Changing the Game: How a Family-Owned Used Car Dealership Became a Local Hero

In the world of used car sales, standing out can be a significant challenge, especially for family-owned dealerships. Our client, a locally operated used car dealership, decided it was time to shift the narrative around what a used car dealership could be. They embraced creativity and innovation by introducing a superhero mascot in their advertising efforts.

A Creative Approach to Advertising

To connect with potential buyers and reshape perceptions, the dealership launched a unique campaign using YouTube. They created engaging 30-second video ads highlighting a key selling point: everyone gets approved for credit at their dealership. This fun, superhero-themed twist not only entertained viewers but also effectively communicated their core message.

The advertising strategy was comprehensive, targeting a variety of relevant categories, including:

  • In-Market for Autos & Vehicles
  • Credit & Lending Services
  • Used Motor Vehicles
  • Car Loans
  • Auto Repair & Maintenance
  • Car Financing Calculators

Additionally, retargeting was employed to keep the dealership top-of-mind for potential customers who had previously engaged with their content.

Impressive Results

Over the course of a year, the campaign has served an impressive 730,240 impressions, saturating a 20-mile radius around the dealership. The superhero mascot resonated well with the community, effectively driving home the dealership's message and brand identity.

The results speak for themselves: the dealership has seen a notable increase in the number of cars sold off the lot, validating the power of their creative approach.

Conclusion

This family-owned dealership’s innovative use of a superhero mascot in their YouTube advertising has not only changed how customers view them but has also contributed to a tangible increase in sales. If your business is looking for a fresh and engaging way to connect with customers, Vici Media can help you craft a high-impact, cost-effective marketing strategy tailored to your needs.
