Wilton Mercedes News: Mercedes partners with tennis great Roger Federer
What do tennis and Mercedes-Benz have in common? Grand Slam Champion Roger Federer! Mercedes-Benz has signed with Federer to represent its brand as it also begins a sponsorship of the U.S. Tennis Open Championship, which begins in August. Wilton Mercedes C-Class dealers believe this will be a winning partnership.
Federer has been a Mercedes-Benz “ambassador” in China since 2008 and Mercedes-Benz has been promoting its vehicles through the tennis circuit for more than 15 years, so this partnership just makes sense. The deal with Federer covers several years and the use of this image, personal appearances and product placement.
Not only with the Tennis Connection be an ace with many Mercedes customers, but the association with a major tennis figure like Federer will carry weight with a younger crowd and bring many of them to the showroom who might not otherwise have considered the Mercedes-Benz brand.
When if comes to tennis, several major brands have been associated with certain tournaments and players for years. Lacoste has been a major sponsor of the French Open for many years and Slazenger, a British sports equipment maker, has been affiliated with Wimbledon for 108 years!
Wilton Mercedes C-Class customers can count on similar long-term loyalty from their Mercedes-Benz dealer which it comes to service. The sponsorship of a major tennis tournament like the U.S. Open is a perfect fit for Mercedes-Benz, as the tennis world is big on tradition and Mercedes has built its brand on the tradition of quality, luxury vehicles and customer satisfaction.
“I am delighted that we are adding Roger Federer to the Mercedes-Benz family of sports and celebrity ambassadors on a global level. When it comes to tennis, he is without doubt one of the greatest of all time and he truly has become a global icon,” said Stephen Cannon, Vice President Marketing for Mercedes-Benz USA.
We’re delighted that Mercedes has chosen a spokesperson that is famous but not infamous. Customers of Wilton used Mercedes-Benz will appreciate the way the brand promotes and protects its image with tasteful advertising and ambassadors who conduct themselves with class.
Cannon added, “We are looking forward to working with Roger on a number of initiatives. Much like our own brand, Roger has an impressive and unrivalled history but the best is still yet to come.”
The U.S. headquarters of Mercedes-Benz is located in Montvale, New Jersey and oversees the marketing, distribution and customer service for products of Mercedes-Benz and Maybach in the U.S. The brand offers 12 luxury models in coupe, sedans and crossovers.
Wilton used Mercedes-Benz customers will also find a large selection of pre-owned Mercedes-Benz models which will meet their lifestyle needs.
