I'm not sure...   could this be the end of "Just get 'em in?"  That'd be a pretty big change.


I never thought Digital Retailing was a technology (I was delivering cars to homes & businesses in the 90's). DR has always been an attitude... a culture.


Forget about the dealers... think about the consumer. Consumers have been 95% complicit in Just Get 'em In; dealers could get away with Just Get 'em In because they could... the consumers would ultimately come in.


What if consumers won't do that anymore? For the first time ever, I just called a health care facility to ask if I could get what I need without being there in-person. I imagine there are and very well will continue to be a lot of those kinds of calls in all kinds of verticals.


It's the consumer who holds the cards...
