Does anyone on here pay a photographer to take the pictures of their stock and if so do you think that their (the photographer) services are reasonably priced or inflated? I was having a conversation with a dealer and he is going completely virtual with his stock. Something similar to Imperial Car Supermarket. It seems more dealers are using 360 virtual tours but is the price worth it? The dealer I was talking to said his cost was fifty pounds a unit.

Posting Pictures / information/ Registration numbers on Social Media. I’ve been thinking about this for a quite a while and the recent story about Paul Weller made me wonder even more. I’m always cautious about what information I post on social media, I always ask customers if they are OK with their picture being posted on FB / Twitter when they’ve bought a car from me. It’s all too easy to snap away without thinking and post pictures /information which could cause an issue for some one. The Paul Weller situation is a bit different as it’s his children, but what if you spotted a car with an unusual registration number , snapped away posted it on twitter , and the car shouldn’t have been there for whatever reason ??? I nearly did that say a car with ‘GOK’ ( Don’t think it was Gok Wan !) But was just about to take a picture and thought ‘what if’ ... I didn’t bother! We all do these things on spur of the moment and its for fun , but in reality are we asking for trouble ? lawsuit ? any thoughts ?
