Is There Hope For The Car Industry?  An Economic Prediction Assessment?

Expert In the Car Industry, Sandy Cerami’s Economic Prediction Suggesting More Pivots Are Needed

Technical digital marketing advances are on the horizon offering a faster, more efficient and more effective way to do business.  World Class Car Industry Consultant, Mr. Sandy Cerami talks of the economic prediction of a  “bubble” that is on the verge of busting to the point where the result on humans could be economic hardships that have never been experienced before in history.  Can digital marketing strategy and tools come to the rescue?

Mr. Cerami is one of the most respected leader's in the Car Industry who has been quoted saying,

“The Car Industry Dealerships are particularly exposed to many of the dynamic fiscal influence such as claim logistics, raw materials procurement and cost, as well as the erratic fluctuation in the exchange rates of Global currencies during crisis.  Without a strategy the focus of expense reduction and control asset levering/return on investment (ROI) and associate and client satisfaction, many businesses will stumble, or even worse, fail due to a lack of strategic planning and tactical execution.”


Access to Sandy's Economic Prediction

What is on the horizon, that might need to be forced into human society is the Blockchain for instance, to secure and speed up transactions which is still a slow process.  For the Car Industry, his could solve some serious problems and be the solution with the slow transfer speed of money, to and from, countries like Japan for example.  In the Pre-Covid World, home schooling via a Zoom call was unthinkable.  That way this economic prediction conversation must be brought into the light and discussed as Society, as a whole proved it could adjust in some pockets rather quickly when forced.  Many in the Car Industry are not leaders and are grounded in the presents and past, executing on what they know worked and are doomed to be pasted by, brought and or die.  A recent conversation on Clubhouse had one leader, in the Car Industry, wanting to learn more about this economic prediction as he said, “I’d rather fix my roof while the Sun is still shining.”

Certain tools and strategies are available that are not house-hold names, yet.  Some of these digital marketing solutions are being shut out at this time due to the slipping grip of how things used to be, but are that are now obsolete and some leaders just don’t know it or are purposely ignoring what is right in front of them.  

I know exactly what my late Father, Jim Larkin meant when he used to say, "Ignorance is bliss." 

The tools of the future are just about to take over as soon as the bubble pops.  At least in the Car Industry.  

Continue reading as I’ll reveal added economic prediction strategies and tools that can go right along with Mr. Cerami’s list of 7 Strategies.

Click To Learn More


While I believe the economic prediction of Mr. Cerami’s economic bubble bursting is imminent for the Car Industry, the question now is, “How do businesses, heck, how do entire industries like the Car Industry begin to protect themselves, not later but right now?”

Whether you look to the past or to the future, change is coming, that is a certainty.  That is why economic prediction alerts like Mr. Cerami’s are vitally important.  Mr. Cerami’s latest paper, “7 Strategic Solutions: Profit Drivers & Expense Killers,” asks 3 Critical Questions aimed to leaders in the Car Industry.  I’ll address each question separately:        

  1.  “How can we maximize current assets to increase their ROI and value, as well as reduce tax liabilities and create more sustainable net profitability?”

Following the timeline, going back 100 years, there has been one consistent action that has, not only saved companies, but made them house-hold names after economic downturns.  As a Digital Marketer for over two decades I can’t believe I’m revealing this fact, but during crisis, data is not King.  Business leaders look to their top accountants in order to decide what departments to cut in order to keep the business alive.  The accountants see the Sales Department as an asset as they account for the rise in the companies revenue.  They would never suggest cutting into a Department that is making money.  That same accounting assessment sees the Marketing Department as an expense.  Then, the Accounting Department reports back to the company leadership with their findings and thus the Marketing Department has got to be cut.  Their economic prediction is based purely of the data.  As you will see, history has proven this to be counter-intuitive for companies in the Car Industry and U.S. Companies in general.

As a result, the phones stop ringing and the Sale Department is now a cost with nothing coming into the business.

According to the Tribune Publishing Company, in the 1920’s,  Post and Kellogg’s rose their market spending 30% in the middle of the Great Depression and became house-hold names.  With the 1970’s Oil Embargo, American became familiar with Toyota that became a house-hold name from the Car Industry.  During the 1990’s economic downturn, we saw Pizza Hut increase spend on marketing by 61% and Taco Bell increased their marketing spend 40%.  Meanwhile, fast food giant McDonalds cut back to lose 28%.  Finally, in 2009 we saw that cute little digital book company called Amazon increase 29% as Trillions were lost in other sections of the economy.  Today, Amazon has become a digital marketing Juggernaut.  This is a historical economic prediction indicator that many businesses will ignore at their peril.  Some are currently reading this in the Car Industry but it won't matter to them until it is to late.


My message should be clear, when you see competitors shut down their marketing or digital marketing when the bubble busts, take advantage and double down on your marketing, or don’t.

     2. “What capital investment will be necessary to deliver higher sustained net profitability?”

Accepting what we now know historically from the last question, looking to digital marketing tools with strategies which already have been  tried, tested and proven in the Car Industry and others, that can now, laser target the exact clients like never before, why wouldn't anyone be curious?  You try to get to buyers of your cars and provide ongoing service to keep those cars running, right?  The way you get in front of  these folks, and stay in front of these folks is through Big Data, and not expensive Mass Media in 2021 and beyond.  Digital Marketing has changed the Car Industry and more industries forever.  The question now is, "Will the leaders in industries like the Car Industry respond to economic prediction warnings like this and Mr. Cerami’s work before it is to late?"  Some will, and some won’t.  Coupled with the less sexy Reputation Marketing, The Big Data Campaign customized programs is a one-two marketing strategy combo is a knockout every time.   As we move closer to the Economic Bubble Bursting, I’d be Happy to show what kind of powerful system this digital marketing can do for any companies short term and long term profitability.

       3. “How will these strategic measures positively impact our culture and improve the client experience in                  the short term and long term?”

As far as economic prediction goes, improving your online Reputation, especially on Google, gives any company the credibility, authority and builds the trust for any searcher to become a powerful lead.  Currently, 87% of Consumers look up a company they are interested in possibly doing business with before ever contacting that company.  Most go to Google.  Does that make sense?  The Reputation Marketing strategy, done right, in essence, stops the shopping as it answers 2 of the 3 questions consumers are searching for, namely:

       A.      Are you a reputable company to do business with?

       B.      Do you have the – Brand, Product or Service I looking for now? 

       C.      Are you going to give me a good deal?

I have not got any economic prediction if my client intends to give their potential client’s a good deal, but I do monitor their online reviews so I find out.  I feel this is my added responsibility as an industry leader.

Using Big Data, we can find all the customers for every U.S. Car Industry Dealer, combining Digital Marketing Banner Ad Re-Targeting campaigns, that not only converts business for the short-term but results in a permanent solution for long-term reliance on expensive mass marketing strategies.  

The Car Industry leaders that choose, right now, to profit while saving of this main expense will win and they will see these results, right now, in months instead of years.

Sandy Cerami’s economic prediction and saving strategies are all sound for the Car Industry.  From the credit/debit card fee transactions, service experiences improvements, solar energy solutions, tire ware analysis, digital engagement, ESOP – Employee Stock ownership plans and finally form free Direct One-Way Customer Engagement Platform.

Conclusion

Although I believe the 7 Strategic solutions are absolutely expense killers, they all are not necessarily Profit Drivers for the Car Industry.  The addition of, first, a Reputation Marketing Strategy coupled with a laser re-targeted Big Data Campaign Display Digital Marketing program, can solve the worrisome economic prediction about the bubble bursting no matter the size of the bubble.  To learn more, Click the Self Booking Link below and simply choose the best date and time for you.  We hold our meeting on Zoom so you can actually see what we are saying:

Unlocking Potential: The True Nature of Halfway Projects in Marketing

Update Understanding Halfway Projects: The Value in Completion The relevance of finishing what we start often goes unnoticed in our fast-paced world. When it comes to projects, particularly in the fields of digital marketing and AI innovations, the concept of halfway projects represents a critical juncture. When Does Halfway Work? Not every endeavor requires a full commitment to yield results. For example, if you embark on an email marketing campaign and only develop half the content, you still strike a conversation with your audience. Studies have shown that partial exposure can garner up to 85% of the intended engagement, much like eating only part of a pear. This means that while one may not capture every opportunity, some positive impact can still be felt. The All-or-Nothing Dilemma On the other hand, certain projects demand full completion to be effective. A half-baked ad campaign or an incomplete social media promotion can fall flat and offer little to no return. It’s crucial for growth hackers and digital marketers to differentiate between projects that can deliver value at 50% completion and those that absolutely need full-scale execution. Learning from Failure: Assess and Adjust One of the most beneficial aspects of examining halfway projects is the lessons learned from their potential failure. Digital marketers can gain insights by analyzing partial projects and understanding the common pitfalls. The result can often lead to improved strategies, encouraging a culture of iterative learning, not just immediate success. Aligning Resources and Expectations If resources are limited, understanding which projects are worth the full investment is vital. Aligning outcomes with calculated risks leads to more thoughtful project execution, enhancing productivity. As industry shifts occur, reevaluating priorities may mean recognizing when it’s best to cut projects that aren’t bringing the anticipated returns. Final Thoughts: Embrace the Journey In the realm of digital strategies and innovative marketing, knowing when to push through to completion or when to pivot can determine success. Every project offers invaluable insights, but being mindful of halfway efforts can create a more substantial impact. Start viewing these projects not just as benchmarks of failure but as opportunities to learn and innovate.

Visionary Content: Your Secret Edge for Turning Audiences into Followers

Update Innovation in Content: Why Visionary Thinking MattersIn the ever-evolving landscape of digital marketing, playing it safe can often lead to missed opportunities. The digital marketing space is flooded with content that lacks inspiration, as teams prioritize trends over substantial storytelling. What if, instead, we embraced the unconventional, the bold visions that not only capture but hold an audience's attention? Matthew McConaughey’s Oscar speech serves as a profound reminder of the value of aspiration—not just in personal growth but also in how brands can position themselves within a crowded market.Discovering Unique NarrativesCreating visionary content involves much more than following the crowd. It's about crafting narratives that resonate deeply with your audience's aspirations. This type of content strives to elevate the conversation surrounding brands and products, aiming to inspire and provoke thought. By helping audiences define their goals, aspirations, and challenges, visionary content doesn't just sell—it motivates. Think about how the narrative around emerging technologies, like generative AI, can be used as a catalyst for discussions about the future of marketing, innovation, and even customer relationships.The Cost of Conventional RiskSadly, many content teams churn out standardized, safe articles that merely chase after clickbait. Studies show that safer campaigns require significantly larger budgets to gain similar levels of engagement as innovative entails. In many cases, boring content not only falls flat, but it can also erode brand loyalty. For example, a company heralding the next big thing in AI but providing drab, uninspiring content will struggle to captivate an audience eager for innovation. Those brands must ask themselves: Are we providing our audience with something worth pursuing?Future Focus: What Lies AheadVisionary content paves the way for future trends. By focusing on the potential impacts of technology and trends in various industries, brands can differentiate themselves from competitors. Marketers must think beyond just today’s trends and embrace the necessary foresight to create engaging narratives that hold the test of time. Engaging your audience with bold visions—whether through storytelling or facilitating connections—creates opportunities for growth, both for your brand and for your clientele.Inspiration in UncertaintyRisk often leads to reward in the realm of content marketing. By stepping outside conventional confines, brands can carve out their unique edges. The current digital landscape thrives on creativity, imagination, and, above all, courage. Companies should not shy away from creating the unconventional—to challenge norms and disrupt the status quo. Embracing visionary content allows brands to position themselves as thought leaders.Conclusion: Be the Content Your Audience DesiresIn a noisy online environment, it's vital for brands to articulate clear goals and exceptional stories. By focusing on the visionary aspect of content, marketers can not only stand out from the crowd but also create lasting impact and inspire diverse audiences. As digital marketers, consider how often you provide something worth pursuing, something to chase. Let this ethos guide you toward creating content that resonates, inspires, and ultimately transforms!

Transforming Marketing: The Unmatched Impact of Data Analytics

Update The Crucial Rise of Data-Driven Marketing In today’s rapidly changing economic landscape, businesses are continually searching for more effective ways to engage with their customers. Traditional marketing tactics often fall short, leading to missed opportunities and wasted resources. Enter data-driven marketing, a revolutionary approach that leverages analytics to create more targeted and effective marketing strategies. This method is not just a trend; it’s the future of how brands develop connections and drive growth. Understanding the Power of Analytics Analytics empower marketers to access comprehensive data about customer behaviors, preferences, and purchasing journeys. By observing these insights, companies can tailor their messages and offers for different segments of their audience. This sophistication is particularly valuable in crafting marketing strategies that resonate deeply with consumers, ensuring that messages cut through digital clutter. Segmentation: The Key to Personalized Marketing One of the core benefits of data-driven marketing is the ability to segment audiences effectively. By utilizing demographic, geographic, and psychographic data, marketers can create distinct groups of customers. This segmentation allows businesses to craft personalized campaigns that address specific needs and desires, ultimately leading to higher engagement rates and conversion successes. Insights into Consumer Behavior: Behavioral Tracking Behavior tracking is a vital component of data-driven marketing that enables businesses to grasp how customers interact with their brand across multiple platforms. This insight is instrumental for identifying purchasing patterns, enabling marketers to anticipate consumer needs and enhance the overall customer experience. Marketers can refine their strategies by adjusting offerings based on these tracked behaviors, leading to more favorable outcomes. Sentiment Analysis: Gauging Public Perception With social media being an everyday staple for many, sentiment analysis has become crucial. By analyzing social media interactions and customer feedback, brands can gather valuable insights into public sentiment towards their products or services. Understanding perceptions allows marketers to pivot and adjust strategies that don’t resonate, ensuring that all communications are in line with consumer expectations. Dynamic Content Delivery: Adapting to Individual Preferences With a masterful understanding of customer data, marketers can create dynamic content that personalizes the customer journey. For instance, algorithms could recommend products based on individual browsing history or previous purchases, which not only increases conversion rates but also enhances customer satisfaction. This tailored approach is essential for retaining current customers and attracting new ones. Embracing a Data-Driven Future As businesses seek to keep pace with the changing demands of their customers, the shift toward data-driven marketing represents a significant opportunity. The methodologies provided through analytics not only facilitate strategic insights but also foster deeper connections with audiences. Organizations willing to embrace this shift are more likely to succeed in the fast-paced digital marketplace.
