The Shift in Car-Buying Process- Why social is King
The car-buying process is changing a lot. Now, people use online resources more to find and buy cars. This change makes social media very important for car dealerships to connect with customers.
Digital Platforms: The New Norm for Car Research and Purchasing Decisions
Gen Z finds waiting for a salesperson very frustrating, says the CDK Global study. Dealerships need to make their process smooth online and offline. Using digital tools to help customers can make their experience better.
Facebook and Instagram: An Untapped Goldmine for Reaching Serious Car Buyers
To get young people’s attention, dealerships should make fun content like polls and quizzes. This kind of content keeps people interested and builds a community around the brand. It’s also important to have the same message on all platforms, as Forbes says consistent brands are more valuable.
