Mahindra sought to improve test ride bookings for its dealers but faced challenges in obtaining high-quality leads from third-party portals. These sources failed to deliver conversions, and the cost per lead remained high due to fixed monthly packages. A customized digital marketing approach was needed to enhance lead quality and optimize ad spend.
Challenge Faced
- Low-Quality Leads from Third-Party Portals – Existing sources did not generate actionable inquiries.
- High Cost per Lead – Fixed monthly packages increased marketing expenses without assured ROI.

1. Hyper-Targeted Facebook Ad Campaigns

- Integrated behavioral analytics to filter out low-intent users and prioritize qualified leads.
3. Optimized Budget Allocation & Performance Tracking
