Anyone in the car game can tell you that it is a tooth-and-nail world out there. With bus and billboard advertisements, car lots the size of the Sahara on just about every other block, new models rolling out constantly (while old ones sit around collecting dust), and an unsure economy making sales trends just about impossible to predict, you need to take any advantage you can get. One of the ways in which you can do so is by shifting your dealership’s focus to the digital market. Here are a few tips you can utilize in order to improve your visibility online.
Google Ads
Sure, it’s nice to have highway billboards the size of Missouri and your dealership’s logo plastered all over the local baseball team’s stadium and Jumbotron, but those are the advertising methods of the past. The meat-and-potatoes of your web presence has got to be its online advertising. No one makes this easier than Google Ads. Google Ads are targeted ads that focus specifically on people who might be interested in your product. In this case, Google Ads would target people who have recently been browsing for cars online. They are an indispensable resource that you simply must taken advantage of if you haven’t already.
Online Chat Software
There are a number of reasons why dealer chat software is so popular today, chiefly that it offers your customers – and potential customers – access to 24-hour, real-time professional service. People these days need to have access to information all the time, at any hour of the day. Dealer chat software allows them to speak to someone whenever they want. Companies like Gubagoo are staffed by professional car experts who pride themselves on their vast knowledge of cars and the current car sales market, as well as their friendliness and excellent customer service.
Professional Design
You should invest in professional website design. Sure, anyone can create a website in an afternoon these days – and it shows. Nothing turns customers off like an ugly, difficult to navigate website. It practically screams unprofessionalism. A professional designer will make your website gorgeous and inviting for potential customers. A side note: make sure to update it regularly, even if you’re just checking in. Another thing that turns customers off is seeing that the latest update was made three months ago. Ease, beauty, and consistency are the cornerstones of any great business website.
Connect With A Car Shipping Service
Partnering with a reliable car shipping service can do wonders for your business. Yes, cars are mobile, but not everyone is going to be able to come by your dealership and just drive one off the lot. With the help of technology getting a quote is quite easy nowadays. So, if you provide car shipping services, many customers will be coming in from the suburbs or neighboring towns. A good car shipping service will handle picking up and dropping off the car on both ends, and will even ship a large number of cars at once. Offering good vehicle transport services will expand the scope of your customer-base. Include this service in your online advertisements and your dealership will begin to rapidly develop a reputation for great online services.
