Are Car Dealers really Gambling on Adwords

Are Car Dealers really Gambling on Adwords

  I’ve read from a few sources in the last week that industry insiders believe that car dealers are investing heavily in Google adwords, because of this Key words are achieving high prices and car dealers are effectively bidding each other up. Adwords is an advertising program on google where you effectively buy “keywords” ie the search terms that get entered into the search box. If you pay the right price for the right words then your company will pop up in front of peoples screens when they perform a search. You buy these keywords by bidding. It’s a … Continue reading →

What are Tesco bringing to the party

What are Tesco bringing to the party

Tesco cars were launched last month. It was hardly a massive global launch; In fact low key would be my appraisal. To be honest if I wasn’t in the trade I am fairly sure I wouldn’t be aware of it.  Tesco’s investment here has been in the greater scheme of things modest. I am sure they are very realistic as to the amount of market share they can hope to capture and by when.  But let’s be honest here, Tesco sell everything, cars are just another link in the retail chain. If you can sell a car you have … Continue reading →

Why did Autoquake fail ?

Why did Autoquake fail ?

There were rumblings in the trade since February that Autoquake were struggling. They have subsequently gone into Administration, and what was worth salvaging was last week purchased for £350,000 from the receiver by Carshop.  Who are one of the companies in the trade that appear to be getting stronger through good practise. So What could have gone wrong ?   I remember the first time I came across Autoquake, I believe it would have been about 2004/05.  All I know is I found three of my sales staff huddled around a computer looking at Autoquake listings on eBay. It would … Continue reading →
