Car dealer busiest week
January 29th, 2010 by Richard Aucock
JANUARY has provided rich pickings for one car dealer which has experienced a record-breaking week.
Auction4Cars says the second week of January has seen a huge 40 percent like-for-like sales increase.
This, says the car-dealer-only firm, proves that internet retailing is the way forward.
‘January has been a very busy month for us, and promises to be our busiest on record,’ says group disposals manager Neil Prescott.
What’s led to it? Believe it or not, the cold weather and heavy snow! ‘The extreme weather conditions certainly played their part, with many people now converted to the idea of buying stock online from alternative suppliers such as Auction4Cars.’
Car dealers apparently had to abandon plans to travel out to car auctions, and instead conduct their reckoning online. This led to the traffic spike experienced by Auction4Cars.
The firm now hopes the rush will continue, to help it achieve its goal of doubling registered users in 2008.
