Gumtree hosts virtual seminar for car dealerships
Gumtree South Africa will host a virtual seminar for car dealerships to support them during the COVID-19 lockdown period. Attendees can join via Zoom video link or telephonically.
“The automotive sector, like most other businesses in South Africa, are faced with an uncertain future. Not only the effects of the lockdown, but also the looming recession and the downgrade to junk status,” says Nunben Dixon, Head of Gumtree Auto. “We’ve studied the impact on markets like China, as well as best practices for virtual trading, and have invited experts from the industry to share their projections, advice and insights with our dealer base.”
Gumtree Auto was the first auto platform to offer a fee waiver for the month of April in support of the automotive industry. “We are facing unprecedented challenges in an already challenging market,” says Dixon. “We have to learn to the roll with the punches and as an online sales platform, we are here to assist businesses as they transition into an online-first business. The lingering effects of this pandemic will not only impact the economy but also the way consumers transact with our businesses.”
The first virtual dealer seminar will be titled “The Next 21 days” and will feature presentations by Customer Experience Head at Ford South Africa and Kriben Reddy from Transunion, as well as an interactive Q&A session. It takes place on the 2ndof April 2020 at 10 am and all dealerships are invited to join, but space is limited.
