In the competitive world of car sales, staying ahead requires innovative marketing strategies. BoundlessMedia recently partnered with a car dealership in Oxford to run a targeted social media ad campaign. The results were impressive, showcasing the power of social media in driving leads and boosting sales.
Background
Our client, a reputable used car dealer in Oxford, was looking to increase their lead generation and sales conversions. They wanted to leverage social media to reach potential buyers more effectively and turn those interactions into concrete sales opportunities.
How does Auto-Lead work?
The Auto-Lead system is a combination of using social media advertising platforms, as well as complex automations in order to make the experience for the potential customers and the car dealers frictionless as possible.
Here’s a breakdown of our approach:
- Engaging Ad Creatives: Our team created visually appealing and informative ads highlighting the dealership’s latest models and finance offers (if FCA regulated). The ads included a clear call-to-action prompting users to fill out a lead form.
- Audience Targeting: We utilised Facebook’s advanced targeting tools to reach individuals in Oxford and surrounding areas who showed interest in purchasing a car. This included targeting based on demographics and interests.
- Lead Forms: We set up lead forms to capture user details. These forms were designed to be quick and easy to fill out, requesting essential information such as the user’s name, contact details, and the type of car they were interested in.
- Immediate Lead Transfer: Once a lead form was submitted, the customer’s details were instantly sent to the dealership. This enabled the sales team to promptly follow up with potential buyers, increasing the chances of a successful sale.
Results
The campaign ran for a month with an ad spend of £309.90. Here’s a summary of the outcomes:
- Total Leads Generated: 120
- Cost Per Lead: £2.58
These results significantly exceeded our client’s expectations, demonstrating the efficiency and effectiveness of our Auto-Lead system.
Client Testimonial
The dealership’s sales manager shared their satisfaction with the campaign’s performance:
“Working with Ollie and team has been a game-changer for us. The quality and volume of leads generated through their social media ads were beyond what we had hoped for. The immediate contact with potential buyers was very cool and we have had a fair few deals through from these leads already and hope it continues.”
