This Fourth of July marks a turning point for the car industry. COVID-19 has irrevocably accelerated the shift in car-buyers preference for online research and shopping. It was already true that the vast majority of touchpoints happen online before consumers ever make it to the showroom. The difference now? Basic paid search and social campaigns won’t be enough to convince buyers to go to your dealership instead of the closest competitor.
That’s right, it’s not just consumers who have changed. Dealers are also embracing new digital advertising tactics, raising the bar across the entire industry. To succeed in the post-COVID normal, there are the four digital advertising tactics you need to start using. In this webinar, Jason MacDonald (VP Optimization and R&D, Acquisio) and Jim Flint (CEO, Local Search Group) explain why they’re great opportunities and how to get started.
