How Johnson Hyundai Influenced 22 Sales in Just 30 Days With DealerSmart

As an independent dealer, you know it takes more than luck to move vehicles and capture the attention of potential buyers.

Our client, Johnson Hyundai of Apex proved exactly that when they partnered with us and influenced 22 sales in just 30 days with our expert strategies.

In just one month, Johnson Hyundai showed how a data-driven action plan can turn campaigns into conversions. From the Hyundai logo on the lot to the independent dealers logo in the digital space, they combined the right tools and the right team to boost results fast.

The Action Behind the Numbers

Here is what Johnson Hyundai accomplished in this short amount of time:

  • 113,000 impressions
  • 5,064 clicks
  • $1.12 cost per click
  • 22 sales influenced

These results were not just about random traffic.

They came from reaching qualified potential buyers who were actively looking for their next Hyundai, Toyota, Honda, Kia, Nissan, Ford, Mazda, Volkswagen, Chevrolet, GMC, Dodge, Jeep, Chrysler, Ram, Lincoln, or Mitsubishi.

At DealerSmart, we helped them to tap into the perfect digital campaigns that connected the right people to the right inventory.

Four Campaign Types That Brought Potential Buyers to Action (Purchase)

Johnson Hyundai of Apex worked with DealerSmart to launch four strategic campaigns, each designed to turn attention into action.

1. Subprime Quiz Funnel

The funnel graphic comes to life here. Johnson Hyundai used a quiz funnel to pre-qualify subprime customers, giving the sales team warmer leads ready for follow-up. This action saved time and focused efforts where it mattered most.

2. “Why Buy” Retargeting Campaign

Using smart retargeting, Johnson Hyundai reminded previous website visitors why they should return.

This “Why Buy” message focused on what makes the Hyundai logo stand out next to competitors like the Nissan logo, Mazda logo, Chevrolet logo, Jeep logo, Chrysler logo, Lincoln logo, Toyota logo, Honda logo, GMC logo, Volkswagen logo, Ford logo, Dodge logo, Kia logo, Mitsubishi logo, and Ram logo.

3. Automotive Inventory Ads (AIA)

Johnson Hyundai used AIA to ensure their Hyundai vehicles and other inventory were front and center for shoppers browsing online.

Automotive inventory ads drove high-intent traffic, putting real models and prices in front of potential buyers.

4. Instant Experience Campaigns

The icons graphic and stairs graphic represent how Johnson Hyundai guided shoppers step by step through mobile-first, visually engaging campaigns.

These instant experiences educated, inspired, and built a connection between the Hyundai logo and eager buyers.
