It’s no secret that generating leads for your dealership is hard work. If your Dealership doesn’t have a strategic marketing plan in place, you could risk losing leads to the competition.
Here are a few ways UAE Car Dealerships Can Generate More Leads in 2022.
1. Dealer Website & SEO
95% of Emirati Car Buyers find their next motor dealership online. To generate high quality leads for your Dealership in 2022, you need to have a designated Dealer Website. Having your own dealer website gives potential customers a central online destination to learn about your dealership, what cars you are selling, the prices you are selling them for and where you are located.
We get it, some dealerships may be reluctant to invest in a website due to price or experience. However, there are many free easy-to-use template websites available online. Since 80% of the buying decision occurs before a dealership visit, your dealer website must be powerful enough to convince the buyer to purchase from you.
