Now that is just NOT right.
There is Purple Tie etiquette, people!
Ryan seems to think he's the only one who knows how to use Photo Shop. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
(Jeff, Alex, Uncle Joe... I think we need to resurrect that idea about banning DealerRater from DR...)![]()
By the way, where is the Purple Tie convention being held next week? I'd sure like to see a DealerRefresh meet up at Digital Dealer.
...That would be hilarious, though... DR Folk dress in Purple Ties to identify each other... great way to spot "friends" in the crowd, huh? hahaha...
# Summary Automotive professionals share examples of "wow factor" initiatives at their dealerships to differentiate customer experience, ranging from food offerings (continental breakfast, pizza, cafeteria) and promotional games (prize drawings for discounts/electronics) to service amenities like free car washes and shuttle services. The most compelling insight comes from Craig at Acton Toyota, who argues that the true "wow" factors are actually fundamental business practices—delivering on promises, transparent pricing, proper product training, and professional customer treatment—combined with tangible amenities like an on-site cafeteria that serve both customers and employees. The thread suggests that exceptional online ratings and customer loyalty stem less from gimmicks and more from consistently executing basic best practices while adding thoughtful convenience features.
