Video research tools can aid undecided Honda, Toyota shoppers

Research shows an increase in cross-shopping behaviors, and online shopping for new Honda and Toyota models has exploded. More people are coming to your dealership's website before they ever set foot in the showroom, or even let you know they are interested.

Two key indicators show that car shoppers are more flexible. No. 1, there have been higher video plays of Virtual Test Drive videos like those offered by VehiclesTEST.com on our subscribing dealers websites. No. 2,  more shoppers visiting Honda and Toyota dealerships without a specific VIN in mind. 

Market forces have pushed buyers to be more open-minded, so they are focusing on what they need rather than a specific make and model.

It’s no secret that search volumes have skyrocketed because car shoppers can’t find the make and model of the vehicle they want. Because they’re willing to be adaptable, you want to get their attention with as much good content as possible, as you may have something similar on the lot. The way to do that is by investing in your website, SEO, Google My Business, social marketing, and content marketing, like adding VehiclesTEST’s Honda and Toyota videos to your website.

Think about a buyer on your Honda or Toyota dealership’s website. When they want more information, a 3rd-party video review, also provided right on your website by VehiclesTEST, can offer the consumer objective information.
