Starting point
Merci Paulo is a start-up launched in June 2024 with a clear mission: to democratize access to used car parts.
In a context of pressure on purchasing power and ecological urgency, the company offers a simple, reliable and economical alternative to new parts, by facilitating the search and ordering of parts from ELV centers (end-of-life vehicles).
With a consumer interface and advanced search technology, Merci Paulo aims to transform an opaque and under-exploited market into a driver of the automotive circular economy.
The goal
Merci Paulo fait appel à 425PPM avec un double objectif :
- Structurer son acquisition organique via un site optimisé et référencé.
- Déployer une stratégie RP à fort impact pour crédibiliser son positionnement sur le marché auto, grand public et B2B.
