High-quality vehicle images are essential for online sales. Poor or inconsistent photos can turn potential buyers away. Izzy Alpert, CEO of EZ360, shares how dealerships can use AI-powered photography and automated photo studios to improve their photography process, save time, and cut costs.
Outdoor AI-Powered Photography: A Flexible, Cost-Effective Option
For smaller dealerships with lower vehicle inventory, outdoor AI-powered photography is a more affordable option. It uses AI to process and enhance photos, delivering professional results without the need for a studio. This solution costs about $5 per vehicle, with subscription fees ranging from $495 to $995 per month.
“If your volume is under 70 cars a month, stick to the manual process. You can handle it with one or two people,” says Izzy.
Automated Photo Studios: A Solution for High-Volume Dealerships
For larger dealerships selling over 100 cars a month, automated photo studios offer faster, more consistent results. While the initial investment is higher ($50,000 – $70,000), the long-term savings and efficiency make it worthwhile. Cars move directly from detailing to photography, ensuring a quick turnaround and consistent, high-quality images.
“At a certain point, you need to view this as an investment in your process,” Izzy explains.
The photo studio is simple to operate and doesn’t require specialized staff. The same person handling detailing can operate the studio, further cutting costs.
Which Option Is Right for Your Dealership?
- Smaller Dealerships: AI-powered photography is ideal for lower-volume sales, offering flexibility and lower cost.
- Larger Dealerships: Automated photo studios provide faster turnaround, more consistency, and long-term cost savings.
“Every car should have consistent, high-quality photos. It’s all about streamlining the process,” says Izzy.
