Subpar photos lead to low click-through rates on digital ads, wasting budget on impressions that don’t convert. Listings with professional images see 133% higher click-throughs for new cars and 349% for used cars compared to stock photos. If a dealership spends $10,000 monthly on online ads, better photos could double lead generation without increasing ad spend, effectively halving the cost per lead.
FAQ
How do vehicle photos affect a dealership's ad spend?
If ads send shoppers to listings with poor photos, fewer of them turn into leads, so the dealer pays for clicks and impressions that don’t convert.
How can better photos lower cost per lead?
360Booth’s argument is that stronger photos generate more leads from the same ad budget, which brings down the cost of each lead without spending more.
What is 360Booth?
360Booth makes drive-in vehicle photo studios for car dealerships, used with the SHOOTit AI smart camera to capture consistent, real inventory photos.
