The phone is an auto dealer's most essential sales tool. According to a study by Google, 70% of mobile phone users said they would call a company if making a high-value purchase like a car. 

It’s been a challenging 18 months for the auto industry. Inventory shortages, rising prices, and higher interest rates are having a dampening effect on sales. Economists expect annual sales for 2022 to be 4.5% below 2021 levels, which were also down because of the pandemic. Sales are expected to bounce back in 2023 by nearly 5% year-on-year, and in 2024, sales should increase by almost 4%. So, it will be a slow progression back to pre-pandemic levels for the industry. 

The NADA Show is back for 2022 and it looks like it’s going to be better than ever! After years of social distancing, we’re excited for the opportunity to gather in person and put names to faces.
