Bob Lanham: Creating a Full-Funnel Dealership Marketing Strategy
Bob Lanham is the Head of Automotive Retail at Facebook and shares his best advice about creating a full-funnel, omnichannel marketing strategy for your dealership.
It's not about running a few Facebook ads or Google ads with a dash of Tik-Tok - Bob speaks to the importance of how one channel will drive awareness to another channel. Vroom is a perfect example of how Television (channel 1) drives awareness to the Website (channel 2), which can drive awareness to social media (channel 4), and so on.
Not only that, Bob shares his counsel about addressing a full-funnel, from top to bottom, where most dealers concentrate most of their budget on low-funnel (decision) opportunities.
