How can local marketing efforts be aligned with purchase intent given the reality of what dealerships actually offer?
Traditional automotive marketing often focuses on generic mass-market messages that are disconnected from the actual availability of vehicles at dealerships. This mismatch leads to irrelevant ads, unavailable vehicles, and a decline in the effectiveness of media budgets.

Objectives
In an automotive market where competition is intensifying and the speed of inventory turnover is becoming a major challenge, dealerships share a common goal: to increase the visibility of their new and used vehicles while optimizing the performance of their digital marketing efforts.

Strategy implemented
Ekstend has implemented a system that connects Meta campaigns to local inventory via an automated feed. The strategy is based on three pillars:
- Local hyper-personalization: Dynamic adaptation of ads based on user behavior and geolocation.
- Catalog automation: Automatic generation and optimization of the catalog without human intervention.
- Real-time synchronization: Continuous alignment of prices, promotions, and availability with dealership inventory.
3
Innovation
- Data consolidation: Conversion of raw data into an advertising catalog.
- Budget allocation: Automatic allocation of the budget to available vehicles, with the option for dealerships to prioritize certain models.
- Local targeting: Matching inventory with the user’s location (segmentation by ZIP code).
