Vistar Media Integration for Dealerships

Your own Vistar Media account or the managed network, planned in Leads Manager, with every lead in one CRM.

Out of home used to mean a twelve month billboard contract signed with whoever owned the structure. Vistar Media is the demand side of the version that replaced it. It buys digital out of home programmatically, reaching most of the large billboard operators and the place based screen networks in shopping centres, petrol forecourts, gyms and transit, through one connection rather than one contract per owner.

The unit of purchase is the play. A digital screen runs a loop, your creative occupies a slot in it, and you pay for the plays you take rather than for a month of vinyl. That is the fact a dealership should hold onto, because it changes what out of home is for. A store running a weekend sale can buy screens along the roads that feed its lot for Friday and Saturday only, and stop.

Targeting is built from location behaviour rather than from a person. The platform selects screens whose observed foot and vehicle traffic matches the audience you asked for, which is a real capability and a different thing from knowing who is looking.

The case is presence where the decision physically happens. A dealership is a place people drive to, and screens along the corridors feeding your lot reach the exact population that could plausibly arrive. Buying by the play removes the commitment that kept out of home out of reach for single rooftops, so a store can put money behind a weekend event, a model year clearance or a new location opening without signing anything that outlasts it. For a used car operation competing with franchise stores that have had the big board on the highway for years, that is a genuine change in what is buyable.

The honest objection is that nobody clicks a billboard. There is no opt in, no form, no session, and no reliable way to tell you what a screen did. Attribution in this channel is built from mobile location panels comparing people who passed an exposed screen against people who did not, and then estimating store visits. It is modelled, the panel is a sample, and it is produced by parties with an interest in the result. Treat any store visit lift figure as an argument rather than a count.

The second objection is creative. A driver gives a roadside screen a second or two at most, from an angle, often in poor light, sometimes at speed. Six words and a recognisable logo can work. A payment, a rate, four vehicles and a phone number cannot, and the most common way a dealership wastes an out of home budget is by putting a print ad on a screen. If precise proximity is what you actually want, geofencing reaches a phone rather than a windscreen.

Leave your number and a lead specialist calls you back to answer your questions about pricing, coverage, and setup. Mon - Sat, 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM Pacific.

Vistar Media is available to your dealership on request. Ask for it from the Advertising Networks page inside the CRM, or tell the person who set up your account, and our team puts it in production for your store, usually the same day for platforms with public credentials and as soon as the vendor completes its own onboarding for the ones that gate access. There is no separate integration project to schedule and no fee attached to turning a network on.

Two paths are open from the first day. The webXintel Ads Network is included with every plan: you choose the zone you sell in, the campaign type and the pre screening questions in Leads Manager, and our team builds and runs campaigns from those selections. The second path is your own Vistar Media account, connected so campaigns run under a login your dealership owns, with the spend on your card and the history in your name. Agencies that already manage Vistar Media for the store keep their seat and we work inside it. Neither choice is permanent; a store can start on the managed network and add its own account later, or run both.

When Vistar Media runs for your store, the campaign settings travel out from Leads Manager: the geographic radius or zone around the dealership, the budget and flight dates, the campaign objective and the creative variants you approved. Results travel back: spend, impressions, clicks and whatever Vistar Media reports as a conversion, laid beside every other channel in the same report so the question of whether Vistar Media earned its budget is answered in one place.

Leads arrive either through a form inside Vistar Media where the platform offers one, posted to the CRM as it is submitted, or through a click to a LeadLocate lead page in your dealership's name, with the pre screening questions you chose, so every inquiry is a lead in the CRM with the campaign attached. Every lead carries its source and its campaign, the follow up runs through the CRM's own texting, calling and email, and Instant Push forwards each lead by ADF to the CRM your store already uses if you want to work it there. What to expect from a lead describes the mix that arrives.

Credentials are stored encrypted, every action taken against Vistar Media is written to an audit log with the company, the user and the detail, and campaign objects remember which credentials created them so nothing is stranded if an account is disconnected. Your customer list and your inventory stay yours; if you want either used on Vistar Media, for an audience or for vehicle level creative, you ask and our team builds that for your store.

Vistar Media is not a one off project inside the CRM. LeadLocate runs every advertising platform through one gateway with a single contract: hand us an authorization URL, exchange the code for a token, list the accounts you own, deploy a campaign, pause or resume it, return spend and results, and prove on demand that the connection still works. Seven operations, one adapter per network. Adding Vistar Media for your store is our team's work against that contract, which is why it is a request rather than a quote.

The shared machinery is the same for every platform and is already in place. Tokens are encrypted before storage, every action is written to an append only audit log, and campaign objects re-resolve the credentials that created them so disconnecting an account never orphans the campaigns built under it. Turning Vistar Media on for one dealership does not disturb any other network the store runs, and it does not disturb any other dealership.

Vistar Media issues advertising credentials after an application it reviews, so there is an onboarding step on the vendor's side before campaigns run. Our team files that application in your dealership's name, follows it through and connects the account the day it clears. Where the store or its agency already holds approved access, we work inside it and skip the wait.

Whatever the gate, the store's part is the same: say which platform you want, whether you already hold an account there, and what you would run first. Our team takes it from that point and reports back with a start date rather than a list of steps for you to complete.

You choose whose account the campaigns live under. The included webXintel Ads Network puts them under ours: you set the zone, the campaign type and the pre screening questions in Leads Manager, our team does the building and the daily management, and the cost is inside your plan. Nothing waits on Vistar Media for that path to be producing leads.

Your own Vistar Media account puts them under yours. Connect the account you already have, or have our team open one in the dealership's name, and the media is billed by Vistar Media to you, without markup, with the history belonging to the store. Agencies keep their existing seat and we work inside it. Switching between the two paths, or running both, is a request to our team.

Day to day, our team pushes, pauses and reads the numbers for you and reports them in the CRM, and any store that wants those controls in its own dashboard can ask for them.

Vistar Media sets its own commercial terms and our team confirms the practical minimum for your market before anything is booked, so the budget is a number you agreed to rather than a surprise on an invoice. On timing, judge Vistar Media over a full flight rather than a weekend: a shopper reached today searches your store by name days later, and the CRM shows that lift beside the direct leads. Because of that, the plan for Vistar Media is written with a review date on it from day one, and our team reads it with you at that date rather than leaving the store to guess.

Start narrow: one zone, one campaign type, one offer and the pre screening questions you already use, then widen once the first flight has a read. Adding a format, a wider radius or a second rooftop is a request to our team. Reporting lands in the CRM beside every other channel, so the store compares Vistar Media to search, social and the managed network in one place instead of reconciling three dashboards.

Whatever Vistar Media can do, LeadLocate can do for your store. Feeding sales results back to Vistar Media so it learns, building an audience from your sold or service customers, running your live inventory as creative, exporting reports the way your group wants them, or wiring a step that exists nowhere else: ask, and our team builds it into the CRM for your dealership. We built the platform ourselves, so a request is work for our own team rather than a support ticket that waits on a vendor.

The same goes for combinations. If your store wants Vistar Media beside Netflix, Meta and a billboard company in one place, with the leads in one inbox and one person to call, that is what we set up. Users are limited only by their creativity, and our team is the part that turns the idea into a running campaign. Every channel we run is listed on advertising channels for car dealerships.

Ask. From the Advertising Networks page inside the CRM, request Vistar Media and say whether you already hold an account there and what you would run first. Our team confirms the plan with you, handles the platform side and tells you the start date. New to LeadLocate? Pick a plan on the pricing page, month to month with no long term contract, and the included webXintel Ads Network starts producing leads while Vistar Media is being set up.

Pricing for the platform is on the pricing page and it does not change based on which networks you turn on. Media bought under your own Vistar Media account is billed by Vistar Media to you and never marked up by us.

Does LeadLocate integrate with Vistar Media?

Yes, on request. Ask for Vistar Media from the Advertising Networks page in the CRM and our team puts it in production for your dealership, under your own account or through the included webXintel Ads Network. LeadLocate sets this platform up for your dealership on request, so all you have to do is ask.

Can I use my own Vistar Media account?

Yes. Connect the account your store already holds, or let our team open one in your dealership's name, and campaigns run under it on your billing with the history staying with the store. Agencies that manage Vistar Media for you keep their seat and we work inside it.

How long does it take to set up Vistar Media?

Usually the same day for platforms with public credentials. Where Vistar Media reviews applications or requires a contract on its side, our team files it in your name and campaigns start as soon as Vistar Media completes its onboarding. The managed network runs the whole time.

What does LeadLocate charge for Vistar Media?

The platform is a monthly subscription, month to month with no long term contract, priced on the pricing page, and every plan includes the webXintel Ads Network. Media you buy under your own Vistar Media account is billed by Vistar Media to you and never marked up by us.

Can Vistar Media leads go into the CRM we already use?

Yes. Turn on Instant Push and every lead is forwarded to your existing CRM by ADF the moment it arrives, with its source and campaign attached. The subscription price is the same whether you work leads in LeadLocate or forward them.

Can you run Vistar Media together with my other advertising?

Yes. Vistar Media sits beside search, social, streaming television, outdoor and mail in the same CRM, with one report and one point of contact. Any combination a store can name, our team sets up.

What if I want something Vistar Media supports that is not on this page?

Ask for it. Conversion feedback, audiences from your customer file, inventory driven creative, custom reporting or a workflow unique to your store: our team scopes it and builds it into the CRM for your dealership.

Can I use my own Vistar Media account?

Yes. Connect the account your store already holds, or let our team open one in your dealership's name, and campaigns run under it on your billing with the history staying with the store. Agencies that manage Vistar Media for you keep their seat and we work inside it.

Ask for Vistar Media from the Advertising Networks page in the CRM and our team sets it up, usually the same day. Under your own account or the included webXintel Ads Network, your choice, with every lead in one place.
