Total Cost Estimate for a Car Dealership in New Zealand

A typical car dealership in New Zealand with 500 active customers would spend approximately:

  • Platform fee: $29–$99/month (depending on plan)
  • WhatsApp conversation fees: ~$5–$20/month (at $0.01 per conversation)
  • Total: $34–$119/month

With 2.7× more test drive bookings and 52% service recall rate typically delivered, the ROI becomes positive within the first month for most car dealerships.

ROI Calculator for Car Dealerships

Here's how to calculate your expected ROI from WhatsApp Marketing Platform:

  1. Take your average customer transaction value
  2. Estimate how many additional visits/bookings per month the automation will generate (typically 15–30% of your contact list)
  3. Multiply by your transaction value to get monthly additional revenue
  4. Subtract the platform cost to get net ROI

Example: A car dealership with 500 customers, $50 average transaction, recovering 15% of dormant customers = 75 transactions × $50 = $3,750 additional monthly revenue, minus $99/month platform cost = $3,651 net profit per month.
