That Chinese RAAS looks pretty good!

The first one came out the best.
cool technology, the future will be interesting.

aside: Actors are going to be just face models and then those jobs will be gone too.

70% of your shopper's VDP time is spent looking at photos.
Reymore.com had shoppers click 160,000 VDP pics in the last 30 days.


SEMD team built me a dashboard of 'total photos seen daily'*. Every am, I ck it for insights into shopper demand.

The business narrative from my seat:
Reymore is having a record breaking sales month, but, the 30 day trend of photos viewed is trending down. If total photos viewed and sales are correlated, the down trend indicates we 'may' see a soft end to this month.

Cody over at SEMD was deep diving total # of photos viewed per VIN and he found a high correlation of sold vehicles and high photo counts.

Case in point:
Reymore avgs 28 photos viewed p/VIN per day.
This 2021 Lincoln Corsair is 16 days old and is averaging 116 photos viewed per day.



Lincoln is a tough sell these days -AND- its off-brand for this Chevy store. Shoppers like this one, it's looking strong so far.

How are they tracking this on a per VIN level basis?

BOOM!
You can't make this sh*t up. This sold late yesterday.

How are they tracking this on a per VIN level basis?

You can easily do it in a GA4 Exploration Report or Looker Studio as long as you have ASC events firing.

@Ryan Everson thank you!!

Update: Use AI to use dealer's VDP photo to create video

Jaw Dropping Quality.

AutoMagic Labs mission, trying to stay at the tip of the spear.

Over all, I agree that this is going to be cool stuff but

Ai video reminds me of the transformers. street lights turning into robots and stuff.
Or the recent presidential candidate splitting in 2.

I look forward to the progression we will see over the next few years.
