The 9 by 7 inch iPad is responsible for a growing percentage of all Internet traffic. Seventy-nine percent of consumers use their mobile phones for shopping and one-third of consumers use their phones to shop for auto-related items. On eBay alone, nearly 270,000 vehicle parts and accessories are sold every week through mobile applications. We are clearly at an inflection point ? the impact technology will have on shopping in the next three years is as big an impact as technology has had on media in the last three years.
Clayton Stanfield, senior manager of dealer training at eBay Motors, will be leading a panel discussion of industry experts and successful dealers in the online parts and accessories space including: Justin Copple, sales manager at Copple Chevrolet GMC and Erica Sietsma, director of strategic relationships for Digital Air Strike. The panel discussion will provide insight on how dealers and managers can take advantage of the commerce everywhere trend, using smartphones, tablets, and mobile devices to reach consumers when, where and how they want to shop. The panel will also look at four current commerce trends: mobile, local, social and digital. Clayton Stanfield, Justin Copple and Erica Sietsma will be sharing their expertise with you.
