For car dealers, the holy grail isn’t a flashy sports car or a top-selling SUV. It’s a simple whisper: “I’m thinking about getting a new car.” Imagine if you could hear that murmur from every potential customer walking through your doors, online, or even driving down the street. That’s the power of knowing who’s in the market for a new car, and it’s a game-changer for dealerships. Go beyond the cookie and website tracking and leverage the power of psychographic data and predictive analytics to know who is coming into the market in the next 30, 60, 90 days with the Experian Marketing Engine’s Affinity AutoAudiences.
Boost Efficiency and ROI:
- Targeted Sales: No more shotgun blasts of marketing campaigns! Precisely target consumers considering a new car with personalized offers and incentives. Imagine tailoring financing proposals based on their budget and desired features, not guesswork.
- Inventory Optimization: Say goodbye to dusty lots filled with unsold models. Knowing market trends and individual preferences allows you to stock in-demand vehicles, maximizing sales and minimizing depreciation costs.
- Streamlined Sales Process: When a customer walks in already open to buying, the entire process becomes smoother. Focus on addressing their specific needs and preferences, leading to quicker deals and happier customers.
Build Stronger Customer Relationships:
- Proactive Engagement: Instead of waiting for leads, reach out at the perfect moment. A friendly call or email during their research phase demonstrates attentiveness and builds trust, setting you apart from the competition.
- Personalized Recommendations: Forget one-size-fits-all pitches. Recommend models based on their lifestyle, budget, and driving habits. This shows genuine interest and builds rapport, increasing the likelihood of conversion.
- Enhanced Customer Experience: Cater to their specific needs before they even step onto the lot. Offer virtual test drives, online financing options, and even home delivery – all tailored to their preferences. This level of personalized service fosters loyalty and repeat business.
