    It's just habit to check in a couple times a week. Think I found you guys around 2008. Connected me with a lot of people early on. Thanks Jeff / Alex.

    Watch fanatics? Rolex, Omega, Tudor, Casio (the God Watch)

    Hessalite. Not savvy enough to explain why I chose that vs sapphire. A few watch nerds told me to go this route. If I end up scratching it up, I think the replacements are $100. Got one of the last 311.30.42.30.01.005 for a couple of grand less than the one released this year.

    Watch fanatics? Rolex, Omega, Tudor, Casio (the God Watch)

    I was planning on getting a Rolex for my 40th bday (past May). Didn't realize how insane that game is now. Never mind the inventory shortage in the auto biz, Rolex AD's literally have empty shelves. Most Rolex are going for 2x / 3x the retail price in the grey market. Long story short. You...

    Glut of Cars Incoming!

    Hey Alex - Great post. For GM dealers (I'm one), if this year we only receive trucks and FFSUV(Tahoe, Yukon) we will be good to go! The backlog and demand for these models will not be filled in 2021. Now if GM decides to flood us with Malibu and Trax... we have a problem. The manufacturers...

    Are Dealerships looking to increase sales anymore?

    Social Media, does the bad outweigh the good?

    I think this is my favourite (yes that's how we spell it in Canada) post of 2021. I had posted something similar on LinkedIn a few months ago when I couldn't take the sh*t talk anymore. Since the pandemic, I've noticed MANY industry folks talking smack about how they turned their dealerships...

    Aspiring Automotive inventory photographer

    Hey Eric. Welcome to Dealer Refresh. The photos look great! One thing to think about is will you: a) take photos b) take photos AND upload them to a dealers website or inventory management My advice is to figure out a model for "b". Most dealers want quality photos and to outsource the...

    FACEBOOK AUDIENCE QUESTION

    Think the special interest ads are only necessary for the U.S.A? Just haven't heard much about it here in the great white north.

    FACEBOOK AUDIENCE QUESTION

    Thanks, John. We do barely any special finance and was not using FB to leverage subprime leads (I know that is a big play for a lot of dealers with FB). So I don't think we would fall into the category of getting banned. We are using warm audiences for retargeting etc but I am doing some...

    FACEBOOK AUDIENCE QUESTION

    Hey Gang, I've been spending a lot of time learning about Facebook / Insta ads and specifically FB Custom Audiences. I have a question that I think I know the answer to... but wanted to bounce it off refresh nation. Below is a screenshot from FB Business Manager "Audiences". My store...

    DealerAuthority Why Dealerships Who Pay for SEO Services are More Satisfied

    That's a good point Jeff! I've made the blogging / SEO my side project for the last 6 months. I'm still learning the ins and outs. However, I've got quite excited when a certain post "ranks" and the traffic starts flowing. Then I say to myself.... "we didn't actually sell any more Denali's...

    My favorite FREE app/software for VIDEO EMAILS

    Hey Refresh Nation, Hope everyone is well. I had to share this tool with everyone as I believe there is no better FREE option out there for sending video email. It's called LOOM (not Zoom). I initially used if for screen recording and explainer style videos. They have an app that I just...
