3 What is the most common response to a mobile search? Visit to a Web Site? Filling out a Form? Online purchase? Visiting a dealer? Going in-store? #DD17 @johnmbusby @marchex

4 Actually, it is none of those. #DD17 @johnmbusby @marchex

5 In 2016, mobile search will produce 70 billion consumer to business phone calls Source: BIA/Kelsey (2012) Internet Call Volumes by Channel #DD17 @johnmbusby @marchex

9 But what do we know beyond that? #DD17 @johnmbusby @marchex http://bit.ly/marchexauto
10
10 First, at a high level we found that there are three types of phone calls. 71 % Product or Service Calls 13 % Non Product or Service Calls 16 % Unanswered #DD17 @johnmbusby @marchex
11
11 What kinds of calls are not product or service calls? PersonalJob Inquiry Wrong NumberVendor VoicemailUnclear Intent #DD17 @johnmbusby @marchex 13 % Non Product or Service Calls
12
12 How about unanswered calls? Voicemail Phone Tree Hang-up Hold Time or Ring Hang-up Non-Product VoicemailFax #DD17 @johnmbusby @marchex
13
13 Are they calling about a new car? Other New Business Parts Service Used Car Sales New Car #DD17 @johnmbusby @marchex
14
14 Calls can be a profit center for dealerships. #DD17 @johnmbusby @marchex
15
15 Product or service: How many produce appointments? Hours & Directions Other Product Inquiries Sale or Appointment Service Not Offered Follow-up PoS Voicemail Message #DD17 @johnmbusby @marchex
16
16 Ugh. In 60% of calls, an appointment was never tried. 29 % Customer 8 % Service Rep 63 % Never Mentioned #DD17 @johnmbusby @marchex Note: Based on data from 2014 auto campaign driven by Marchex Call Market Place.
17
17 It’s even more dismal for sales-related calls. N= 223 #DD17 @johnmbusby @marchex Note: Based on data from 2014 auto campaign driven by Marchex Call Market Place.
18
18 What we’ve observed as successful by analyzing calls to dealerships. Whenever a consumer inquires about store hours, provide “next available appointment”. Capture “drive-by” callers by offering promotional prices or limited time offers. Turn “research” calls into “why us” calls. #DD17 @johnmbusby @marchex
19
19 A few things we left out of the study… #DD17 @johnmbusby @marchex http://bit.ly/marchexauto
20
20 Our data shows that Millennials and Generation X are most predisposed to calling from digital and mobile ads. Sources: Marchex Data2014, more than 40,000+ calls. Neustar Element One Over Index Against US Population Under Index Against US Population Most Over Indexed Segment Against US Population Age #DD17 @johnmbusby @marchex
21
21 How did we collect the information for the paper? Through Call DNA – conversational analytics. #DD17 @johnmbusby @marchex
22
22 For this study, it can show us the types of service calls. Note: Based on a random sample of 5,000+ calls from 2014 that were >45 seconds long. #DD17 @johnmbusby @marchex
23
23 Or whether a brand or location is truly about giving consumers the lowest price. Note: Based on a random sample of 6359 calls from Oct. 23 through Nov. 30 that were >45 seconds long. #DD17 @johnmbusby @marchex
24
24 Call DNA can also begin to show the effectiveness of different digital marketing campaigns. Sources: 10,000+ calls from Sep-Nov 2013 #DD17 @johnmbusby @marchex
25
25 Or how often a consumer is mentioning a specific make or model when calling a dealer. Model mentions among new and used car calls Model mentions among parts and service calls Sources: Marchex Data2014 #DD17 @johnmbusby @marchex

26 Should auto dealers be getting coal in their stockings this holiday season? Sources: Marchex Data2013 #DD17 @johnmbusby @marchex
