In a perfect scenario, what data should we include for creating a new car stocking strategy. This is the tough part in my opinion.


Is the past 12 months of sales an indicator of what will sell in the future? Maybe, maybe not.

What about VDP counts on your website? maybe, maybe not.

What about past XXX amount of days of market sales in your area?

What about search demand from classified sites?

What about taking into account over or under supply of a model / trim, etc. in a market to either chase volume or fill a supply gap?


Am I overthinking it? Maybe, maybe not.. haha
