Stingray Chevrolet

VIEW CASE STUDY

The partnership between our store, Stingray Chevrolet in Plant City, Florida, and AUTOFLYTE has been one of the easiest and most beneficial relationships I’ve ever had the pleasure to be involved with in my entire career. Unlike many vendors who simply offer you a service, a subpar (or average at best) implementation process, and then become ghosts or new names and faces you’ll never learn as soon as you’re up and running, AUTOFLYTE has built a great relationship with our store and the same team that convinced us to give them a try remains the team that I still work and communicate with almost weekly, several years later.

The digital display ads and SEM that AUTOFLYTE’s creative team comes up with are outstanding and the turn around time from when I send out the top model offers at the beginning of each month until the ad creatives are ready for approval and to go live is never longer than 2-3 days, which is paramount in the digital advertising world. We have even had our own local competitors spend so much time looking into our social media ads that they’ve accidentally ‘shared’ one of our ads on their page!

The EDGE tool that offers market insights is a personal favorite of mine. Through EDGE I am able to see detailed breakdowns of where our business is coming from and what our customers are buying. Better yet, I am able to drill down by model and zip code to see what our sales are and what (and how many) other dealers are selling within our own 50 mile radius. This tool has been instrumental in catering and adjusting our advertising efforts to increase our digital impact and ultimately gain more business.

Above all, the team that I am fortunate enough to work with from AUTOFLYTE is incredible. They’re always available to help me with anything I need, even if it isn’t specific to the services they provide. They are incredibly proactive and reach out to me any time a new development or idea arises so that we can make swift changes when necessary or, at the very least, have a conversation about it. I cannot say enough good things about Brenda Davis, Steve Leh, and Jeremy Anderson. They’ve made our experience working with AUTOFLYTE such a positive partnership that I cannot imagine doing what my job demands without them.

Our overall advertising spend has been significantly reduced since we first partnered with AUTOFLYTE and our new and used sales are at a record high. We have dominated our market for over a year, increasing the gap between our store and the next best performing store more every month!

Thank you,
