9 Million Reasons Why VDP Views Are The Metric That Matters

Shaun Kehrberg by Shaun Kehrberg, Product Marketing Manager, Digital Advertising
VDP Views Decrease Inventory Time On Lot
Just 12+ more VIN views could mean 44% LESS time on your lot

The verdict is in: if they view the highlights, you’ll view the taillights. In other words, the more car shoppers engage with your Vehicle Details Pages (VDPs), the quicker your cars will move off your lot--- and that’s a fact.
Based on an eight month study of 9 million VDP's, 125 million website visits, and 250 million online actions, our automotive consumer research conclusively shows that:
  • VDP views and time spent on VDP's are 2 of the top 4 online sales predictors

  • VDP’s with 20-30 pageviews spend 29% less time on the lot

  • VDP’s with more than 30 pageviews spend 44% less time on the lot


So how do you best position your automotive digital marketing strategy to be a VIN factory? We’ll address just that in an all-new Cobalt series: The Down & Dirty on Dynamic Inventory Merchandising. In this series, we’ll tell you how to harness the power of multichannel marketing to turn your dealer website into a VDP hot spot.Stay tuned for Part 1, when we look at the impact of Dynamic Inventory Merchandising in your dealership's retargeting ads.
