Crushing the New Normal

A GUIDEBOOK FOR RAPID GROWTH IN THE NEW AGE

2020 brought unprecedented change in US retail business through the abrupt arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic. Automotive dealerships had to pivot from set strategic plans as they adapted to "the new normal." Dealers had to contend with reduced advertising spends, lower traffic, changed shopper behaviors, and forced adoption of "halfway digital retailing."

Through the course of the 2020 pandemic fullthrottle.aiTM and iHeart Media partnered with thousands of dealerships across the country to collect invaluable website data via the Shopper Suite platform. 704,409 households across 295 dealers were measured Pre-COVID-19 (January & February 2020, through the pandemic, and Post-COVID-19 (September & October 2020).
