About Nissan

Nissan is one of the world’s most innovative car manufacturing brands, offering a wide spectrum of vehicles, ranging from family-friendly cars like the Nissan Versa to the beastly 591-horse-powered Nissan GTR and the world’s best-selling electric vehicle Nissan LEAF.

Why Insider One?

Nissan chose Insider One for its advanced website personalization capabilities. Having seen Insider One’s impressive track record in driving results in the automotive industry, including working with globally renowned brands such as Toyota, Lexus, Peugeot, and Hyundai, Nissan was keen to leverage Insider One’s powerful platform to help improve key metrics.

USE CASE #1

Increasing test drive bookings by 53.6% with exit intent overlays

The challenge

In the automotive industry, applying for a test drive is one of the most crucial steps in a customer’s journey; an indication that the prospect has the intent to buy a car. For automotive brands, the vast majority of cars are sold via in-store visits compared to other channels like email, phone calls, and more. Therefore, getting a prospect to sign up for a test drive can significantly improve a brand’s overall conversion rate by directly impacting car sales numbers. With this in mind, the marketing team at Nissan was looking to increase the number of test drive applications for the cars listed on its website.

The solution

Nissan leveraged the power of Insider One’s personalization suite to run a variety of experiments aimed at increasing test drive applications. The marketing team created a segment of customers with a higher chance of signing up for a test drive. This smart segment was created after defining a variety of qualifiers like the number of pages visited, type of pages visited, duration of sessions, number of sessions and more. They also targeted based on other behavioral traits, such as cursor location on the page, scroll location, and more.

If the visitor showed such behavior, an exit intent overlay was shown for prospects to leave their information to receive an email or a callback about the car they’d been looking at. Nissan representatives would then contact prospects to schedule test drives.

“The exit intent template was simple to set up on our website, and we used Insider One’s intuitive drag-and-drop editor to ensure it was perfectly Nissan-branded. Insider One’s templates are a gold mine, making it so easy to launch new initiatives quickly. And these campaigns have a massive impact on our key metrics: a 53.6% increase in bookings to be exact!”
