Traditionally, you will do a three day event. What happens after the third day? What happened to the customer you didn’t reach? What happened to the customer that came in but didn’t buy? What happens to the customer who made an appointment and didn’t show up? Do you remarket to them With a strategy that is measured with real live tracking behavior? At Bumper, we do this because your event is not only three days long. It’s 30 days long at no extra charge! If you were paying extra for SMS ,email or ringless voice drops, you need to stop! With Bumper it’s all included and it’s unlimited. And it’s unlimited all month long.

🚘🔌 In the fast-evolving world of luxury electric vehicles (EVs), we're seeing a significant shift in market dynamics. Recent data by the team at carsales.com.au highlights a sharp decline in the resale values of high-end electric cars, a trend sparking conversations across the industry. Despite the challenges, this offers an opportunity for consumers looking for premium EVs at more accessible prices. https://buff.ly/4aV7UT3

Auto industry is this such a priority??? What about the truth on black history? Black people ruled the planet for 5,800 years and the 1 percent whites [ who today comprise 5 to 8 percent of the 8.2 billion globe ] in the 1700s lived in Caucasus caves and the Ural Mountains. Read Ben Franklin's essay on the increase of mankind 1751. See the Moors Quadrille 1706 painting on my wall showing 4 black European kings in Warsaw Poland obtained from the Dresden Museum of Ethnology. History is a fraud and grounded in white supremacy which is two fold : 1. Label all blacks as African and deny our royal past as kings and queens of the planet for 5800 years to a black Adam BCE4000, and 2 Hide at all costs the very, very , very basic and humble origins of whites ie 1 percent of the planet in the 1700s who were called wild hairy people who had no last names and either took their names from black noble Europeans or made up a name when they were moved around the globe in the 1800s like chess pieces on the board to rich Western European/ mining territories to control the planet. A black God Yah shall return for his beloved people. Good luck avoiding the End of Days. Shalom from a real black Scot and black Hebrew.

Yes Ursula von der Leyen, “boosting #DataDriven #Innovation and #Digitalisation, based on forward-looking technologies like #AI and #AutonomousDriving,” is essential! For ALL European industries. The EU’s Strategic Dialogue for the #Automotive Industry is timely —but can it overcome the mistakes of the past? Europe’s auto sector has often stumbled when it came to defining a sustainable future. Take VW’s #XL1 —a 1L/100km marvel —or Audi’s #A2 with its lightweight aluminum body. Visionary concepts, yet abandoned. Why? Instead, #Dieselgate, #pimping and #supersizing shattered trust in leadership. How will the EU ensure accountability this time? Mobility should be simple: moving from A to B —whether via basic or advanced designs, comfort, digital features, driving assistance, propulsion type, and so on. Yet today’s cars feel like Tamagotchis—demanding more time, money, and attention—while giving very little back. Europe must strike a balance between innovation, sustainability, and trust if it wants to lead not just the global automotive sector but the broader #industrial #transformation. Industris are not silos. They are connected! Will this new initiative deliver? Time will tell. I hope so. For now, my enthusiasm for contemporary cars has dimmed. But Europe’s relevance remains its strength. When people are asked where they’d want to live, work, and spend their time, Europe still scores exceptionally high. What a starting point for the next chapter! But we must sober up, refresh, and recommit to leadership. N.B. #England —pull yourselves together! Admit #populism isn’t a recipe for the future, and do everything you can to re-ENTER. Never mind that Doggerland is submerged —we’re still connected 😊

Did you know that 53 Chinese car brands participated in the latest auto show in Chengdu? Yes, 53! This is just one example of how Chinese brands are poised to dominate, not only in Europe but also in the U.S. The global landscape is shifting fast, and European brands will need to step up their brand-building efforts if they want to stay competitive. The automotive industry is just the beginning—now’s the time to act. https://lnkd.in/diYvTrh2

Life has a way of throwing unexpected challenges our way. Recently, my trusty 2010 Jeep Liberty decided it was time for us to part ways. With two blown head gaskets and a repair bill higher than its worth, I had to make the tough decision to let it go. Timing wasn't ideal, but sometimes we don't get to choose when things happen. So, I embraced the situation, said goodbye to my old friend and welcomed "Maz" -- my new 2018 Jeep Compass. It's not red. It's actually "spitfire orange," and it's a stick shift (brings back high school/early college memories). This experience reinforced my new motto: "Breathe in, Breathe out, Move on." It's a reminder that we can't control everything that happens to us, but we can control how we respond. By staying calm, accepting the present and moving forward, we can navigate through any challenge life throws our way. Here's to embracing change and finding new beginnings! #marketingninja #changeisgood #embracethenow #breatheinbreatheoutmoveon #staycalm #newcar #wednesdaywisdom
