The Story

In today’s digital landscape, where giants like Amazon set the standard, providing a personalized and top-notch service is non-negotiable. The key to meeting these heightened expectations lies in harnessing the power of centralized first-party data – the foundation for a profound understanding of your customers.

First party data – the data you collect directly from interactions with your customers and audiences on your own channels. This can include things like:  

• CRM data: name, phone, email, address, notes 
• Transaction history (DMS): vehicles, accessories, upgrades, trades 
• Interests: brands, vehicles, segments 

The Problem

Dealers aiming for a competitive edge understand the significance of leveraging first-party data, especially from the two primary sources – the DMS and CRM. While consolidating data from these sources is crucial for tracking customers throughout their lifecycle journey, challenges arise. Data needs to be cleansed, matched, and merged; a process Outsell has been implementing for years. However, these data sources only offer a limited, temporary view of the customer. So, how do you gain real-time insights? The answer often leads back to your website.

The Solution

Enter Outsell’s cutting-edge solution – Identity Resolution. This innovative product tracks and matches website activity to known customer records in your CRM and DMS. Taking it a step further, we are integrating this enriched data into existing campaigns and unveiling the game-changing “Converter Campaign” to retarget these low-funnel customers with omnichannel communications. The results are nothing short of impressive.

The Results

In a (blind) case study spanning October to December 2023, 126 dealers across multiple brands and regions enabled a website script, allowing us to track two key visitor categories:

• Direct Visitors: Those who directly landed on the site from an email click.
• Return Visitors: Those who initially visited through our email and later returned via other means.

With Identity Resolution:

• Following the first email engagement, we tracked and matched 67% more activity to known customers.
• This led to a 30% increase in follow-ups for individuals who might have otherwise been overlooked.

Furthermore, the newfound website clickers exhibited a 24% higher conversion rate compared to those targeted through other methods. This indicates that our tailored communications not only engaged but significantly influenced sales.
