LED Truck Media Ads for Car Sales Leads

Digital billboards on trucks driven through the routes, events and neighborhoods you choose, in any market.

LED Truck Media operates mobile billboards: trucks carrying large digital screens on three sides that are driven along routes and parked at events the advertiser chooses, in markets across the country. A dealership books a truck for a day, a weekend or a campaign, sets the route through its zone, the events it wants to be seen at and the hours, and the screens rotate its creative the whole time, with tracking that shows where the truck was and when.

The value for a dealership is control and presence: a truck circling a rival's lot during a tent sale, parked outside a stadium before a game, driving the commute route past the store's own competitors, or sitting at a county fair with the weekend's inventory rotating on the screen. It is outdoor advertising that goes where the buyers are that day rather than waiting for them to drive past a fixed face.

A store spends on a mobile billboard for an event, a sale weekend or a conquest route, when it wants a large moving screen exactly where the buyers will be, in a market where the fixed faces are booked or badly placed. It is bought by the day, so the commitment is small, and the route tracking shows it did what was booked.

The honest objection is that a truck reaches whoever is on its route that day and nobody else, so the frequency of a fixed face is missing, and the effect is a burst of awareness around an event rather than a steady presence. Direct response is minimal, the read comes through event traffic and branded search that weekend, and daily rates add up if a store tries to run a truck as a permanent fixture.

For the broader case for this kind of channel, Geofencing Advertising for Car Dealerships covers it without repeating what is here.

LED Truck Media fits stores running tent sales, anniversary events and truck months, stores near stadiums and fairgrounds, and dealer groups wanting a presence at community events. It fits less well as an always on channel and for stores that need direct response. It is available in most markets.

LED Truck Media is bought through buying platforms and media partners rather than a self serve console, and LeadLocate reaches it for your dealership that way. Ask for it from the Advertising Networks page in the CRM and our team arranges the placement for your store, through a buying partner or an order placed in your dealership's name, with the geography set to the market you sell in. If your dealership or your agency already holds a seat on a platform that carries LED Truck Media, we can work through that instead. Either way the campaign is planned from the same Leads Manager selections as every other channel you run with us, and it reports into the same place.

A mobile billboard sourced lead reaches the CRM as event traffic logged with the source, a branded search that weekend, a scan of a code on the screen, or a call to the number shown, attributed over days rather than weeks because the buy is an event. The CRM's reporting shows the branded search and walk in spike around the booked dates.

From that point the lead behaves like every other lead in LeadLocate. It is stamped with the channel and the campaign, it lands with the salesperson or the round robin you set in lead distribution, and the first touch can fire on its own, a text, an email or a task, before anyone opens it. Stores that keep working leads in a different CRM switch on Instant Push, and the lead is forwarded by ADF as it arrives; the price does not change for that. One thing worth saying on every channel page: the shopper decides what to submit. A person with a VIN picked out and a person with a payment in mind are both leads, and what to expect from car sales leads explains why that mix is normal.

Every channel LeadLocate runs shares one workflow. Campaigns are set up in Leads Manager from a zone, a campaign type and a set of pre screening questions. Leads arrive in one inbox, route by one set of distribution rules, and are worked with the CRM's own texting, calling, call transcription, email and voicemail drop. Reporting is one place, with activity, company and management views. LED Truck Media slots into that as a source, nothing more, and that is the reason a store can afford to try it: the cost of adding a channel is the media, not another system. The advertising channels page lists every channel the CRM can run this way.

It also means a channel can be judged fairly. When every lead carries its source and every call, text and appointment is logged against it, the management report can show cost per lead and cost per appointment by channel over a quarter, which is the only honest way to compare a search campaign with a streaming flight or a mailing. A store that keeps its channels in separate systems never gets that comparison, and usually keeps paying for the one with the loudest sales rep.

For an agency running event marketing for dealership clients, a mobile billboard is a tangible piece the dealer can see driving past, and connecting the store's LeadLocate CRM shows the event weekend's traffic and searches that followed it.

Agencies are how most stores buy LED Truck Media, and LeadLocate treats the agency as part of the store's team. An agency user can manage the campaigns in Leads Manager, hold the platform accounts in its own name and connect them, pull the same reporting the dealership sees, and use the webXintel Ads Network as a lead source for clients that want results before they want a media plan. What the agency gains is the piece it typically lacks: the CRM, the distribution rules, the texting and calling, the follow up processes, all of it visible so the agency can show the store what happened after the click. Agencies that bring dealerships onto the platform can enroll in the referral program. See dealership-campaign-management-softwareL for how the agency side works.

Geography is the first setting on every LeadLocate campaign, and it is yours. Draw the zone you sell in with the zone editor in Leads Manager, a radius, a list of counties or a state, and LED Truck Media placements are bought for that zone and nothing outside it. Brokers who sell to the whole country set the whole country; a group draws one zone per rooftop and the reporting comes back the same way, so a regional manager can see which store's market answered. Financing audiences stay inside fair lending rules on every channel: Leads Manager keeps them from being narrowed by age, gender, income, marital status, household size, education, language or ZIP, with locked controls, so a store is protected without thinking about it. Everything else, the vehicles, the message, the radius, is open.

The setup cost of LED Truck Media, in your time, is a click. The Advertising Networks page in the CRM lists it beside every other channel; Request Connection opens a support request our team works, usually the same day. Stores that are new to LeadLocate choose a plan on the pricing page, month to month with no long term contract, and start with the webXintel Ads Network the same week. Media bought through a LED Truck Media account in your name is billed by LED Truck Media directly to you. Your existing CRM, if you have one, keeps receiving leads through Instant Push by ADF, and the price does not change for that.

From there it is a conversation, not a contract. Our team confirms the zone and the selections, says plainly what LED Truck Media is likely to do for a store of your size, and agrees a review date. If the reporting shows LED Truck Media earning its budget, it stays; if it does not, it is switched off from the same page, the store keeps every lead and record it produced, and the budget moves to a channel that did better in the same report.

How is a mobile billboard booked?

By the day or the weekend, with the route, the events and the hours set by the store, and tracking that shows where the truck went. Our team arranges it for the store's market and dates on request.

Can the truck park outside a competitor's sale?

On public roads and in permitted locations, yes, and conquest routes past competing lots are a common use. Local rules on parking and idling apply, and the operator handles them.

How is a mobile billboard measured?

By event traffic logged with the source, branded search that weekend, scans of a code on the screen and calls to the number shown, read over the days the truck ran.

Can my dealership buy LED Truck Media directly?

Yes, through LeadLocate. LED Truck Media is sold through buying platforms and media partners, so you request it from the Advertising Networks page in the CRM and our team arranges the placement in your dealership's name. If your agency already has a seat on a platform that carries LED Truck Media, we work through that.

Can LED Truck Media leads go into the CRM we already use?

Yes. Instant Push forwards every lead to your existing CRM by ADF as it arrives, source and campaign included, and the subscription price does not change for it.

What does LeadLocate charge for LED Truck Media?

The platform is a month to month subscription with no long term contract, priced on the pricing page, and every plan includes the webXintel Ads Network. The media itself is billed for the placement our team arranges, in your dealership's name. We never tie the price to a result.

One more channel, no new login, no new report. Ask for LED Truck Media inside the CRM or talk to a lead specialist about which channels fit your store first.
