2. Make Your Description Robust
When listing your inventory online, it’s important to be as detailed as possible. The more information available in your listings, the more likely you are to generate high-quality connections who are looking to make a specific purchase. Ensure you are using relevant keywords that will help your listing rank higher on search engines so that consumers can easily find your listing. Another important component to effectively advertising your listing is to include any critical details that a consumer would typically ask about. Anything from, mileage, make and model to whether the unit is new or used etc. The more information you include in your listing, the better. This way, the buyer will already have most of the information they need before submitting a lead.
3. Highlight Unique Features
In addition to adding any important details about the unit in your listing, take the opportunity to share any special features that might make the listing stand out—showcase these features in both the description and listing images. Think about what may be of high interest to specific consumers. For instance, if you have a listing for a dirt bike, make sure to showcase speed or any other features that would enhance a consumer’s riding experience. Mentioning details specific to that unit, like speed and performance, can help you target powersports consumers who have specific needs for the next unit they purchase.
4. Boost Your Listings On Social Media
Today’s customers are encountering multiple digital touchpoints throughout their journey, and social media has become one of the more common touchpoints in recent years. Sharing your listings on your social media accounts allows you to capture the attention of consumers as they browse on these platforms and nurture more leads in an engaging way. You can also use the various tools that are built into these platforms to maximize your listing’s reach, such as paid ads. Most importantly, ensure you are including links to your listing and website directly in your social media posts to help drive traffic for your dealership.
