If used wisely, social media can transform “likes” into sales. Too Much Self-Promotion As with anything, balance is key to bringing subtlety to your brand and engaging customers. Over-promoting your dealership can result in low engagement and high unfollow rates.  A common place dealerships can make a mistake is on Twitter. Tweeting the same message multiple times a day clouds your followers’ feed and makes your buyers look elsewhere. Bring subtlety to your page by...

  It used to be that buyers would visit dealership after dealership searching for the best deal, but that is far from true today. Today’s average buyer visits just 1.6 dealerships while car shopping, according to the Mckinsey report, and these mobile device-toting shoppers are increasingly educated as they roam the web comparing prices, hunting for deals, finding stores and checking inventory. While the buyers of yesteryear would flip through flyers and catalogs searching for the perfect car, smartphones and mobile search are now the go-to for supershopper inspiration.

PCG and Orbee’s recently published research provides a checklist for inspecting your website traffic for bot activity. This checklist can be found on page 10 of the...

One of the more difficult tasks to accomplish is measuring the success of any given vendor. When I was on the retail side, my web provider would tout, “Look at all the sales calls that came from the website.” They would measure this by how many times people dialed the ‘sales’ phone number, but 80% of those calls were NOT fresh phone-ups or even...
