So many traders with same backgrounds

[Register1]

Noticed a lot of traders using this background.
How come?

It’s software provided by a company called Citnow (or another similar) where you take photos of the car and the software adds the background in.

It means you can take photos of cars anywhere and you get a uniform look across your website.

BCA use it, They’re pictures lifted directly from the BCA system

So the pictures are BCA provided, when they were selling the car, and the new trader, simple just used the original images ?

Most likely, yes. Often so they can advertise whilst awaiting delivery from BCA I suspect.

That’s right, from a dealer’s point of view it means they can advertise the car straight away. Personally, I think it looks st and would rather wait to do my own photos.

You have to bear in mind this illustrates the used car market perfectly. They don’t do fk all - buy at auction, punt on to buyers with large markup without even giving the car a clean or hoover in most cases, and fight any comebacks!

Sad but oh so true….

Driven by the burning desire of the general public to May the smallest amount possible for everything
