With 80% of car buyers using some form of digital technology to research their options before entering a car dealership, auto dealers face an extremely competitive market.
To top it off, they’re tasked with a new challenge: selling to the millennial buyer. According to research done on Millennials, this generation is a lucrative target predicted to spend $138 billion on light vehicles this year.
So, how do dealers tap the massive spending power of these individuals? First, they need to understand their spending habits and how they make purchases. It’s no surprise Millennials are technology dependent. They grew up using computers and cell phones and are more accustomed to having information on demand.
