Because buying a car is such a considered process, the nature of the purchase journey is much more complex. This means automotive marketing has its own specific challenges, especially when it’s so important to deliver top-notch customer experiences.
Customer expectations are mounting, but budgets aren’t following the same trend, so it’s vital to make sure budgets are totally optimized. That means understanding which channels are delivering the right types of leads. It’s also super important to understand the journey customers have been on before picking up the phone. Only then will automotive marketers be able to understand where the focus should be from a budget and personalization perspective.
Alex and Ian talk about the different tools and techniques marketers in the automotive industry can leverage to lift the lid on these all-important insights. They also share intel on how to use that data to drive better customer engagement, more profitable results, and a healthier pipeline.
