OnlineDrive, an industry-leading marketing & conversion agency, announced today a partnership with AutoShopper.com. This partnership will integrate OnlineDrive’s ShowroomMagnet Behavioral Marketing System into dealer vehicle display pages on the AutoShopper.com site.
ShowroomMagnet, an incentive-based behavioral marketing program, targets online shoppers based on their behavior and delivers relevant offers which increase the conversion of online shoppers to shown appointments and test drives. Dealers on the program have seen an average 60% lead to show rate. “This partnership will give dealers the ability to utilize incentive-based marketing within their AutoShopper.com listing. The ability to incentivize online shoppers directly on AutoShopper.com will help dealers separate their vehicles from similar vehicles being sold by their competition,” said vice president of strategic partnerships, Ken Luna.
Autoshopper.com will be launching ShowroomMagnet, OnlineDrive’s incentive-based marketing program into their over 12,000 dealers with an initial offering to Florida and North East Markets. Autoshopper dealers will have a competitive advantage over other 3rd party sites, with the introduction of this incentive based showroom up program, and designed to convert web traffic into showroom traffic.
“Autoshopper.com has worked hard to maintain organic-only conversion leads throughout our 36 years, and are pleased to join forces with OnlineDrive to produce a new version of hybrid leads, we feel this product will continue to show dealers how to convert their own 1st party leads/web traffic into a steady flow of showroom ups, therefore turning shoppers into buyers, and we are very excited to be a part of this new revolution”, says Dani Sherrod, National Marketing Executive with Showcase Media.
Dealers who use AutoShopper.com will have the ability to integrate buttons and popovers directly on their vehicle display pages within the site incentivizing consumers to submit accurate information and schedule test-drive appointments. “Dealers don’t have to participate in the race to the bottom. Pricing is the first filter that many online shoppers on classified sites use. The combination of incentive-based behavioral targeting and pay for performance pricing is a win-win for both consumers and dealers,” said Online Drive president and CEO, Larry Bruce. “We’re excited to partner with AutoShopper.com and offer an additional value proposition for its dealer clients,” said Bruce.
