Next Free ARTS Webinar Set for Tuesday
The latest installment of the Auto Remarketing Training Series — a free webinar featuring experts from Automotive Internet Media (AIM) and Manheim — is set to give dealers another round of training they need to make better inventory decision to improve sales and gross profit.
The upcoming free webinar is scheduled for 2 p.m. ET on Tuesday. Dealers and their staffs can sign up for this free session by completing this simple registration.
The next ARTS session will include:
— Tony French, who heads up AIM’s CarClicks
“Everybody knows the Internet is a great place to market your inventory, but are you getting enough real buyers to consider your vehicles? You’ve acquired the inventory and have spent time and money on reconditioning. You’ve taken great photos, priced them competitively and written a very compelling description. All you need is more customers,” French said.
“We’ll talk about how you can get auto shoppers who live in your market to actually consider and buy your inventory.”
— Chris Hill, manager of customer education at Manheim’s The Wholesale Institute
Manheim reported earlier this week that wholesale used-vehicle prices (on a mix-, mileage- and seasonally adjusted basis) declined 0.7 percent in August. This was the fourth consecutive monthly decline and brought the August Manheim Used Vehicle Value Index reading to 121.8, down 0.4 percent from a year ago.
Manheim explained the recent downward movement in wholesale pricing reflects three elements, including a reversion to trend levels after an extended period of exceptionally strong pricing, increased wholesale supplies and in recent months, moderating retail demand.
Hill will highlight the tools Manheim has available to help dealers find inventory that will turn quickly and for enhanced profits.
