What would happen if you stopped all the marketing you’re currently doing for your dealership? I mean, if you stopped your paid search ads, your Google Adwords ads, your Facebook ads, and any print, radio, TV or direct mail. What would be left about your dealership on the Web or in the real world to help you generate leads and capture prospects attention?

Sounds like a weird question, but it’s an important one you should ask yourself every month if you don’t want to be playing snakes and ladders with your dealership’s marketing. Remember the game?
