How dealers can sell more vehicles in winter

What winter buyers look for

• AWD and 4x4. Put the drivetrain in the first line of every listing.
• Winter tires. "New winter tires" is one of the details buyers ask about most.
• Remote start and heated seats. Show them in the photos and the description.
• Rust and underbody condition. Be honest and show it.

Keep your listings winter-ready

• Fresh photos. A vehicle covered in snow in a summer photo raises questions. Clear the snow, shoot it clean.
• Updated descriptions. Mention the tires, the drivetrain and the cold-weather features.
• Renew and refresh. Fewer people walk the lot, so your online listings do more of the work.

Use the slow weeks

• Film walkarounds of every vehicle when the lot is quiet.
• Ask for reviews from every buyer of the year.
• Follow up old leads with new arrivals that match what they wanted.

For RV and powersports dealers

Winter is snowmobile season and the planning season for everything else. Market snowmobiles hard, collect leads for spring RVs, motorcycles and side-by-sides, and launch pre-season offers early so buyers are ready when the snow melts. RV and powersports dealer marketing →
