Dealers "Reconnect" with Customers at 2009 Dallas Auto Show
Product specialists and dealership sales personnel have traditionally been the "go to" people at auto shows for consumers looking for detailed information about the vehicles on the exhibit floor. This year, however, Dallas Auto Show attendees found themselves actually talking to the dealer principals themselves.
"Many of our dealers were on hand this year to help instill consumer confidence in the automobile industry as well as the economy as a whole," said Drew Campbell, president of the New Car Dealers Association of Metropolitan Dallas. "And, they discovered that the 2009 Dallas Auto Show was a great opportunity to reconnect with their customers."
David Thomas, 2009 Dallas Auto Show chairman, and Don Herring Jr., 2009 NCDA chairman, were two dealers who didn't miss one day of opportunities to visit with prospective customers.
