EasyCars has put together 5 simple ways your dealership can increase revenue in 2022.
Let’s get into it!
1. Dealer Finance
The absolute best way to generate more revenue for your dealership in 2022 is through Dealer Finance. Dealer finance has always been an essential part of the car buying process but lately many car buyers prefer to seek finance from external providers rather than at a dealership.
To close finance deals at your dealership, you need to change the customer perception around dealer finance. The only way to do this is by offering multiple competitive finance options for customers. By offering quick access to multiple lenders, customers get the ability to choose and compare the cheapest rates available. If your dealership provides competitive, and cheap rates, customers will ask for finance from your dealership, it’s really that simple.
For your dealership, the benefit of increasing finance deals is you receive a lofty commission for every finance deal that converts. Commissions can vary but many lenders provide upwards of $1,200 per closed lead. Getting just a handful of finance deals a month can equate to almost $60,000 additional revenue for your dealership each year!

2. Vehicle Add-Ons
To generate more revenue your dealership needs to look past the initial vehicle sale. There is only a certain amount of revenue you can generate from the vehicle sale itself. A good way of generating additional revenue is by selling vehicle add-ons.
Simple Vehicle Add-Ons your dealership can sell include additional vehicle warranties, servicing options, longer registration and even additional parts or accessories. Having additional options that customers can purchase gives your dealership a whole new area to generate revenue.
3. Sell Direct-to-Customer

The best way to expand your reach is by offering a direct-to-customer sales option.
