It’s all too easy to look on the dark side of life. With your showrooms empty, VAT rising and car manufacturer bosses warning of a tough year ahead, it’s hard to stay upbeat.
We know the last few issues may have been a little bit depressing. That’s why, with a new year upon us, we decided to lighten the mood and throw the doors open only to those who could give you a reason to be cheerful.
What’s quite clear is that 2011 is going to be tough – but with a host of new model launches, new technologies to help you promote your offerings, and suppliers fighting to give you the best possible deal, things start to look a little bit rosier.
It’s all about being positive. Even when your dealership is punting out cars left, right and centre, and you’re enjoying holidays in Barbados, things can still look depressing. If you’re in the wrong frame of mind you’ll be worrying about when the good times will come to an end…
By seeing your pint glass as half full and focussing on the brighter side of life, the weight will be lifted. It’s easy to moan and groan – instead try putting that effort into cheering your staff up and working out how you’re going to make 2011 a success.
To give you some inspiration, we’ve spoken to car makers, suppliers and dealers, like you, about their reasons to be cheerful. We’ve also highlighted two companies’ fantastic offers to help you keep stock moving – one helps you buy stock at the right price, the other helps you get them shifted. Both are waiting to put a smile on your face by showing you what they can do. Happy reading…
