Are You Dating Your Internet Leads?

In the automotive industry, 86% of consumers prefer to complete at least part of their vehicle purchasing process online.

Putting a name to a “view” can be challenging, especially in our data-driven world. But what if you started to personify your data and considered your customer’s touch points on a deeper level? Join us for an immersive storytelling workshop where dealers will meet “Maggie,” a car buyer, and walk through her car-buying journey. You’ll gain insights into every digital touchpoint Maggie encountered—from her first introduction to a dealership’s brand online after filling an Amazon shopping cart, all the way to purchasing her new vehicle. By the end of the workshop, you’ll have a clear understanding of how to develop a Media Mix for your dealership using a Lifecycle Marketing approach. Plus, you’ll receive a copy of our newly released White Paper detailing Maggie’s journey.
