Auto Dealership Customer Acquisition Drivers

Knowing your customer acquisition drivers (why they chose you and not your competition) gives you strategic insight when designing and deploying marketing communication content and what you see in the image are researched customer acquisition drivers for a the Auto Dealership industry in Nigeria by Neetch Company .

We settled for fish and chips but we needed to be sure how much to order so we asked a simple question "how big is the fish? would one be enough for 2 people for instance" and she responds "Just as it appears in the menu book". We tried to make her understand our question but instead of trying to advise and convince us on what to buy, she simply coldly stuck to her response..."Just as it appears in the menu book". Of course we walked out immediately. Details of Experience Shared What is the name of the product, service or company? Lounge 38 How would you describe your experience?
