TapClassifieds: Must-Have Tools for Dealership Success


The most successful dealerships today continue to evolve with the changes in consumer buying behavior. The manner car shoppers research and find the vehicle they are looking for has changed dramatically over the years. These changes have only become even more apparent and exacerbated with the COVID-19 consumer lifestyle changes.

Car shoppers today already do their research on their own and come into the dealership knowing exactly what they are looking for. Recent studies have shown that the typical car shopper invests 14+ hours in research and analysis before their purchase at the dealership. With dealership visits now declining to an average of less than 2 per vehicle purchase, dealerships have fewer opportunities to influence prospects with their vast inventory or salesmanship in person.

Due to the changes in auto buyer behavior, distribution and promotion of inventory (along with awareness of the dealership brand) are essential to become the dealership of choice in your sales primary markets.
