In a world where digital sales generally lead the way, it seems when buying a vehicle we follow a much more traditional process. 🚙

In a 2021 survey, it was found that only 7% of people were confident purchasing a vehicle purely online, with the overwhelming majority of consumers opting to visit the dealership many times before making a purchase. Therefore, it is so important that customer experience at your dealership is enjoyable and memorable to increase your sales in-store.
