    How's your Tax Season panning out?

    Exactly what we're seeing. Especially on the franchise side - lots of subprime & nobody willing to approve these deals. Not saying it's gridlocked, but tax season is a little different this year, compared to 2022.

    How's your Tax Season panning out?

    Lot of dealerships we're talking with are seeing a total repeat of last year. Tax season cars just aren't selling, and for those that are selling they're finding it hard to acquire inventory. Not to mention, banks tightening their belts & subprime loans simply not being approved like they were...

    Are Dealerships looking to increase sales anymore?

    With the current state of the industry, I’ve been seeing dealerships concentrate less on sales, and more on filling their inventory. What are your thoughts on this?

    If everything shut down again tomorrow

    I don't mean to ignore the realities of a pandemic, but I can't say I've ever been invested into the fear. Truth of the matter is, there's a multitude of vaccines that are ready to be administered, and it's only a matter of time before the public receive their first round. Economically...

    Witness - The Worst Tactic Ever

    Have more than a few dealer clients who don't list sale prices online - just the expected monthly payment, or something along those lines. I don't want to sound silly, but I think this problem starts with Car Classifieds like Autotrader, CarGurus, and other platforms alike. What I mean by that...

    Deals4Dealers I'm giving it all away!

    Jeff, I'm just looking to help the community. Especially during times like these where car sales are challenging. This course is basic, but enough to teach the most uninformed person how to run Facebook Advertisements as a dealer. I don't know how much longer I can keep this up for free. hahah

    FACEBOOK AUDIENCE QUESTION

    Few key points I want to build on: #1: If you're running advertisements soliciting loan opportunities of any sort. Whether it is for a home, car, or motorcycle. You need to run in the Special Ads Category. Which will limit the type of audience filtering you can perform, but will prevent any ad...

    Advertising, SEM, Display, Facebook - and FEES - do you check what is contracted?

    Ahhh, I agree completely. No agency should hold a dealers data HOSTAGE? That's ridiculous. If you're paying for the data, you're entitled to it. Whether that's supplying you the ad account, or passing the pixel data along to your business manager account. That's why we exclusively run our ads...

    Advertising, SEM, Display, Facebook - and FEES - do you check what is contracted?

    Few things I want to brush up on. #1: 15 Mile Targeting Radius Minimum through Facebook Ads, as a dealership. You can't target anything under 15 miles when running ads as a car dealership. Facebook used to allow advertisers to hyper-target communities predominant of a certain race and...

    Collect Car Buyer Leads CHEAPLY & EFFECTIVELY!

    You could send people directly to a short form or funnel via carousel ad. Where you send people is highly configurable through the Facebook Ads Manager. The only issue would be sending leads to the CRM in XML/ADF format. Which is a solution we've developed in-house... Might have to port a...
