The Craft: Strategy and Execution

Fierce Media developed a robust digital strategy to enhance Hamilton Volkswagen’s digital presence and boost sales. We managed social media ad campaigns on Instagram and Facebook, creating engaging posts that highlighted the latest inventory and monthly offers. The campaigns were tailored to align with the dealership’s brand identity and resonate with their target audience.

 

To extend their reach, we launched a targeted Google Ads campaign focused on expanding the dealership’s presence in Stoney Creek and Grimsby. This included a mix of search ads, display ads, and YouTube pre-roll ads, all designed to drive potential customers to the Hamilton Volkswagen website. Custom audience targeting was implemented to re-engage previous website visitors, boosting brand recognition and encouraging return visits.

 

For special events like the Kings Red Event, Fierce Media created custom marketing materials, including social media assets, Google ads, email campaigns, landing pages, and website banners. These ad hoc campaigns allowed Hamilton Volkswagen to showcase specific inventory and limited-time offers, adapting quickly to market needs and promotional opportunities.

The Leap: Outcomes and Evolution

The Hamilton Volkswagen Digital Campaigns significantly boosted the dealership’s online visibility, resulting in increased website traffic and enhanced customer engagement. The strategic use of social media and Google advertising helped expand their geographic reach, attracting a wider audience to explore the dealership’s offerings.

One standout success was the Kings Red Event, where the focus on red vehicles led to an exceptional result: Hamilton Volkswagen sold as many red vehicles in one month as they typically do in an entire year. This demonstrated the effectiveness of targeted campaigns in driving sales and engaging customers. Overall, the dealership experienced improved sales conversions and strengthened its position in the market.
