Just like in a physical dealership, presentation matters. If you want customers to feel comfortable—and excited—about buying a car digitally, you need to create an engaging, seamless experience. ## **Why Presentation Matters** Think about walking into a dealership. The way cars are displayed influences how you feel about buying. The same principle applies online. An engaging and orderly website converts shoppers into low-funnel leads and sales.  This is a clip of the training we prepared for Kia dealers on organizing your SRP and VDP. ### **Key Takeaways:** ## **High-quality Merchandising ** High-quality visuals and interactive tools can make or break the experience. One tool that stands out: 360° WALK AROUNDS® from Impel.  We’ve seen a 44% increase in lead conversion when this feature is available. Why? Because customers want to “digitally touch and feel” the car before committing. ## **Call-to-Action Buttons: Make It Clear** Not every customer wants to complete the entire transaction online—and that’s okay. Think of it like a grocery store: some people prefer self-checkout, others want a cashier. Your site should make it clear which options are available. ### **Avoid a Fragmented Journey** If you’re using multiple tools for trade-in, financing, and buying, make sure they’re connected. A common mistake? A customer gets a trade-in value on one tool, then sees a completely different value when they click “Buy Now.” That inconsistency creates friction—and lost deals. ## **Types of CTAs That Work** Here are the big ones: - **Self-checkout** - **Instant Trade-in Offer** - **Pre-qualification / Soft pull** - **Finance options** ## **What the Data Says** - **Instant trade-in CTAs** get a lot of clicks. - **Pre-qual CTAs** don’t get as much traffic, but they convert at a high rate. ## **Lead Capture: When to Ask for Info** Some digital retail tools ask for contact info upfront. That can boost lead volume—but often with fake info. Letting customers “play in the sandbox” first usually leads to better engagement and higher-quality leads. --- ### **Key Takeaways** - Invest in **360° walk-arounds** for better engagement. - Make your **CTAs clear and connected**—avoid fragmented tools. - Use **data-driven CTA strategies** to maximize conversions. - Be strategic about **when you capture customer info**.
