Want Continued Momentum in 2016?

The automotive forecast calls for continued momentum in 2016. Last year, Toyota, General Motors, Ford and Chrysler all posted double-digit year-over-year January sales increases … and the industry as a whole was up nearly 14%.  

 

Better still, these numbers are expected to continue all year. According to this article in the Wall Street Journal, all indications are that 2016 will be another record-setting year. Should this prove to be true, it would be the seventh consecutive year of increased sales, making the dog days of 2009 nothing more than a painful distant memory.

 

The combination of cheap gas prices, low auto loan interest rates and an ever-improving job market have consumers looking to buy bigger-ticket items – including automobiles; hence, the forecast for continued momentum. It all adds up to the cautiously optimistic projection of a record-setting 18 million new cars sold in 2016.

 

This article by Forbes suggests a sales slowdown in 2017 because of predicted interest rate increases and lower used-car prices (which also means lower trade-in values). For that reason alone, 2016 should be viewed as an opportunity to be maximized to its fullest potential.

 

To do that, dealers need an advertising agency that can analyze the variables of each dealership’s unique situation and execute the best possible advertising campaigns and media buys. Only then can they feel secure they’re getting everything they can out of their business.
