    Shared Used Car Inventory! Who should get the lead?

    I've been at stores that had issues, and ones that don't. Shared inventory, lead at multiple rooftops with appointments? Whoever has the first appointment gets the car first. Have a standardized cost directive, $X below selling price for cars with $Y profit, otherwise, at selling price. If...

    Shared Used Car Inventory! Who should get the lead?

    User Experience. If you can make it as easy as possible for the end user to find a vehicle they want, if they trust dealer A, and don't know the other stores, but see the other inventory on Dealer A's site, wouldn't that make it worth it?

    Another digital marketing attribution metric bites the dust

    Just means more custom pages will need to be created, one for each campaign. Not as easy as UTM tagging, but can't be stripped.

    Anybody own a tow truck? Does it affect your insurance?

    Don't know about insurance, but I know the monthly fee charged to service isn't a little amount.

    Any dealers CONSIDERING the vehicle WRAP business?

    Plus, the equipment requirements to do a full color print wrap vs solid color vs window tint are vastly different in pricing & required time usage (if you don't use a full color wrap printer on a regular basis, the color cartridges go bad).

    WTH Dealer Socket - We're Done!

    I was a huge fan of XRM prior to their AutoLoop acquisition. have not been able to use them again, but would have them on my radar, if I had a CRM change to consider.

    Creative use of Car Pics.

    Have you seen the graphic for Product Detail Page lengths for items such as a TV, and automotive, Best Buy vs a standard dealer site? It is incredible the amount of data that is published for a relatively minor large purchase, and bereft of extensive data for such a major purchase.

    Audi Huntsville TikTok and IG Reels are GREAT

    Their Why Salesman Suck series are too close to home for some stores, I am sure. Pure Gold!

    I don't mind assisting, as long as you'd be willing to share the preset.

    Less than 35 new cars in stock... SHIFTING!!!

    That's exactly what I already see happening. Stellanis is such a fan of losing money, they are already selling below invoice for the lots full of cars. It just takes some intestinal fortitude to work out COVID era inventory controls, rather than flood lots & play the rebate game.

    Less than 35 new cars in stock... SHIFTING!!!

    Producing an adequate volume of inventory (collusion?) vs over producing, and initiating another race to the bottom (illogical, but prevalent strategy) seem like they would be two sides of the same coin. Market Share driven strategies, versus healthy production volumes, seems to hurt more than...

    Fire the Used Car Manager?

    It's an add-on for vAuto, that calculates what vehicles you should try and dump right away, and what you should try and hold onto, to make some money with.

    Shame manufacturers don't follow the DeBeers philosophy, control the supply, and live off the demand.

    The other thing that helps is making large soft boxes, to help diffuse the light.

    Nice to meet you! I utilized Zenfolio a LOT, when I was shooting regularly, helped streamline he sales side of the process. Makes perfect sense to me, didn't want to assume it was illustrative only, as I am sure we have all seen those who don't see IQ as an important thing, and add a pile of...

    Problem with just playing with sliders is the noise that comes with it, and image quality degradation. Granted, you are working with a web reduced image, versus a straight OOC (out of camera) image - if you had a higher res photo to start with,there is definitely data saved in there that could...

    Photo Booth Services

    360 booth looks amazing, have been following them since Digital Dealer many, many years ago. Haven't been able to implement it, would be my #1 choice, if I get the room/funds for one, unless I hear of better options at that time.
