At Metta Dealers, we\u2019ve uncovered a fascinating trend in our years of experience: customers who click on Facebook and Instagram ads tend to take longer to convert than leads from other sources. However, this doesn\u2019t mean that social media advertising for car dealerships is a dead end. By deploying our innovative Text Message Follow-Up system, dealerships all over the country have successfully turned these leads into impressive sales numbers. In this blog post, we\u2019ll demonstrate how a strategic, persistent follow-up approach can revolutionize your car dealership\u2019s social media advertising results.<\/p>\n

Key Findings from Metta Dealers\u2019 Client Data: One of our clients invested $6,500 in Facebook ads in April 2022 and sold 30 cars, resulting in a cost of just $217 per car sold\u2014significantly lower than the industry average. Interestingly, the data shows that these leads converted over an extended period, with sales happening even up to March 2023. This underscores the importance of a longer follow-up period for Facebook leads.<\/p>\n
