Delivering effective advertising and marketing strategies has also transformed over the past two years. Boczonadi thinks some of the changes in consumer behavior might be short-term, but other shifts in the car buying experience are here to stay.“I think where we’ll see that long-term success is with dealers who are really focusing on the lifetime value of the customer and nurturing those relationships throughout the buying and servicing cycle,” explains Boczonadi.Non-traditional players like Carvana or CarMax are all over TV. They’re taking advantage of loyalty and the changing consumer behavior while also getting their value proposition out to market. This messaging is often at the expense of the traditional car dealer, adds Boczonadi.
