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."
Paul Barrett commented on Mark Dubis's blog post If A Dealership Turned OFF Facebook, Twitter and Google+ What would Happen?"I somewhat agree with Timothy M. The only reason I posted in here was to offer some insight to dealers who may not be utilizing this outlet properly. I have no interest in spending my time on things that are not effective. Also for…"
Timothy Martell commented on Mark Dubis's blog post If A Dealership Turned OFF Facebook, Twitter and Google+ What would Happen?"I have to say, I am actually shocked that this post got so much feedback. I have to say though, that anyone here who commented as a dealer really wasted their time. What is the point of this post anyway? What value has been gained from it. Who will…"
Rob Hagen commented on Mark Dubis's blog post If A Dealership Turned OFF Facebook, Twitter and Google+ What would Happen?"Well said Mike! Your comment reminded me of something a dealer told me a week or so ago: "I'm no longer hiring anyone who doesn't have a smartphone or 500 friends on Facebook." lol"
Mike Arnold commented on Mark Dubis's blog post If A Dealership Turned OFF Facebook, Twitter and Google+ What would Happen?"Social media is in it's infant stages now, it depends on the focus of the dealership weather it's helped by Facebook or they are just tagging along because that's where the world is headed. The potential for any dealer is completely…"

They bounce from site to site looking for something that distinguishes one dealer from the next. They know they can get a car for the same price wherever they decide to buy, they are shopping for a…"
Keith Shetterly commented on Mark Dubis's blog post If A Dealership Turned OFF Facebook, Twitter and Google+ What would Happen?"Social Media is An Amplifier Not The Answer.

Thomas A. Kelly commented on Mark Dubis's blog post If A Dealership Turned OFF Facebook, Twitter and Google+ What would Happen?"It always seems no matter what question is posed, the marketers of anything social become defensive and rarely focus on the actual question/topic. I don't see social as an all or nothing thing at this point. Many who promote social would have…"
