Ep 11: Ali & Duncan Go Nuts for Trucks - We Start the Coolest Truck Dealership EVER

In this episode of Marketing Ping Pong, Ali and Duncan discuss the idea of creating a unique and engaging car dealership experience.

They focus on the concept of selling trucks and how to differentiate the dealership from the typical boring and over-the-top marketing tactics used by car dealerships.

They draw inspiration from the example of Billy, the Kia dealership guy, who created a memorable brand through his unique personality and storytelling. They also explore the idea of creating a dedicated space within the dealership for truck enthusiasts, complete with a whiskey bar and a kitschy, over-the-top design.
