Used Vehicle Backgrounds

Does anyone know of a company that you can use for standard used vehicle backgrounds (eg white so it looks like you’re using a studio)? Have you noticed an increase in VDP’s as a result? We have absolutely no space for a studio. The one company I have contacted is CGI backgrounds. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hey Chis

Have you considered branding instead of setting up a studio?

A lot of dealerships spend a lot of money trying to figure out a way to make the pictures look nice, instead if you were to just add your dealership's logo, contact number and website, it is just as good. It also helps visitors to visually relate to your business on sites like cars.com and autotrader.com where there is always a competitive listing next to yours

Hope this helps

George,

They are the largest company, but not necessarily the best or only one. I would challenge any dealership to compare our staff to their staff, and our photography to their photography. DeliveryMaxx has two programs. We can do a turn-key photography program, or DeliveryMaxx can insert inventory photography into any background a dealership would like to choose. We do this within 24 hours, and the photos look great as well as real. For example, if a dealership would like all of their vehicles staged in front of the dealership on a bright sunny day (or the city skyline) we can do it. Individuals within our company spend all day doing this for many dealers and take pride when the dealer sells the car faster and for more gross! Google DeliveryMaxx and check us out for yourself or email me at jschaefer@deliverymaxx.com for more information. Because we are a smaller company, we customize all of our programs to meet the dealerships needs. I just wanted to get our name out there for you.

Having 'grown up' in the Midwest auto industry, these past two weeks in New York have shown me two things: dealerships everywhere face the same issues and the environments we are located within force us to adapt and be more creative in certain areas.

In the "space" arena, New York City and Long Island dealers are the experts in using space effectively. As such, the companies that help them solve their space issues are experts as well.

Nexteppe has a product called "Pro Shots," which is used by the largest Hyundai dealer in the world; Atlantic Hyundai. Atlantic Auto Group has 21 extremely high volume dealers in NY and they have a lot of choices with this kind of buying power. They use Nexteppe's Pro Shots product.

The organization I have been working with, Long Island City Auto Group also uses Pro Shots with great success. These dealers have absolutely no space to have a studio and the vehicles are so close together and buildings so tight that the backgrounds can be extremely unattractive. Therefore, these dealers have been removing backgrounds for a much longer time than most of the country due to necessity. Tried and tested by the best. I have to point to http://www.nexteppe.com/proshots.aspx as a resource to assist you.

They have many more backgrounds than this page shows, so get in touch with Nexteppe. I'm sure they can send you the other backgrounds and competitive pricing.

We offer professional and creative background images for dealerships with fast turnaround time and competitive pricing. Many of our dealerships choose only to background the first image, however we can handle all exterior images. You dont even have to be an AutoUpLinkUSA client for us to set you up with our service. Most dealerships choose to have an actual image of their dealership used as the background, but we can perform most any sort of backgrounds, from having Jeep's on the beach, SUV's by the mountains and luxury cars in front of Tuscan villas. We always joke that as long as it is not illegal or immoral we can set it up as a background. If you would like more information, samples, and pricing, please contact us at sales@autouplinkpa.com or (888) 399-0329. We will even be happy to work with your inventory photographer on how to best image your vehicles so that your background images can look the best possible to stand out to consumers online. We look forward to hearing from you.
