Remember back in the day, when you thought you didn’t need a website to be successful? Nowadays, marketing without video is like trying to do business without a website. #don’ttryit.
Typically, consumers start their research process by looking at walk-around videos on YouTube. Then, with purchase momentum building, they move on to videos of specific cars on dealer sites. They intend to feel comfortable with the car and the dealership before they take the time to visit in person and seal the deal.
After engaging with real video content, visiting a website that offers only photos or slide shows is like hitting a (very boring) wall. Interest fades, doubt about your store creeps in, and the customer quickly looks elsewhere.
It doesn’t have to end like this! You can welcome that customer with video that makes them feel like they are at your store in person, checking out the car that grabbed their interest.
