Black Friday & Today & November

Good month here and a strong Black Friday. We did an e-mail blast with a trade in bonus and some other goodies encouraging people to skip saving $20 at target or $100 on that new TV and save thousands with us. Had a packed showroom and rolled about 15 which is a big day for my little Ford store.

We have doubled last months numbers in volume and in gross and picking up momentum. My store has a 3rd week lull every month and we are going to try to off set it by doing a crazy email blast and some other multi level marketing.
 

✨ AI Highlights

  • A Ford dealership owner shares strong November results driven by a successful Black Friday email campaign promoting trade-in bonuses, while another dealer reports the opposite—solid overall month but disappointing performance yesterday and today compared to last year.
  • The successful dealer attributes their 15-unit day and doubled monthly numbers to targeted email marketing and multi-channel promotions that positioned vehicle savings against consumer retail spending.
  • The key insight is that strategic promotional campaigns and email blasts can significantly drive showroom traffic and sales during seasonal peaks, though results appear inconsistent across dealers.
