Quick answer
Car dealers get leads on Telegram by advertising specific vehicles with price and key specs, and sending clicks to a bot that books a test drive or a call in under a minute. An inventory channel keeps buyers watching new arrivals, while service departments can promote maintenance slots locally. Measure cost per qualified lead and cost per showroom visit rather than clicks. Adsun lets automotive businesses test Telegram campaigns by country and placement with a USDT budget.
Key takeaways
- Advertise specific cars, not the dealership.
- Book test drives through a bot.
- State financing terms accurately.
- Measure showroom visits and sales.
Why Telegram works for cars
In many markets, car buyers follow dealer and marketplace channels for new arrivals and price drops. A bot lets them ask questions and book a visit instantly, which shortens a long buying cycle.
Creatives that bring leads
- Real photos of the actual vehicle in stock.
- Price, year, mileage and key features.
- Short walk-around video.
- One clear action: book a test drive.
Lead bot flow
- Ask preferred model, budget and timing.
- Offer test-drive slots or a callback.
- Share location and opening hours.
- Hand over to a sales manager instantly.
Compliance and measurement
Present financing and prices with required disclosures, and avoid bait pricing. Track cost per lead, show rate and cost per sale.

Metric definitions and formulas
- CPM
- Cost per mille: what an advertiser pays for 1,000 ad impressions.
CPM = (Ad spend ÷ Impressions) × 1,000 - CPC
- Cost per click: average price an advertiser pays for one click.
CPC = Ad spend ÷ Clicks - CTR
- Click-through rate: the share of impressions that produced a click.
CTR = (Clicks ÷ Impressions) × 100% - eCPM
- Effective CPM: what a publisher earns per 1,000 impressions, whatever the pricing model.
eCPM = (Publisher earnings ÷ Impressions) × 1,000 - Fill rate
- The share of ad requests that returned an ad.
Fill rate = (Filled ad requests ÷ Total ad requests) × 100%

Worked example
Hypothetical example — not real Adsun data
An advertiser tests $200 across 2 countries at a $0.05 CPC = 4,000 clicks; 45% reach the destination = 1,800 visitors; 4% convert = 72 orders or leads at ≈ $2.78 each. Replace every figure with your own data.
Adsun measurement methodology
Adsun counts an impression when an ad is rendered in a publisher block, a click when the user opens the ad destination, and a reward only after the server-to-server Reward URL confirms completion. Debug-mode traffic is excluded from billing and reports. Metrics are shown per platform, block and country in the partner and advertiser dashboards. Adsun does not publish aggregate network benchmarks in this guide; any number below marked “Hypothetical” is illustrative only. See the SDK documentation for integration details.
