ADME commentary

The ADME angle

Reduced speed limits in Melbourne will lead to increased travel times, potentially affecting the number of customers visiting showrooms in the area.

The 18-month trial period provides a unique opportunity for dealers to assess the impact of reduced speed limits on their business and adjust their marketing strategies accordingly.

Impact on Showroom Traffic

Dealers with showrooms in Melbourne should expect a potential decrease in foot traffic due to the increased travel times, which could result in lower sales.

The local council's call for feedback on the move presents an opportunity for dealers to provide input and potentially mitigate the negative effects of reduced speed limits.

Competitor Response and Marketing

Competitors who adapt quickly to the changed traffic conditions and adjust their marketing strategies to focus on local customers may gain an advantage over those who do not.

Dealers should focus on targeting local customers who are less likely to be deterred by the reduced speed limits, and invest in online marketing to reach customers who may be put off by the increased travel times.

Actionable Steps

This week, dealers can start by reviewing their marketing strategies and assessing the potential impact of reduced speed limits on their business, to determine the best course of action to mitigate any negative effects.
