Big News!

We’re excited to share that our On the Road model video test drives are now integrated into TradePending’s AutoBio service.

AutoBio is an interactive tool that highlights key details about a vehicle—standout features like heated seats or advanced safety systems, maintenance history, and more. It helps shoppers build trust and confidence by showing what makes each vehicle special. Now, with WheelsTV's model videos, shoppers can see the car’s features in action, creating a more engaging and informative experience. Our videos will help address questions, generate interest, and make it easier for shoppers to confidently decide if a vehicle is the right fit within AutoBio.

Why it Matters:

Video has become a must-have for vehicle merchandising. Shoppers expect quick access to the information they need to make confident decisions.

TradePending’s innovative solution aligns perfectly with our mission to elevate the car shopping experience. We’re thrilled to partner with them and look forward to helping their dealer network succeed!

As someone who sells cars, you know better than anyone that today's shoppers are smarter and more informed than ever because of the digital marketplace. Today's shoppers are no longer just browsing; they are engaging, researching, and visualizing themselves behind the wheel before ever setting foot into your dealership.

That's where good visual content makes the difference. Videos like the one below about the 2025 Toyota Crown Signia add that extra layer of storytelling your high-quality photos or text descriptions cannot.

To all Internet Sales Managers reading this, it means showcasing inventory with a depth and ease that no other medium can afford, hooking online shoppers with content that is equally information-packed as they are beautiful. For the Sales teams, this is about turning static listings into dynamic experiences that emotionally connect the value of each vehicle, encouraging faster turnover and reducing that all-important inventory cost. And of GMs - videos act as a powerful differentiator in a fiercely competitive market that drives better engagement and, ultimately, profitability.

Consider your SRPs and VDPs: How do you connect with today's digital-first car shopper? If your listings could talk, what would their stories be? It's not about just listing the vehicle; it's about bringing it to life when it comes to online merchandising. By using video storytelling, you can bridge the gap and connect more effectively with these digital-first shoppers, understanding their needs and preferences better.

Thinking of tapping into social commerce for your dealership or agency but lacking the relevant visual merchandising assets?

Ever wonder why some dealership websites seem to *click* while others fall flat? Or how third-party portals like Cars Commerce, Autotrader US, and CarGurus don't fully engage and convert as you would like - it's often about what they’re showing (or not showing) to potential buyers.

📉 Without engaging video content, you might be seeing:
- High bounce rates on your inventory pages
- Email campaigns that don’t get clicks
- Sales teams struggling to connect with prospects
- A social media presence that’s just… there

Imagine instead:
- Buyers sticking around longer, exploring your cars in motion
- A 10X boost in click-through rates from emails to your inventory
- Engaged prospects reaching out for test drives after watching video reports
- Standing out because you’re not just another site with static images

If your website and or third-party portal isn’t keeping buyers engaged and your team isn’t equipped with relevant video content, it might be time to rethink what’s driving your digital strategy. 🚀 Head over to www.wheelstv.net/features to see the world's largest video test drive library of cars in motion - in action.

🔍 Visual Merchandising Content Matters in the Shopper's Journey

With OEMs spending $17.5 billion annually on marketing, it's clear that going beyond the 30-second TV spot is essential. While ads and reviews are important, there's often a gap: a helpful, independent overview of the vehicle. 🚗

At WheelsTV, we're transforming car research into an emotional experience that drives decisions. Our videos do more than just inform—they spark emotional connections.

Harvard professor Gerald Zaltman found that 95% of purchase decisions are made subconsciously, driven by emotions rather than logic. Neuroscience backs this up, showing how critical emotions are in decision-making.

But here's the problem: many dealerships lack an emotional connection to their inventory. Photos, spins, and walkaround videos are helpful but often fail to create that crucial connection.

Remember, all current merchandising visuals on SRPs/VDPs just show the car "sitting still" on the lot—vehicles are meant to be in motion. WheelsTV makes that possible, bringing vehicles to life and connecting shoppers emotionally with their future cars.

See below, and head to www.wheelstv.net/features to see how we're helping to fuel decisions with emotion!

🌟 Wheels TV Takes on London! 🌟

This week, WheelsTV is on the move in London, and we're soaking up some inspiration in one of our favorite haunts: Detroit Pizza London! 🇺🇸🍕
Imagine a little slice of Americana right in the heart of London—complete with walls adorned with fantastic automotive memorabilia. It's like taking a stroll down memory lane with muscle cars and classic vibes, all while enjoying a delicious slice.

Fun fact: Dover Parkersburg made the steel pans used for Detroit-style pizza in the 1930s and 1940s. They were originally used as drip trays or to hold small parts in auto factories.

If you're in London and craving a taste of Detroit - this is a great spot!

Fast Facts Friday

Did you know "test drive" is the top YouTube search query for car shoppers? (Think with Google). This means your hard-earned website visitors will leave your VDPs to watch on-the-road videos on YouTube at some point during their purchasing journey.

Additionally, buyers spend up to two hours watching videos of vehicles in motion on the road (not on the lot) before making a purchase decision (Think with Google).

Lastly, 96% of franchise dealers do not have on-the-road videos on their VDPs.

This is an untapped merchandising potential!

With WheelsTV, you can now keep shoppers on your VDPs longer, helping them emotionally connect with the car on the lot, learn about key features and attributes, and trust you more. Our videos double the time on your pages and speed up their decision-making.

We have termed a new phrase in automotive visual marketing:

Make it Your Tube NOT YouTube.

Check out our deck to see how you might be unintentionally making it harder for shoppers to buy their next car from you:

If you've been in the automotive merchandising industry for a while, you've likely heard the phrases, "video is up and coming" or "video is on the rise."

However, the landscape has changed. Today, video plays a dominant role in how people discover, research, and make purchase decisions about their next vehicle.

We're now in what we've dubbed the "Video Economy," where video content is crucial for engaging and informing shoppers.

Watch our 2025 Honda HR-V test drive video below to better understand this shift and how to leverage it. Videos like this could really transform your merchandising strategy.
