Are you a used car dealer who is looking to increase your profits? If so, you need to market your business. After all, you won’t make a sale if no one in your community knows about your dealership lot. While it is important to have a good business location, your dealership can still be profitable with these dealership marketing and advertising suggestions.<\/p>\n
Post Ads on Craigslist:<\/b> There are two ways for you to advertise your used car dealership on Craigslist. First, post a car ad. Take one of the vehicles you have for sale and create a listing in the for sale cars section. At end of the listing, state that you have more cars available. Then, provide a link to your website, your phone number, or the location of your lot. You also have a business that provides a service, so you can advertise your business in the small business or services section of Craigslist.<\/p>\n
Reply to Wanted Car Ads:<\/b> You will also find that on Craigslist and many other classified websites some sellers say “I want a Ford Focus; preferably for $5,000 or less.” Why don’t they just go search for a used car themselves? Why when someone like you will answer their ad – this is how many deal seekers and lazy buyers think. So search Craigslist and other classified websites. Even if a seller is looking for a Ford Focus, you can provide them with information on other similar vehicles you have for sale.<\/p>\n
When replying to wanted ads online, be sure to state you are calling or emailing in response to their wanted ad. This ensures your contact isn’t mistaken for a cold calling sales pitch.<\/p>\n
Promotions:<\/b> Nothing generates interest more than getting something for free. You run a used car dealership, so why not giveaway a free car? Make a big deal out of it by hosting a barbeque, have a local radio station attend, and so forth. Even smaller ticket items, such as a TV, which anyone who tests drives a vehicle is entered to win, will generate positive attention for your used car selling business. You may be surprised how much interest events such as these generate.<\/p>\n
These are just a few of the many ways that you and your dealership lot can generate interest, customers, and profits. As a reminder, any form or marketing (no matter how small it seems at the time) is likely to have a positive impact on your bottom line. Good luck!<\/p>\n
