placement within each zone for stronger local impact.
If you are in the zone, you own your brand category.
