\with Customers on Dealer Websites, says Gen Balouev, General Manager at Norm Reeves Honda West Covina

When Gen Balouev, the general manager at Norm Reeves Honda West Covina, looked at adding video to his website, he learned he had many options.

Those options ranged from having his staff shoot videos of all the Honda models, to hiring a service to do it at his dealership or to just have a company stream them on his site. But Balouev was certain: people were watching videos online. More than 70% of all car buyers watch at least one video before they come to the showroom. Balouev’s Southern California buying demographic can choose from more than 50 dealerships in a 20-mile radius—video could help his store stand out.

In addition, his Southern California Honda dealerships sells hundreds of new cars a month—and he wants to sell more.

“People are watching the VehiclesTEST videos on our site, we see that through the reporting,” said Gen Balouev, General Manager of Norm Reeves Honda in West Covina. “The VehiclesTEST videos are great quality and the customers watch them for more than three minutes.”

All dealerships spend a lot of money between all their marketing resources attempting to attract attention to their inventory. How about this for a statistic? 93% of marketers say video brought them new customers.

There is a case to be made that social media can help sell more cars. In fact, according to a study by leading video research company Animoto, 73% of consumers responded that their purchase decision was impacted by a company’s social media presence. And what is the most popular type of content across all social media properties?

Video.

The question is: How do you get it? Make it yourself, which is time consuming, error prone and not what your staff is trained to do. Or hire someone else to do it?

“We’re always trying to find out what works and what doesn’t,” Balouev said. “Video looks beautiful on any website. It’s a great addition to the customer experience and gives them a new way to learn more about the car they are interested in.”

Dealers must change with the times and the 21st-Century way that people are shopping for new vehicles. Video content is here to stay and will increasingly dominate all platforms as the preferred type of content influencing sales.

“You’re behind if you don’t already have a plan to have video content to call attention your inventory, your store’s value propositions and your monthly promos,” explained Doug Thompson, publisher of VehiclesTEST.com. “It can be accomplished with little effort, once video is in place it works around the clock. The ROI on video is easy to see.”
