Dealership Innovations That are Defining the New Normal

Posted on Jun 5, 2020  |  Category: Dealers
Dealership Innovations That are Defining the New Normal
As the world adjusts to the new normal with face masks and sanitizers, the automotive industry is also adapting to the new dynamics and an eventual new customer journey of car purchasing. The automotive dealerships are leaving no stone unturned to convert the receding footfall of the dealerships into online traffic and deliver a similar car buying experience in the safety and comfort of the customer’s living room. Here are some of the most innovative measures to emerge in the dealership ecosystem that are bound to ensure business continuity and an eventual growth for that matter.  

Bringing the dealership experience closer to home

As customer queries go online, the mode of interaction between a dealership and the potential customer is also experiencing a rapid change. Hence dealerships are striving hard to bring the dealership ‘experience’ close to their homes by offering services like at-home test drives, digital showroom, online configurator, VR test drive, videoconference, digital walkarounds and many more.   

Online car buying and at-home delivery

Taking the entire automotive retailing ecosystem online amidst the ongoing pandemic is one of the most profounds changes that the automotive industry has experienced in recent times. The framework is now being developed to digitize all the steps of the purchase journey right from queries to delivery.  As per Google survey, “Global Auto Pulse” conducted between March and April 2020, in the period of the next 12 months “18% of auto shoppers would buy a vehicle sooner if they could purchase the vehicle they wanted without going to a dealership.”  This includes that the customer does not need to step out of the home as the entire car-buying journey is covered online with the car being delivered at the customer doorstep.  

Digital events

With most of the major automotive gatherings called off due to restaining guidelines, the major stakeholders of the automobile industry are now headed to digital events. From the action-packed pavilions to live streams, things have changed a lot.  For instance, Hyundai unveiled its Elantra sedan for the 2021 model year in early March through a live stream. This was one of the first initiatives from a major automotive stakeholder that pointed towards the new way of automotive retailing, at least for some time in the future. The Korean automaker leveraged video content and the teaser garnered around 800,000 combined views creating the much-needed hype about its upcoming product.
