Outsell LLC Releases 3rd iBase Insight Into Consumer Car Buying Habits -- Study Finds Speed to be Critical to Consumer Purchase Intent
Minneapolis, MN (PRWeb) March 29, 2007 -- Outsell LLC, the fastest growing Internet auto sales and marketing company in America, has released the latest results in its series of iBase research studies on consumer car purchasing habits - "The Importance of Speed."
The third study in this series reveals that the speed of a dealer's response to consumer requests plays a crucial role in a consumer's initial perception of a dealership. 91% of car buyers will search for a vehicle online, and 80% will submit a request for more information via phone or email to multiple dealers before visiting the physical dealership. Since consumers contact multiple dealerships during their search, the initial perception of a dealership is extremely important.
"In today's "data on-demand" climate, it's all about who can provide consumers with the fastest response to their information requests," said Mike Wethington, CEO of Outsell LLC. "Dealers who stall in responding to these requests are missing out on a lot of business."
Outsell's recent iBase Insight not only reveals that consumer interest in purchasing a vehicle from a dealership rapidly decreases if the dealer does not respond to an information request in a timely fashion, but also finds that time spent at the physical dealership is a key consideration for car buyers- 90% of consumers would prefer to complete their shopping experience at the dealership in 2 hours or less.
"Offering a fast and efficient purchasing process affects the likelihood of a consumer returning to the dealership," said Wethington. "Knowledgeable floor sales staff, transparent pricing and good overall customer service is the key to not only ensuring a single purchase, but also encouraging future purchases and advocacy from the customer."
