Stan Sher commented on Mark Dubis's blog post If A Dealership Turned OFF Facebook, Twitter and Google+ What would Happen?"I am enjoying the comments and this post. I can;t really come up with an answer except I do not think that we would see a decline in sales. We will just see a decline in marketing efforts and possibilities of acquiring more sales."
