Edmunds App Features Entertaining and Compelling Content Taking Car Shopping from Transactional to Experiential
SANTA MONICA, Calif., Oct. 27, 2015 — (PRNewswire) — Car shopping destination Edmunds.com today announced Edmunds TV, one of the first apps for the new Apple TV to bring exclusive industry-leading automotive content into the living room. With over 60 percent of car shoppers using video content as a research tool before making a car purchase1, Edmunds TV is enhancing its car review, road test, consumer advice and behind-the-scenes videos by displaying it through the high-definition features of Apple TV to take the car shopping process from transactional to experiential.
"As consumers spend more time researching cars and watching automotive video content, we saw an opportunity to create a car shopping experience that extends to multiple consumer touchpoints on desktop, mobile and TV screens," said Stephen Gandee, vice president of product design and advertising at Edmunds.com. "With Edmunds TV, we're infusing car shopping into more aspects of everyday life, making it an inclusive experience that can be enjoyed and shared by both the future driver and passenger."
Edmunds.com is one of the most robust resources for automotive and car shopping information, attracting nearly 20 million visitors each month. By extending this content to televisions, Edmunds adds a critical medium to reach more consumers at all points in their journey, whether it's providing inspiration, helping to narrow down choices or even leading to a dealership visit.
The Edmunds TV app for Apple TV will be available when the device launches at the end of this month. For more information, please visit: http://www.edmunds.com/mobile/featured.html.
