Dealerships are under constant pressure to cut costs, and the marketing budget is often the first to take a hit. But too often, dealers focus on the wrong cuts—pulling back on marketplace websites or slashing ad spend—without addressing the real sources of waste.
The reality? The biggest inefficiencies in automotive marketing aren’t in ad spend—they’re in outdated processes, slow response times, and underutilized customer data.
Before canceling marketplace websites or cutting paid media, dealers should ask:
🚨 How many leads are being lost due to slow or missed responses?
🚨 How much staff time is wasted manually handling routine customer interactions?
🚨 How many marketing dollars are spent chasing “new” leads when existing customers are ignored?
🚨 How much is being lost due to incomplete or outdated CRM data?
If dealers truly want to lower operational costs, they need to focus on fixing inefficiencies, not just cutting marketing investments.
