Atlanta Has a Dozen Dealerships Within 15 Miles. Buyers Pick the One That Feels Familiar.

Car buyers in Atlanta spend 8-12 weeks researching before they set foot on a lot. They compare models on their phone, read reviews at night, and check prices across websites. But when it's time to test drive, they visit the dealerships they've already heard of.

Most auto advertising targets buyers in the final days, bidding on Google search terms when competition and cost-per-click are highest. Social media ads get scrolled past. Billboards on I-75 and I-285 get a two-second glance at best.

The dealerships winning showroom visits are building familiarity over weeks and months. They're reaching buyers inside their Buckhead, Midtown, and Sandy Springs buildings during the entire research window -- not just the last 48 hours.

Why Atlanta Dealerships Choose Elevator Ads

Stay Visible While They're Shopping Around

Car buyers research for weeks before visiting a dealership. Elevator ads keep your name in front of residents the whole time they're comparing options. When they're ready to test drive, your dealership comes to mind first.

Reach Residents with Expiring Leases

Residents in mid-rise and high-rise buildings are more likely to lease than buy. Daily elevator ads keep your dealership top-of-mind when their lease is almost up, driving trade-ins and repeat customers.

Promote Your Service Department to Existing Owners

Car owners need oil changes, tire rotations, and maintenance every few months. Elevator ads in residential buildings remind them to service at your dealership instead of going to an independent shop.

Daily Exposure Builds Trust Before the Sale

Buying a car is a big decision. People go to dealerships they trust. Seeing your name 4-6 times a day for weeks builds the kind of familiarity that brings buyers to your showroom.
