How to Influence Your Customers Through Color





 

There has been a lot of research done on the use of color in marketing. Similar to how choosing the proper hue gives a space in your home a particular “feel,” choosing the right color for an advertisement can evoke various emotions in customers. This implies that for dealerships, the color schemes you utilize in the photographs you use might have a big impact.

You may utilize color effectively to create and share images for your dealership that are vibrant and impressionistic, whether they are for social media or your website. Think about a Camaro that is black and lime green. The black Camaro is perhaps more popular with consumers than the lime green one. The black Camaro is likely to conjure images of a sleek, seductive, and fun-to-drive vehicle. It’s likely that seeing the lime green Camaro will make you feel uneasy, distant, and like you want to turn away. Before choosing to use a specific color in your online approach, think about some of the emotions that go along with it.

While adopting a “friendly” or “inspirational” color may seem obvious, dealerships frequently forget about it when posting photographs on social media or their websites. Here is a list of common hues and the feelings they arouse:

* Purple is a calming color

* Pink connotes romance and femininity.

* Yellow denotes optimism and youth

* Black is a strong and slick color.

* Orange denotes aggression

* Green indicates prosperity and comfort.

* Blue denotes safety and trust.

* Red indicates vigor and intensity.

Understanding your target audience and their objectives is the only reason for using these colors. Consider your target audience carefully. Are classic cars your dealership’s main focus? Or does it deal with used automobiles the most? You can use these straightforward questions to guide your choice of website structure’s style and color palette.

While a dealer will probably highlight a vehicle when adding a photograph, this isn’t the only instance of color usage in a post. Colors can be utilized as design elements, text color blocking, and website backgrounds. This is just a suggestion that you consider the emotions of your target audience before choosing your color scheme, not that some hues are beyond bounds.

This is just one aspect of improving your web visibility. There are numerous approaches to doing this, but if you’re very interested in doing it, keep in mind that it’s a continuous process that calls for watchfulness. The majority of dealerships fall short of this standard in the realm of social media. When the proper color scheme is used on social media, it can help your dealership in a variety of ways.
