Marketing opportunity
A marketing opportunity is a specific, timely reason to promote a particular vehicle now, such as an aging unit, a recent price drop, or a seasonal fit.
It is the answer to the question that actually runs a lot: of everything in inventory, what deserves the push today? A marketing opportunity turns that from a guess into a signal grounded in the facts of the inventory.
Spotting the moment is the easy half. The hard half is that acting on it means new photographs, a fresh description, and a video, which is the work most sellers cannot turn around quickly enough for the moment to still be there.
