Personalization. Utilize Predictive Analytics in Any Marketing Predictive analytics takes the guesswork out of car sales, prospecting and marketing. It helps identify the potential customer's information to determine their vehicle preferences and history. To be clear, predictive analytics should pull in a lot of data about customers' preferences surrounding make, model, prices, deals and leasing versus buying, to name a few. Then, you can combine your current dealer management system with the predictive analytics services to better understand all current and prospective customers. Putting this data into play will allow you to better tailor your messages to customers, adding that personal touch that they crave.
