Staying ahead of the changing automotive industry with the right marketing or sales strategy

Achieving profitable growth in the automotive industry is a challenge for dealers, suppliers and OEMs in the sector. This is partly due to the complexity in the supply chain as well as modular products – customers can configure not only the vehicles but also the (digital) services. This makes it difficult to put together a sustainable and profitable marketing and sales strategy with the right software solutions and efficient implementation. When optimizing processes and systems with the aim of reducing sales costs, the soft factors, such as value-creation-oriented thinking, must not be neglected. Changes in the market are dynamic and difficult to predict. In some situations, a minor change in sales and marketing structures is sufficient. Other situations require courage and the change of the entire business model.

New challenges due to new customer needs

The pandemic in particular has changed customer needs. It is highly significant for the automotive industry to modify its sales strategy in order to attract new customer groups. For example, customers value and demand digital media more than ever before. How can we digitize sales away from car dealerships and showrooms (digital retail)? Customers want less and less to receive ready-made offers of a vehicle configuration from a company representative, but to put together a vehicle themselves – and to do so online (Digital Marketing). 90% of customers inform themselves on dealer or OEM websites before buying a vehicle and 50% even start the purchase decision process online. What innovative ways are there to present the numerous options to customers visually, haptically or auditorily? Another change in the market reflects the importance of data (Data Driven Sales). Collecting data about the complete customer journey and then interpreting it correctly makes your company a pioneer.

Digital Retail

From digital showrooms to e-commerce – we shape the retail of the future with you.

Customers are becoming increasingly demanding, especially when it comes to vehicle purchasing and service – they expect a personal, individualized approach and excellent customer care. To make this possible, a functioning and coordinated dealer management system is necessary. To this end, the requirements must be known and implemented accordingly. In addition, processes must be designed efficiently and interfaces clearly defined to ensure the flow of information. The Connected Digital Showroom describes the sales floor of the future, in which customers can experience the car in the desired configuration using interactive and innovative technology (e.g., VR glasses) and immerse themselves in a whole new world.

Digital Marketing

Online is 24/7 and everywhere! We help you meet your customers on the web – no matter when and where they are.

The vehicle configurator provides your customers with their first glimpse into the wide range of vehicle configuration options. To make this experience unique, it is necessary that your configurator visualizes each intended build option in an attractive and inspiring, but not overwhelming way. To stay ahead of the competition, it’s important for companies to recognize individual trends and take advantage of the many opportunities offered by social media marketing, digital sales, and multimedia customer engagement. With our creative and social media-savvy staff, we can help you both build and operationalize your individual social media strategy. In the digital world, the website is the main point of contact between customers and OEMs. Therefore, it is necessary for your company to make its Internet presence as attractive and customer-oriented as possible – so that every customer finds exactly what they are looking for on your website.
