Car Dealership lighting

Customers expect internal features and aesthetical features from a car. Being a Car Dealer, you cannot affect the internal features of the car but, the Car Dealership’s lighting can affect the aesthetical features of the car and will help you to provide a premium experience to your customers.

Does lighting affect your sales and customer experience?

A poorly lit car showroom will have a direct impact on sales. All that effort to make the car look aesthetically nice and high-end, will not show up in a dimly lit car showroom. Poorly lit car showrooms and parking lots wont be appealing to a customer. Therefore, the sales representative will have a hard time convincing the buyer to make a sale.
