Badges, our dynamic inventory merchandising solution, does two things very well:
- Provides talk tracks to sales and BDC teams to help build value and create urgency when working with consumers to find their next car.
- Showcases to consumers the features that dealers haven’t been able to effectively merchandise yet, making these consumers more engaged on the website.
In today’s post, we’ll explore this second topic more in-depth.
Marketing teams spend a lot of money to drive visitors to their websites. That money goes to TV, radio, print, paid search & social, search engine marketing, email marketing, and everything else. When people get there, you want them to stick around, and to do that, you need to provide them with valuable information.
Badges does just that, and we’ve got the data to back it up. We worked with numerous customers to evaluate their Google Analytics data, and share their anonymized results here.
