Trying to create a connection with car shoppers who are visiting up to three dealership websites and receive hundreds of emails each day can be difficult. As a new or used car auto dealer, how do you stand out from others when following up with a potential buyer? Standard email follow-ups or email marketing isn’t going to cut it.

Video email is a useful method to personalize your dealership’s message and gain the attention of your reader. This type of marketing can be utilized in several aspects of daily dealership communications, including:

• Send your list of potential customers a video email. According to Experian Marketing Services, emails with embedded videos generate 55 percent higher revenue per email and 50 percent more clicks compared to emails with no embedded video.
• Need to touch base with customers or prospects? Record a personal video email. For example, try sending a video email confirmation for service or sales appointments. This could easily increase appointment show rates and builds trust with customers before they step foot into a dealership.
• Need to reply to a customer inquiry? Share a video email and catch them by surprise. With LiveLot VidMail, dealers can create a video email within minutes of a lead arriving in an email inbox. Prospects receive emails with several videos embedded in an attractive template. Imagine the reaction when a salesperson greets them by name and includes a video walkaround or test drive of the vehicle of interest.
• Are email open and click-throughs rates failing? Give video email a try. According to a 2013 Invodo study, video in email can boost open rates 20 percent and increases click-through rates two to three times.
