The development of the digital economy is driving a comprehensive digital transformation of the Chinese economy. Digital marketing pinpoints customer needs in terms of both technology and interaction, enhances the interactive experience, and influences consumers' willingness to buy. Digital marketing can increase customer acquisition, improve user experience, increase sales viscosity and expand sales segments at a lower cost. Under the wave of digital technology empowering the traditional industry, the marketing approach of the auto show industry has changed from being based on traditional media promotional tools to being based on new media matrices in an attempt to maximize the matching of customer needs and increase the sales conversion rate of potential customers. This paper attempts to answer the following two questions: first, whether the level of digital marketing in auto shows can effectively increase car sales; second, if the level of digital marketing in auto shows has a significant positive impact on increasing car sales in auto shows, what is the intrinsic impact mechanism. Company X is one of the first leading exhibition companies in the exhibition industry to embrace the Internet economy and seek digital transformation. This paper utilizes Company X's auto show sales data and rating data on auto show digital marketing to construct a panel regression model and a moderated utility model for empirical testing, and the results show that the level of digital marketing at auto shows can effectively enhance car sales, attract more customers and improve sales conversion rates, but with regional heterogeneity. Next, for the intrinsic influence mechanism, this paper utilizes the evaluation data of consumers' interactive experience and perceived value of auto shows collected by questionnaires to construct the Tobit regression model for empirical testing, and the results show that the online interactive features of digital marketing of auto shows enhance the customers' purchasing intention by enhancing the users' perceived value, which ultimately translates into the enhancement of auto sales in auto shows. With the gradual penetration of digital technology into all aspects of people's lives, digital marketing for auto shows may give rise to new forms in the future.
