This year, Mobile Automation Platform and UPTRACS Match join this suite of highly effective, innovative products, enabling automotive dealers to seamlessly and effectively launch microtargeted marketing campaigns and directly link campaign impressions to sales respectively.
• Marketing Automation Platform (MAP) enables automotive dealers to develop microtargeted marketing campaigns. The cutting-edge product revolutionizes marketing communications, enabling dealers to design and execute fully customized campaigns that align with every stage of the customer lifecycle. By anticipating customers’ needs, making strategic recommendations, and offering total customization, MAP significantly increases engagement and drives sales.
• UPTRACS Match gives clients the ability to match impressions from their display, mobile and video campaigns to vehicle sales. Instead of simply measuring impressions and clicks, the product can deliver data on how effective a campaign is at reaching consumers who are in the market for a new car. UPTRACS Match also gives automotive dealers a way to increase targeting efficiency while measuring market share lift.
MAP, UPTRACS Match and Blueprint will be demonstrated on the NADA Convention show floor at the Search Optics booth #6005N. MAP and UPTRACS Match and Blueprint are available for customers now.
