Advertising a car dealership can be a challenge with all the competition out there. However, don’t fear: Social Indoor has you covered. In today’s blog post, we will explore creative and fun ideas that can help you advertise your car dealership and grow your sales.
1. Host an Event
One of the most effective ways to boost foot traffic and increase sales is by hosting fun events at your dealership. Some ideas could be hosting car shows, charity events or even a food truck rally. By hosting events, you draw in people who may not have planned to visit your dealership into your showroom. Make sure these events are promoted online, through social media, indoor advertising (see next points) and other signage throughout the area.
2. Use Indoor Advertising
Car dealerships tend to have a very local customer base. That’s why using indoor advertising to promote your car dealership is essential. With indoor advertising, you can display advertising messages within enclosed establishments such as cafes or restaurants. Plus, indoor advertising is strategically located in areas that ensure maximum visibility such as restrooms or vanity areas.
By meeting your audience where they are, you can create a strong connection that will translate into increased brand recognition and more car sales.
3. Boost Your Social Media Presence
Social media is a powerful tool that you can utilize to promote your dealership. Set up accounts on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn or Instagram, and regularly post pictures and videos of your vehicles and current promotions. Your choice of social media platforms will depend on your customer base and goals, so make sure to seek the guidance of a marketing pro.
Also, invest in photographing your vehicles professionally and don’t forget to utilize hashtags and challenges to create engagement with potential customers.
4. Offer Unique Test Drives
Test drives give your car dealership a unique opportunity to capture the interest of customers. Create an experience they will remember by offering a test drive along scenic routes or hosting events at another location specific to experiencing a car. Depending on your location, a good idea could be partnering to host an event with a particular location like a beach or mountain where customers can have a unique driving experience.
5. Video Ads
Did you know that YouTube is the world’s second-largest search engine only behind Google? That’s a huge potential audience! That’s why it is important for your dealership to take this opportunity by using YouTube ads. Fun and creative dealership commercials grab your customers’ attention and persuade them to Make sure to feature current promotions, test drive experiences, as well as anything else that sets your dealership apart from others.
