3. Business Issue
• An increased number of people are looking at cars to buy from
dealerships.
• But….there are people that are unsure about what exactly they want
in a car.
• The car dealership’s marketing and advertising to new/prospective
buyers needs to know what to say & how to say it to increase sales

9. SURVEY OVERVIEW
(2 of 2)
• 51 Individuals responded
• Assess two major aspects of messages
– Does it convince a consumer to buy?
– How does it make the consumer feel?
• Data reveals the mind-sets of respondents across the United
States, as well as ‘what works, what doesn’t’
© 2011 9

10. The Survey begins with an orientation screen
© 2011 10

11. Each respondent evaluates 48 unique combinations of elements
First on overall interest

15. The Total Panel’s Interest is Different From That in Each of Three Identified
Segments

appeal to the other…and could actually hurt

27. Conclusions
• Three Segments discovered by Addressable Minds point to the
need for 3 individual messaging groups:
1. Average Jane/Joe
2. Low Technology
3. Top of the Line
• Positive Emotions can be uncovered and subsequently reinforced
in the marketing elements
• Conclusion => You can improve messaging...but you have to
– Know what to avoid for all segments
– Give the right message to the right segment
