We are continuing to analyze the trends on the gotrader.ca marketplace with our Director of Marketing Intelligence, Baris Akyurek. Here are our finding’s from the week of April 6th, 2020.
“Last week, the amount of visits and unique visitors to the marketplace remained stable in comparison to the prior week. What’s most interesting to note is that consumers are becoming even more engaged with dealer inventory, evidenced by growth in VDP views of 5% week-over-week. Leads have also increased by 5% against last week, driving more opportunities for dealers to connect with potential customers.”
Our advice to dealers remains to ensure you are handling each lead closely and providing your customers with information about any remote services you are offering. Consumers are more likely to move further through the purchase process if you share the options you have available today to transact safely. Learn about the tools in the Remote Selling Suite, to effectively connect with shoppers remotely.

Week by week we continue to analyze the trends on the gotrader.ca marketplace with our Director of Marketing Intelligence, Baris Akyurek.
“In the past week, interestingly, we saw about a 6% increase in visits while unique visitors maintained consistent with the previous week. VDP’s increased by approximately 12%. A very slight decrease in leads indicate that some shoppers are spending longer doing their research and browsing through their options before inquiring about a specific vehicle. Since the start of the pandemic, inventory volume on the marketplace has not changed meaningfully. Overall the marketplace audience has stabilized at around 12% lower than the same period last year.”
Our advice to dealers, maintain your exposure online in order to capture the attention of researchers, and engage them effectively using the Remote Selling Suite. Staying connected with consumers will be incredibly beneficial for when the time comes for them to finalize their purchase.

If the saying ‘necessity is the mother of invention’ is anything to go by, current challenging times definitely call for some innovative steps and out-of-the-box digital marketing strategies. If you’re a car dealer looking for answers on how best to leverage digital platforms during these challenging times that no industry has never seen before, read on some of the best practices that Ray Gill – Senior Sales Manager, TRFFK – outlines in this tête-à-tête with Sparsh Sharma.

SS: Given that people are working from home and likely still browsing inventory or researching for their next vehicle purchase, what is the topmost digital strategy dealers can focus on during these times of uncertainty?

RG: Firstly, no matter how tempted a dealer may be to cut down on their marketing spend, it’s not an approach we recommend as it’s important to maintain some exposure for your inventory. The gotrader.ca marketplace, for example, is still seeing millions of users browsing and researching cars, which shows that the demand is out there, via the marketplace as it’s the most cost efficient source of getting VDP views, and other tactics such as paid search driving highly-engaged traffic to the dealer’s website.

Secondly, dealers need to focus on strong remarketing campaigns. According to research shared at Google’s Think Auto, a typical car buyer’s journey lasts over 60 days, and consumers may end up spending even more time researching online that they are staying indoors. We also expect browsing times on social media, especially Facebook and Instagram to go up.

It is, therefore, important to have a strong retargeting strategy in place to keep your inventory top of their minds. Retargeting ads can be focused on dealer or OEM offers, and TRFFK is able to remarket to users who have viewed your inventory on the gotrader.ca marketplace – a powerful combination.

SS: Those are some pertinent points. Can’t dealers also utilize their CRMs – the gold piles of precious data – towards these remarketing efforts?

RG: Yes, dealers must absolutely utilize their CRM to target in-market shoppers. The CRM data can easily be used to build audiences to target in our digital marketing campaigns. For example, both Google and Facebook have this functionality where we can upload a dealer’s audience list, and the platforms will match them to Google or Facebook accounts, and these people can be targeted with the right campaigns.

A great way to use these platforms’ customer match functionality is by building a list of past customers whose leases or financing are about to come to maturity. This is a definite moment when someone is likely to come back in-market to get a new vehicle, and these are the type of shoppers who are more likely to make a purchase during the Covid19 situation.

In order to target these users, you can use videos or banners that are highlighting any promotions or offers you have available at the dealership.

SS: Given the need to leverage digital platforms now more than ever before, what are some important steps in a buyer’s journey that dealers can move online with minimum effort?

RG: Dealers can use digital platforms to announce special promos or COVID-19 specific changes they have made at the dealership through ad copies and tastefully done videos or banners. For e.g. if they are offering test drives from home and have video chats available or have eCommerce enabled on their websites, rewriting ad copies to focus on to these elements is critical.
These can be unique points of differentiation that would make a shopper want to come to your dealership versus a dealership that hasn’t changed their sales process for COVID-19.

This should also be factored into their responses to leads. Instead of the focus on asking people to book a test drive and walk into the dealership, asking them to do a video chat or book a test drive from home or conveying how the dealership is taking precautions will work way more effectively than competitors who are still responding with “when can you come in for a test drive?” kind of responses.

SS: You mentioned an interesting topic for a lot of dealers lately: Videos. Can you elaborate on how they can best use this medium most effectively?

RG: Video is a great way to get your messaging out and show how your dealership is taking COVID-19 seriously and changing your sales process. Dealers need to start using videos to get such timely messaging out.

Video campaigns can be run on YouTube and Facebook, and with our audience targeting, can be focused only on users who have shown some interest in your inventory. One of the great benefits of video is a lot of the ad types are based on a cost-per-view model, so you actually don’t have to pay unless the user is fully engaged and watches the whole ad.

Anyone who skips isn’t actually charged to the campaign. This helps maximize your investment since you’re only paying for users who are interested in your messaging.

SS: Social and video are indeed fantastic channels to drive awareness in minds of your potential car buyers. What do you recommend a dealer to do with their strategy for search ads?

RG: Search continues to remain a priority in these times. However, the focus should be on inventory terms. Search is all about intent, and nothing is showing more intent for a new or used vehicle than someone using the model-specific search terms like “used Honda Civic for sale” for example.

Investing in inventory terms for your paid search strategy will help drive these high intent shoppers to your website where you can control the conversion process (unlike when they were to click on an OEM ad) and only show them your inventory.

If you’re deciding what type of campaigns to focus your paid search budget on during the COVID-19 crisis, our advice is to maximize your inventory search. We recommend cutting budget from your brand campaigns, as it is less likely competitors will be bidding on your terms, since they’ll be looking to reduce budget, and you’ll already have strong organic presence to bring that traffic to your website for free.

SS: Are there effective ways for dealers to help out car owners looking to sell in the immediate future?

RG: Absolutely, dealers can run ‘guaranteed trade’ campaigns to help people who are unfortunately in a situation where they need to have more liquidity, and are looking to get rid of their vehicle. If a dealer is using a guaranteed trade product like gotrader.ca’s Instant Cash Offer (ICO), you have the ability to provide customers with a guaranteed trade value that they can receive a cheque for, without actually purchasing a vehicle. This is a great way to provide a service to consumers who are in a tough spot and can also help you acquire high quality used inventory that you can turn when the market does pick back up.

The great thing with ICO is, if you don’t want to keep the inventory, you can just wholesale it without incurring any costs. This gives you a great opportunity to provide value to challenged consumers and start showing them the great service your dealership provides. This is what will help your dealership get more sales when the market recovers.

Another opportunity is digital retailing; being able to complete a transaction completely online. It’s something which has been making inroads into our industry in recent years and I expect the current situation to really accelerate this further. TRADER has invested in Motoinsight, a company that offers this service.

SS: Any other tips in the context of marketing communications between dealers and their clients?

RG: It is essential to not appear opportunistic during the COVID-19 crisis. This is an unprecedented situation for pretty much all of us, and there is a lot of uncertainty for how the next few months will turn out.

With that said, please ensure your campaigns reflect how potential car buyers can book virtual appointments as the in-store sales activities take a pause. Also ensure you aren’t running any sort of private sale events or offering customers free air trips.

Dealerships have an essential part to play, and you still have staff you need to pay and support, so it is 100% acceptable to still run campaigns, just work with your vendors to ensure they are tasteful.

“On doit se sentir encouragée, se faire confirmer nos progrès et être incitée à continuer.”
— Denise Chudy, Contact at Once!

Une seule grande scène, une seule grande pièce, une seule journée. Des femmes de tous les horizons de l’industrie automobile qui pour cette journée oublient le titre du poste qu’elles occupent et ignorent la possible concurrence entre leurs entreprises. L’atmosphère émanant des participantes était clairement chargée d’énergie positive et d’encouragement. La journée “Women and Automotive” visait à rassembler des femmes oeuvrant dans l’industrie automobile, afin de leur offrir des occasions d’échange et d’établissement de nouvelles relations.

L’horaire de la journée fut ponctué de présentations et de groupes de discussion animés par des leaders féminins de l’industrie. Elles ont gracieusement partagé leurs expériences, offert des suggestions de carrière et proposé des conseils pour se démarquer dans une industrie en constante évolution. Les principales conclusions de la journée se subdivisent sous 3 grands thèmes.

1. Solidarité entre femmes
L’une des meilleures bases sur lesquelles les femmes peuvent s’appuyer est le soutien qu’elles s’apportent l’une à l’autre. En effet, le manque d’entraide en décourage certaines à explorer au-delà des frontières établies et à ignorer les stéréotypes. Rien ne vaut l’expérience et l’encouragement d’une personne vivant une expérience semblable à la sienne pour se stimuler à poursuivre sur la voie qu’on a choisie.

L’une des conclusions se dégageant de la plupart des présentations est que l’encouragement et le soutien aux jeunes femmes de l’industrie leur procurent les meilleures chances de persévérer et de percer dans une industrie traditionnellement masculine, comme celle de l’automobile. Que devriez-vous faire? N’hésitez pas à recommander d’autres femmes lorsqu’un poste s’ouvre ou une occasion de promotion se présente et rappelez aux jeunes femmes que les postes de direction leur sont aussi accessibles qu’à tous.

2. Soyez un mentor; trouvez-vous un mentor
Mais quelle forme peut concrètement prendre la solidarité entre femmes? N’hésitez pas à devenir mentor ou trouvez-vous un mentor! Ce fut un autre des principaux sujets au cours de toute cette journée, puisqu’il rejoint l’une des principales valeurs mises de l’avant lors de cette journée: le leadership. Le mentorat permet d’abord de tisser des liens solides et durables. C’est aussi un processus au cours duquel l’honnêteté, l’humilité et la sincérité sont essentielles. Il est normal de s’y sentir vulnérable, mais ce sentiment permet aussi d’obtenir les meilleurs résultats.

Les bons mentors savent préparer de bonnes rencontres qui portent sur des sujets bien précis, sans distractions périphériques. Ce doit aussi être un moment au cours duquel le titre du poste et le rang dans l’organigramme n’ont plus d’importance. Il faut faire preuve d’empathie, se mettre dans les souliers de l’élève et offrir ses expériences et ses connaissances. “Il est préférable d’offrir de l’encouragement constructif”, résume Jill Hadfield de la Société TRADER, modératrice du panel sur le mentorat.

Et quels sont les trucs pour choisir le meilleur mentor? Évaluez d’abord vos propres forces et faiblesses, les points que vous souhaitez améliorer et vos objectifs de carrière. “En fonction de vos propres constats et objectifs du moment, le meilleur mentor variera d’une étape à l’autre de votre carrière”, a décrit Zahira Khan, de GM Financial Canada. Appliquez les suggestions qui vous sont faites. Il peut s’agir d’apporter des changements à vos agissements ou à votre façon d’aborder mentalement les situations.

3. Les progrès sont étonnants, mais il reste un grand bout de chemin à parcourir

“Le progrès est loin d’être satisfaisant. Bien qu’il y ait des changements, ils se produisent trop lentement.”
—Allison Woodley, Honda of Canada Manufacturing

La proportion de femmes dans l’industrie a certes progressé, mais c’est loin d’être suffisant. “Les meilleures occasions se présentent à celles qui n’ont pas peur de vivre de l’inconfort”, nous a expliqué Klaris Kovacs, de la Société TRADER. C’est sont des événements et des forums comme celui-ci qui constituent les meilleures occasions d’encourager les femmes à sortir de leur zone de confort et à devenir l’une des vagues du changement. Devenir une pionnière dans son commerce ou son industrie comporte son lot d’inquiétudes, puisqu’on se sait jugée ou même regardée de haut. Nous devons encourager nos jeunes collègues à surmonter ce sentiment d’inconfort, puisque c’est une démarche essentielle pour trouver et s’établir de nouveaux objectifs professionnels.

“Les épaules des jeunes femmes de la Génération Y (les Milléniaux) sont celles sur lesquelles reposent les espoirs du changement”, nous a encore décrit Mme Woodley, lors du panel sur les pratiques modernes de leadership. “Il faut savoir adapter ses perceptions lorsqu’on s’adresse aux milléniaux. Il faut savoir comment les aborder efficacement pour obtenir les meilleurs résultats. Car ils sont avant tout en ligne, dans les médias sociaux et dans les salles de classe”.

La Société TRADER fut honorée de pouvoir s’associer à cet événement visant à stimuler le changement et à rassembler les femmes oeuvrant dans l’industrie automobile. Au plaisir d’y rencontrer encore plus de nouveaux visages au cours de la prochaine édition, l’an prochain!

Representing Canada in North American competition, TRADER employees collected over 430 lbs of non-perishable food items and built a replica of an iconic team logo – made out of cans!

TORONTO, ON – September 1, 2016 – TRADER Corporation employees at the Head Office location took part in a charitable initiative this summer to support those in need in the local community. The company simultaneously contributed to two commendable causes – the 2016 Drive Away Hunger Food Drive in support of Second Harvest and the 6th annual Auto-Industry CANstruction Event.

Drive Away Hunger

With an energetic commitment to corporate social responsibility, TRADER employees added some items to their grocery lists, and made a significant contribution to aid poverty-stricken families in the local community. Over the course of two weeks, the team collected a wide variety of non-perishable food items that are needed most – canned meats, soups, and vegetables, dry pasta, whole grain cereals, baby formula, and other essentials. In total, over 430 lbs of vital products were loaded onto the truck and delivered to Second Harvest, the largest food rescue program in Canada, to be distributed to over 220 social services agencies that rely on their support.

CANstruction Event

In conjunction with the local food drive, TRADER employees were invited to partake in this year’s CANstruction Event, organized by one of the company’s preferred partners in the US. Over 20 teams across North America participated in the competition, building immense structures made out of cans of foods and raising awareness about the growing problem of world hunger. Representing Canada in this predominantly US-driven event, TRADER employees built a replica of an iconic Canadian team logo. The team took 2nd place in Canada for their Raptors logo sculpture.
