Valuable insights are at the heart of carwow’s appeal to retail partners

 

There’s a different approach to car sales at carwow. By partnering with retailers and providing them with an efficient car selling platform, carwow align themselves as being an innovative digital marketing partner to the automotive industry.

The top priority for carwow is to provide great customer and dealer experiences for all. Unknown to most, price is not the most important factor for customers when buying a car through the platform, with only 25% choosing the cheapest option. A large pool of data is considered by the company including response time, location and customer reviews.

Data is turned into actionable insights for carwow’s retail partners, which helps improvements to be made in the lead handling process. It also helps retailers identify customers with the highest propensity to purchase, or reasons why customers might choose to buy from another dealership.

Plus, carwow use their marketing channels to send leads directly to dealer partners. With one of the number one car review YouTube channels globally and other social channels consistently engaging consumers, carwow are a vital sales and marketing platform for any UK franchised retailer.
