They saw the ads at home.
Then they came to the dealership and bought.

The business challenge
A competitive market.
Discerning buyers.
Vehicle purchases are considered decisions. Shoppers may research online and visit several dealerships before choosing a car. The business question was not simply whether the ads appeared, but whether they reached customers who ultimately bought.
The goal was more than a delivery report: understand whether advertising reached buyers in the dealership’s actual sales records.
The advertising strategy
Reach the right households.
Measure real purchases.
The dealership’s February sales records were checked against households reached by the campaign. Connecting household ad exposure with vehicle purchase records made it possible to see which buyers the advertising had reached.
- Connect advertising exposure with dealership sales records
- Measure household matches, not website traffic alone
- Identify vehicle buyers reached by the campaign
- Distinguish matched purchases from sales caused by advertising
The customer journey
From ad exposure to vehicle ownership.
Advertising reached potential buyers. The dealership’s sales records then helped connect vehicle purchases with households exposed to the campaign. These stages show campaign measures, not a tracked sequence for every individual.

The results
59 buyers the ads had reached.
By matching campaign exposure against dealership sales records, the campaign identified 59 vehicle buyers from households that had been reached by the advertising.
That gave the dealership a clearer view of which buyers its advertising reached. A household match shows a connection to the campaign, not that advertising alone caused each purchase.
Campaign period: February 1–28, 2026.
