One of digital marketing’s greatest powers is its ability to predict future sales. We’ve all seen it, when your marketing metrics increase, your sales will tend to follow. Unfortunately, which specific metrics to keep an eye on is a constant debate. Many dealerships use lead forms as the key metric to forecasts future sales. However, as we have learned from the 2015 JD Power New Autoshopper Study, only 24% of new car buyers use digital methods to initially contact a dealer before a store visit. This means that it’s still quite difficult to predict when the other 76% will be coming in for a visit. So, if not leads, then what can help predict sales?
