Takeaways From Automotive Dealer Campaigns

  • Auto advertisers that display offers within their ads have more than 30% lower cost per conversions, as well as a shorter sales cycle.
  • Over 50% of auto buyers take more than 90 days to make a decision. This shouldn’t come as a surprise, as buying a car is a large financial and emotional decision, especially with the vast amount of options today.
  • How can we use this? Market for the future, instead of just for right now. For example, if I know I’m going to have a surplus of F-150s to sell 5 months from now, I should start marketing them now, not the month I get the extra units. Why? Because it will take my buyer longer than 90 days to do their research and make a decision on which vehicle they want to purchase.

Programmatic In Motion

A well established Buick dealer in the Southwest region teamed up with Genius Monkey in hopes of taking advantage of our cutting-edge programmatic technology to reach their desired goals. Their goals were to increase sales, boost phone call quantity, increase form fills and expand the number of vehicle description page views they were receiving. This was to be done by programmatically diversifying channels and targeting via the Genius Monkey platform.

In 2017, prior to Genius Monkey’s intervention, the client was paying $5.81 per website user, $3.41 per website session and $124.35 per lead (form fill or call). Once Genius Monkey joined the team, the results became evident right away.

Now, after two years of consistently running with Genius Monkey, the client is paying $2.39 per website user, $1.28 per website session and $71.27 per lead. That is a 54% decrease in cost per leads! Not only did their cost per lead go down, total leads increased significantly, as well.
