SHOPSMART AUTOS – CUSTOMER INFORMATION – MARCH 9, 2021
WHAT GUESTS LOOK FOR WHEN BUYING A VEHICLE The buyer’s experience is a critical component of any retail experience; by 2020, it will surpass product and price as a vital consideration of purchase. Buying anything, particularly a big-ticket item like a car is an emotional experience. Human beings are emotional creatures. In today’s world, people are finding themselves busier than ever before. In some ways, technology has made our lives more comfortable, and everyday tasks that used to take hours now happen within a fraction of the time. As technology has made parts of our lives faster and easier, we’ve responded by filling our time with more and more activities. Time is the only thing we all have in common. Time is precious. Once it’s gone, it’s gone forever. Buying a car is an emotional experience – too many, it’s equivalent to having a tooth pulled. Why is that? It takes FOREVER, for one thing. Time is like money; spend it wisely. Consumer expectations and the shopping experience have drastically changed with the dawn of digital retail. Customers aren’t comparing their exposure to other car dealers. They make comparisons to Amazon®, Best Buy,® Domino’ s®, and Uber®. But the vast majority of car dealerships haven’t yet evolved along with them. Dealerships, at least the way they are typically run, create an atmosphere where tension, worry, and frustration quickly diminishes deal enthusiasm. So, how exactly has digital retail changed the car buying experience, and what do customers look for when buying a car? Here’s what car dealerships need to know about the changing landscape of customer expectations, online car sales, and how they can evolve and thrive in this new business climate. There are very few shopping experiences, especially in the U.S., where haggling and negotiation are an integral part of the process. Most items for sale have a set, non-negotiable price that is straightforward. Haggle-free is rarely the case when someone tries to purchase a new car. Most customers realize that the sticker price isn’t the actual price, and this can frustrate customers and make them feel uncomfortable and out of their element when buying a car. It erodes critical customer trust. Digital retail presents a more transparent look at cars true price and satisfies the requirements of the logical mind. See how digital retail works. It makes the emotional part of the buying process far more pleasant and less anxiety-inducing. Dealers that promote their digital retail solution see market share increase, higher gross profit per vehicle, and better CSI. Trust is critical for fostering customer loyalty, increasing retention rates, and also improving essential word-of-mouth advertising.
