Working with Our Automotive Market Research Company
How do car buyers budget for their next vehicle purchase or lease? How far are customers willing to travel to a dealership for a purchase or lease? What are the top sources used by car shoppers?
Our automotive market research company aims to answer car dealership’s most challenging business questions like these and more.
Why Automotive Market Research?
Today's consumers no longer use price as the sole deciding factor for choosing which car to drive or dealership to purchase from. Safety, style, customer reviews, dealership perception, and many other factors drive a car shopper's buying behaviors.
In an increasingly competitive industry, auto dealerships that want to see success in the modern retail landscape should utilize various market research methodologies.
The insight and feedback garnered from a simple survey can provide car dealerships with comprehensive consumer data such as:
- Most recent vehicle purchases
- Budgeting behavior
- Likelihood to recommend dealers
- Drivers to satisfaction and dissatisfaction
- Dealership awareness, perception, and associations
- Sources used for shopping for a vehicle
- Factors which matter most when purchasing or leasing a car
- Distance willing to travel to purchase
Our automotive market research company will help your dealership regain market share and understand just how far their advertising dollars can be stretched.
