Dealership Internet Marketing and Sales

Traditionally, auto dealerships have spent the vast majority of their advertising funds on mediums that were very difficult to track. TV and Radio ads, while important for branding, are almost impossible to directly equate with results. Print ads can be tracked easily enough, but their effectiveness has dropped dramatically in just the last few years.

Internet marketing and advertising, however, is easily tracked and the results can be measured immediately. Studies have shown that search engine marketing can be more than 10 times as effective as advertising by radio, not to mention it is less expensive. Our own experience has shown that even a carefully focused local TV campaign is less effective and more expensive than a comparably focused onlline search campaign.

Internet marketing and advertising also allow auto dealers to engage customers in ways never thought possible. By carefully targeting and interacting with select Web site publishers, auto dealers can gain credibility and loyalty for a fraction of the cost of a big media branding campaign.

Dealers are moving their advertising dollars online in record amounts – but simply placing the ads is not enough.
