Acting Quickly Can Help You Achieve Success
Josh was faced with the challenge of having to make quick decisions when adding a new advertising solution to his marketing spend due to the current market conditions.

However, his decision to use Premium Select proved to be an extremely positive one as it resulted in a 44% lift in connections compared to non-Premium Select ads. Not only was Premium Select able to expedite his sales pipeline, but it also allowed him to increase exposure for units that were costing the dealership money.

Josh learned from this experience and was able to be incredibly strategic and efficient with the product moving forward, allowing him to continue seeing great results.

Maximize Results by Reassigning Enhancements
One of the most advantageous aspects of this product is that it allows dealers to allocate and reassign Premium Select enhancements to the units they prefer to be highlighted at specific times. Josh took full advantage of the flexibility offered by Premium Select by assigning and reassigning Premium Select enhancements to units of his choice. He identified a 10-day time frame that yielded the best results, 69% more vehicle details page views than non-Premium Select ads. Whenever a Premium Select unit was sold and came offline, he quickly reassigned the enhancement to another unit that was popular in his market.
