AutoCount® Market Snapshot delivers detailed knowledge of individual markets to help dealers compete more effectively
Schaumburg, Ill., Sept. 22, 2010 — Experian Automotive today announced it is offering automotive retailers a free AutoCount® Market Snapshot, which provides a monthly overview of sales trends in local markets. The snapshots will help automotive retailers make better inventory and sales decisions by comparing their performance with that of other dealerships and brands in their market.
The AutoCount Market Snapshot includes a six-month overview of new and used vehicle sales customized to the dealer’s local market; the current month’s top-selling vehicles by volume and vehicles with the largest percentage of sales growth; and their market’s largest dealerships and fastest-growing dealerships.
“Dealers who have a firm understanding of their performance versus the overall performance of their market will hold a clear advantage as the automotive market stabilizes,” said Scott Waldron, president of Experian Automotive. “The AutoCount Market Snapshot underscores Experian’s commitment to helping dealers make more informed and successful decisions in our ever-changing marketplace.”
The high-level, general market overview in the AutoCount Market Snapshot is a perfect introduction to the intelligence dealers can benefit from when using Experian Automotive’s full AutoCount market reporting product to better understand their markets. AutoCount provides sales registration data from all 50 states and the District of Columbia, sourced from DMV title and registration data and enhanced with Experian’s credit and demographic assets.
The reports also feature a “luxury” option, allowing automotive retailers of luxury brands to filter their reports to gain insight on direct competitors in the luxury market. The free AutoCount Market Snapshot is available at https://www.autocount.com.
