Between the increase in auto customers using the internet as their primary source for research and the growth of industry disruptors, it can be difficult to keep up with the constant changes. One thing is for certain — dealerships can no longer afford to ignore the digital front when developing their marketing strategies. This is where MAXDigital comes in.
Our suite of dealership marketing tools can help you easily adapt your merchandising strategy to draw in digital-age customers.
How MAXDigital’s Dealership Marketing Tools Help You Stand Out in the Digital Age
Find Your Customers Where They’re Looking
Auto shoppers often spend as many as 16.75 hours researching their purchases on third-party websites like Cars.com and Auto Trader. MAX Ad, a part of MAXDigital’s platform, puts your vehicles in front of these potential customers by creating and distributing attractive ads to hundreds of third-party websites. These ads are designed to be eye-catching, answer any questions browsers may have about the vehicle, and bring customers to your webpage.
Give Customers the Information They Want
Modern auto consumers crave information, and they have little patience for dealerships who don’t make that information easy to access. MAX for Website optimizes your vehicle display pages (VDPs) to put this information in the spotlight in an intuitive format.
Make Your Vehicles Stand Out
There are plenty of dealerships near your potential customers selling the same exact make and model you are. Why should they buy yours?
Our research shows that most people don’t want the cheapest car, but the one that offers the best value. This means they’re willing to pay more for a vehicle if they fully understand the value of it. MAX-optimized VDPs highlight any special equipment packages or features that set your cars apart from the crowd.
Turn Your Sales Staff Into Experts
It is impossible for every member of your sales team to memorize full details for every vehicle on your lot. However, your customers will expect the salespeople to be able to respond to any question or concern they have. MAX Digital Showroom puts details about every car in your inventory in the palm of their hand, turning them into product experts. All they need to do is access the vehicle information through the easy-to-use smart device app.
Build Trust at All Levels
It’s no secret that most consumers don’t trust auto salespeople. The tools provided by MAXDigital help you reverse this bias and build greater trust with your customers.
By providing transparent, accurate information that demonstrates value, you start building this relationship before your customers even step in your dealership. You’ll also earn confidence on your showroom floor when your sales team can easily answer any question you have about your inventory.
Justify Your Prices to Protect Your Profit Margin
In this incredibly competitive market, most dealerships already price their vehicles very close to or below market value just to attract customers. They often need to drop the price even further to make the sale. MAX helps you stop the drop and preserve your profit margin by giving you the support you need to stand firm on your pricing.
MAX’s dealership marketing tools include price justification that clearly demonstrates the vehicle’s value. This feature compares your asking price with the average market price, and details the value added by each additional package.
